LIFO - last in first out.
Following are inventory valuation methods: 1 - Lifo (Last in first out) 2 - Fifo (First in first out) 3 - Average method.

Last In First Out
There are different inventory costing methods an accountant can use for cost o goods sold accounting. The methods include last in, first out, average cost method, first in, first out, and specific identification method.
Lifo (Last in first out) method will produce highest cost of goods sold because inventory with higher value will be charged first as it arrived in last.
Last in First out reserve increases
Inventory can be valued in many different ways but there are 3 popular methods. One is called FIFO (first in first out), another called LIFO (last in first out) and the last called weighted average.

I believe that it is FIFO and LIFO, which is first in first out and last in first out.
