LIFO Reserve
The LIFO reserve is calculated by taking the difference between the inventory reported under the Last In, First Out (LIFO) method and the inventory that would have been reported under the First In, First Out (FIFO) method. It reflects the amount by which LIFO inventory is less than FIFO inventory. To calculate it, you subtract the LIFO inventory balance from the FIFO inventory balance at the end of a reporting period. This reserve is important for understanding the tax implications and financial health of a company using LIFO accounting.
There is pretty much only 1 advantage of LIFO: tax deferral.
