If inventory goods are perishable, then FIFO is the best method because older goods need to be sold before newer goods.

Some companies use LIFO because this strategy means less taxable income (assuming that prices are increasing).

Regardless, whatever strategy a business uses for statements it must also use that strategy for income tax preparation.
