Weighted Average
Hi - in periods of rising prices, the FIFO (fist in, first out) will give the highest ending inventory. The other two options (LIFO last in first out) will give the lowest ending inventory and the average method will give between the two. Hope this helps!
Generally that would be LIFO or Last In First Out, which basically means, the last Inventory you get in is the first inventory you sale.While prices are constantly rising, that would mean the higher priced items would sale first. That however, is ONLY if they were the ones received at the latest time/date.
