Why does net income change with the FIFO?
FIFO (first in first out) is a method of account for inventory. With FIFO, if inventory costs are increasing your cost of goods sold will be lower than under the LIFO (last in first out) method. If inventory costs are increasing, FIFO will result in higher net income (lower COGS) than LIFO. If inventory costs are decreasing, FIFO will result in lower net income (higher COGS) than LIFO.

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.

Do the terms FIFO and LIFO refer to techniques used in determining quantities of the various classes of merchandise on hand?
Yes, FIFO (First-In, First-Out) and LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) are inventory valuation methods used to determine the cost of goods sold and the value of inventory on hand. FIFO assumes that the oldest inventory items are sold first, while LIFO assumes that the most recently acquired items are sold first. These methods can significantly affect financial statements and tax liabilities, depending on inventory costs and market conditions.
