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.

What are the differences between FIFO, LIFO, and HIFO inventory costing methods and how do they impact a company's financial statements?

The main differences between FIFO, LIFO, and HIFO inventory costing methods lie in how they value inventory. FIFO (First-In-First-Out) assumes that the oldest inventory is sold first, LIFO (Last-In-First-Out) assumes that the newest inventory is sold first, and HIFO (Highest-In-First-Out) values inventory based on the highest cost items first. These methods can impact a company's financial statements by affecting the reported cost of goods sold, net income, and taxes paid.
