LIFO (Last In, First Out) and FIFO (First In, First Out) are inventory valuation methods used in accounting. Under LIFO, the most recently acquired inventory items are sold first, which can lead to lower taxable income during periods of inflation. Conversely, FIFO assumes that the oldest inventory items are sold first, often resulting in higher taxable income but a more accurate representation of inventory value. Each method impacts financial statements and tax liabilities differently, influencing business decisions and cash flow management.
