LIFO - Last In First Out
LIFO (Last in First Out) method is the method which charge the most recent prices to cost of goods manufactured and sold statement.
LIFO (Last in first out) method assigns the most recent cost to cost of goods sold because in this method goods received in last are used first.
The advantage of the FIFO (First In, First Out) method is that it provides a more accurate representation of inventory costs during inflation, as older, cheaper costs are matched against current revenues, resulting in higher profits. Conversely, the LIFO (Last In, First Out) method can lead to tax advantages during inflation by matching recent, higher costs against revenues, reducing taxable income. However, a disadvantage of FIFO is that it may result in higher taxes during inflation, while LIFO can distort inventory values on the balance sheet and may not reflect the actual flow of inventory.

No, under the LIFO (Last In, First Out) inventory costing method, the most recent costs are assigned to the cost of goods sold, not to ending inventory. This means that the older costs remain in the ending inventory. Consequently, in periods of rising prices, LIFO typically results in lower ending inventory values and higher cost of goods sold compared to FIFO (First In, First Out).
