a decrease in the LIFO reserve is subtracted from LIFO cost of goods sold.
Significant cash flow advantages over FIFO
LIFO inventory valuation assumes the latest purchased inventory becomes part of the cost of goods sold, while the FIFO method assigns inventory items that were purchased first to the cost of goods sold. In an inflationary environment, the LIFO method will result in a higher cost of goods sold figure and one that more accurately matches the sales dollars recorded at current dollars.
no, FIFO, LIFO, and weighted-average method are cost flow assumptions these assumptions bear no relation to the physical flow of goods; they are merely used to assign costs to inventory units.
LIFO stands for Last In First Out, so the last piece of inventory you create (including the costs for that last piece of inventory), is the cost base you use when you match sales against costs of goods sold (COGS) FIFO stands for First in First Out, so the oldest piece of inventory you have is what you match against your next sale. So, in a period of increasing input prices to your production (which is the general norm), under a LIFO model, you'll see higher prices immediately impacting your COGS, whereas under a FIFO model, it will take some time before those higher costs are impacting your COGS.

LIFO and stack are synonyms, so are FIFO and queue.
fifo
A FIFO, or First In First Out is a queue.A stack is a LIFO or Last In First Out.
FIFO is "first in, first out", (used basically for rotating stock) but could also be applied to other aspects of cooking. LIFO would be "last in, first out".
No. It is a LIFO.(FIFO means first-in-first-out. LIFO means last-in-first-out. A FIFO is a queue, such as a group of people standing in line to buy theater tickets. A LIFO is a different sort of queue, such as a nested interrupt and/or subroutine call stack, where each entry preempts the prior entry.)
