FIFO
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.
There will probably be a discrepancy if the statements use LIFO or FIFO. For instance, if a company uses LIFO and the price of the input was cheaper at an earlier time, then the COGS might be lower than the price paid for inputs during that time period and vice versa.
One should use LIFO (Last In, First Out) in inventory management when they want to minimize taxes and show lower profits on their financial statements. FIFO (First In, First Out) should be used when they want to reflect current costs and show higher profits.
There are several costing items that has change in the adoption of IFRS, for in GAAP the stock valuation or material pricing adopted is LIFO and FIFO but in IFRS only FIFO is adopted etc
Accounting and Financial areas includes payroll adminstration, cash budgeting, cash flow management, tax, Budget preparation & verification, MIS, FIFO, LIFO, etc..........

LIFO and stack are synonyms, so are FIFO and queue.
yes
fifo
A FIFO, or First In First Out is a queue.A stack is a LIFO or Last In First Out.
Yes, During periods of significantly increasing costs, LIFO when compared to FIFO will cause a higher cost of goods sold on the income statement. Which means a lower net income.
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.)
