FIFO means first in first out so it means the items purchased earlier will be used in production first so it is not the recent prices which are allocated to cost of goods sold in LIFO last in first out most recent prices are used but not in FIFO.
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).

LIFO (Last in first out) is the inventory costing method which allocates the most recent costs to cost of goods sold.
LIFO (Last in First Out) method is the method which charge the most recent prices to cost of goods manufactured and sold statement.
The inventory costing method that charges the most recent costs incurred is known as the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) method. Under LIFO, the most recently purchased or produced inventory items are considered to be sold first, which can lead to lower taxable income during times of rising prices. This method contrasts with First-In, First-Out (FIFO), where the oldest costs are recorded as expenses first. LIFO is often used in industries where inventory costs fluctuate significantly.
The inventory costing method that requires the calculation of a new average cost after each purchase is the moving average method. This approach updates the average cost of inventory continuously, reflecting the most recent purchases and ensuring that the cost of goods sold and ending inventory are based on the latest average cost. It is particularly useful for businesses with a high volume of inventory transactions.
The inventory costing method that charges the most recent costs incurred against revenue is known as the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) method. Under LIFO, it is assumed that the last items added to inventory are the first ones sold, resulting in higher cost of goods sold during periods of rising prices. This can lead to lower taxable income and reduced tax liability, but it may also result in lower reported profits. LIFO is less commonly used under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which do not permit its use.
