Показать описание
Inventory cost accounting using the FIFO method versus using the LIFO method. The acronym FIFO stands for First In First Out. The acronym LIFO stands for Last In First Out. Both #FIFO and #LIFO are #costaccounting fictions that can lead to very different numbers of Cost Of Goods Sold and Gross Profit. Let’s work through a visual as well as a numerical example of FIFO versus LIFO.

Interesting example. We are always told LIFO always results in lower Gross Profits than FIFO as prices increase. However, in your May example you show how it can be higher in a given month.

Why do you for FIFO assume that it's 200 x 6$ for February when you said before that only 100 were sold for that month? And why is it 200 for march then, if it were 200 originally? I don't understand !!!
