Fifo Vs Lifo
In accounting, there are inventory methods one must know any day.
It does not matter whether or not you are a CPA.
One of the accepted methods is commonly known as “FIFO”
Another inventory accounting procedure is called “LIFO”
Those are both acronyms in case you didn’t know.
Everything depends on the current economic situation.
Each method may render a different inventory valuation.
This is especially true in significant periods of inflation.
“FIFO” stands for “first in, first out”
“LIFO” means “last in, first out”
In the former, the earliest prices are used to determine inventory value.
With “LIFO”, the most recent costs are used in income review.
Become familiar with both procedures and others like this.
Get to know these two valuations if you are involved in business.
