Last in, First Out (LIFO) method for inventory accounting LIFO

LIFO is an acronym that stands for last in, first out.

The LIFO method assumes that the latest goods purchased are the first to be sold. LIFO seldom concedes with the actual physical flow of inventory

Under the LIFO method, the costs of the latest goods purchased are the first to be assigned to cost of goods sold.

Advantages of Last In First Out(LIFO) method : LIFO

In the case of falling prices profit tends to rise due to lower material cost, yet the finished products appear to be more competitive and are at market price.

Over a period, the use of LIFO helps to iron out the fluctuations in profits

In the period of inflation LIFO will tend to show the correct profit and thus avoid paying undue taxes to some extent
