Quick Summary
This discussion explains the FIFO (First-In, First-Out) and LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) inventory costing methods. FIFO assumes the oldest inventory items are sold first, using their original costs. LIFO assumes the newest inventory items are sold first, using their most recent costs. Understanding these methods is crucial for accurate financial reporting and inventory management.
FIFO (“First-In, First-Out”) assumes that the oldest products in a company's inventory have been sold first and goes by those production costs. The LIFO (“Last-In, First-Out”) method assumes that the most recent products in a company's inventory have been sold first and uses those costs instead.
First In, First Out (FIFO) is an accounting method in which assets purchased or acquired first are disposed of first. FIFO assumes that the remaining inventory consists of items purchased last. An alternative to FIFO, LIFO is an accounting method in which assets purchased or acquired last are disposed of first
