Quizplus · Accepted Answer

LIFO assumes that the most recent inventory purchases are sold first, which means the cost of goods sold will be based on the higher-priced inventory items. In a period of rising prices, LIFO will result in a lower cost-to-retail ratio compared to FIFO or average cost. The lower of average cost or market is not related to the choice between LIFO and other inventory methods.
