when using FIFO costing during inflationary time period, will the cost of goods be higher or lower than when using LILO and how would it affect net income? Higher or lower?
Answer
--Under FIFO costing method of valuing inventory, the ending inventory is valued at the latest purchase price AND the Cost of Goods Sold is calculated based on earliest purchases.
--Hence, during inflationary time period, the Cost of Goods Sold WOULD BE LOWER.
--This would result in LOWER Cost of Goods Sold and HIGHER value of ending inventory.
--Lower Cost of Goods Sold (Expense) and Higher ending inventory WILL lead to HIGHER GROSS PROFITS.
--Higher Gross Profits = Higher Net Income.
