Document Summary

Cost flow assumptions- assumptions about which units were sold: fifo-first in first out, lifo-last in first out, average cost. There is no accounting requirement that the cost flow assumption be consistent with the physical movement of goods (beginning inventory + purchases) ending inventory = cost of goods sold. No matter which cost flow assumption we use, the sum of cost of goods sold + ending inventory must equal the cost of goods available for sale. Fifo: earliest goods purchased = first goods to be recognized sold, the cost of earliest goods purchased are the first to be recognized in determining cost of goods sold regardless of which units were actually sold. Compute ending inventory cost of goods sold cost of goods available for sale: cost of goods available for sale = beginning inventory + In periods of inflation fifo produces a higher net income because lower unit costs of the first units purchased are matched against revenue.
