COMPARISION OF INVENTORY COSTING METHODS
If the cost of units and prices at which they are sold remains stable, all the four methods yield the
same results. But if prices change, the three methods usually yield different amounts for:
- Ending inventory
- Cost of merchandise sold
- Gross profit or net income
In periods of rising (increasing) prices: (or if there is inflationary trend):
FIFO yields – higher ending inventory
_ Lower cost of merchandise sold
_ Higher gross profit (net income)
LIFO yields _ Lower ending inventory
_ Higher cost of merchandise sold
_ Lower gross profit (net income)
 Weighted average yields the results between the two.
In periods of declining (decreasing) prices:
FIFO yields _ Lower ending inventory
_ Higher cost of merchandise sold
_ Lower gross profit or net income
LIFO yields_
yields_ higher ending inventory
_ Lower cost of merchandise sold
_ Higher gross profit or net income
 Weighted average- between the two
 FIFO: Results in higher net income and lower taxable income because it uses older,
cheaper inventory for COGS.
 LIFO: Results in lower net income and higher taxable income because it uses more
recent, higher-cost inventory for COGS
