FIFO - First In – First Out
FIFO assumes that the first unit on inventory is the first one sold. For instance you produce 50 units on Monday, your production cost is $10 per unit, you produce 40 units on Tuesday, your production cost is $11 per unit. You sell 40 units on Wednesday. Based on the FIFO method your COGS will be $10 per unit, as this was the cost of the first unit taken to inventory.
5
LIFO - Last In – First Out
LIFO assumes that the last unit on inventory is the first one sold. For instance you produce 50 units on Monday, your production cost is $10 per unit, you produce 40 units on Tuesday, your production cost is $11 per unit. You sell 40 units on Wednesday. Based on the LIFO method your COGS will be $11 per unit, as this was the cost of the last unit taken to inventory.

Average Cost Method Weighted Average during accounting period $11.75 = $ / 4000 units = $11.75 / unit
7
Comparison Example How inventory valuation methods affect the financial analysis of the company?
8
Comparison Example We have the following Income Statement Based on the inventory purchases. Note: expenses are given in this exercise
9
Comparison Example Total inventory purchase = $ – from inventory table Different valuation methods calculate ending inventory value for the 1000 units. (see next slide) COGS = Beginning Inventory + Net Purchases - Ending Inventory. Net Income = Sales – COGS - Expense
10
Comparison Example Calculating Ending Inventory: FIFO = $8 x 1000 units = $8 000 LIFO = $16 x 1000 units = $16 000 Average = ($8x1000+ $10x1000 +$13x1000+ $16x1000)/4000 units = $11.75
