Since the 1970s, some U.S. companies shifted towards the use of LIFO,
which reduces their income taxes in times ofinflation, but since IFRS
banned LIFO, more companies returned to FIFO.
Example
FIFO
As can be seen from above, the inventory cost under FIFO method relates to
the cost of the latest purchases.
LIFO
AVCO
AVCO method allocates cost on the average cost of purchases during the
period. Average cost of inventory changes every time a purchase is made at a
different price.
