Question

The LIFO cost flow assumption results in the most (distant/recent) costs being transferred to cost of goods sold. In times of rising prices, the costs transferred to cost of goods sold under LIFO will therefore be (higher/lower) than the costs transferred to cost of goods sold under FIFO.

Answer 1

• RECENT
• HIGHER

Step-by-step explanation:

Last-in, first-out (LIFO) means that the most recent costs are going to be used to determine the cost of goods sold. The LIFO method is very useful when the prices of your inputs or merchandise are continuously rising, for example if inflation rate increased. LIFO method is better for determining replacement costs when prices are increasing.
