Summary
FIFO and LIFO are two methods of accounting for inventory. Students get practice questions on these and other methods of inventory costing and management.
LIFO and FIFO
LIFO and FIFO are two ways to account for inventory. LIFO assumes the newest items are sold first. FIFO assumes the oldest items are sold first.
Inventory management terms
Inventory turnover measures how often inventory is sold. Days in inventory shows how long inventory is held. Consigned goods are held by one party but owned by another.
Costing methods
Specific identification and average cost methods are other ways to account for inventory. The lower-of-cost-or-market rule states inventory at the lower of cost or market value.
Freight terms
FOB shipping point and FOB destination are terms for when ownership of goods passes to the buyer. They affect inventory costing and management.
