@JoshKrier 9 лет назад

My friend, I have to say I have dug though a ton of RU-vid videos regarding the FIFO Inventory Method and never have I ever been able to fully understand how this works watching the video just one time. You've been able to display this information in such a way that I only needed to watch it one time! So with that being said, thank you good sir! Keep doing what your doing! Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Job!!!

@Waters652 5 лет назад

@Angelskris333 4 года назад

I had to leave a comment but omg this has saved me!! For the past two weeks on my studies I've been doing elements of costing and now I'm on the inventory topic which I think with a proper understanding it is rather simple if you know!

@Edspira 8 лет назад

+Merve Merve Regarding the difference between period and perpetual FIFO: with FIFO, the end result is the same whether you use the periodic or perpetual method (the journal entries are slightly different, however, because you use a "Purchases" account with the periodic method and don't actually update the inventory account until the end of the period). With LIFO, however, the end result for inventory could be different based on whether you used periodic or perpetual. In times of rising prices, perpetual LIFO will result in lower cost of goods sold (and therefore higher net income) than periodic LIFO. This is because with the periodic method you wait until the end of the period to update the inventory account, and if prices have been rising then the most recent purchase will be the highest per unit price (which increases cost of goods sold more). Hope this helps!

@laylaglobal80 7 лет назад
