LAST IN, FIRST OUT - LIFO
An accounting technique of asset-management and valuation where the last unit acquired or produced are the ones to be recorded as sold, used, or disposed first. The LIFO accounting presumes a company disposes, sells, or uses its latest inventory first. This reduces a firm’s inflation risk and can be tax advantageous but it increases its tax liability. Americans used this accounting technique since 1970s.
