LIFO inventory valuation assumes the latest purchased inventory becomes part of the cost of goods sold, while the FIFO method assigns inventory items that were purchased first to the cost of goods sold. In an inflationary environment, the LIFO method will result in a higher cost of goods sold figure and one that more accurately matches the sales dollars recorded at current dollars.
