[amp_mcq option1=”rising prices” option2=”falling prices” option3=”fluctuating prices” option4=”None of these” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is: A. rising prices.<\/p>\n
First in first out (FIFO) is a method of accounting for inventory that assumes that the first goods purchased are also the first goods sold. This means that the cost of goods sold is based on the cost of the oldest inventory items. FIFO is a conservative method of accounting, as it results in a lower cost of goods sold and a higher ending inventory balance. This can be beneficial in times of rising prices, as it results in a lower taxable income.<\/p>\n
The other options are incorrect because they do not describe the circumstances in which FIFO is most appropriate. Option B, falling prices, is not a good time to use FIFO because it would result in a higher cost of goods sold and a lower ending inventory balance. Option C, fluctuating prices, is also not a good time to use FIFO because it would result in an inconsistent cost of goods sold. Option D, none of these, is incorrect because FIFO is a method of accounting that is appropriate in certain circumstances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
