Which costing method gives the higher ending inventory?

Which method results in the higher cost of goods sold?

Results are below.

Explanation:

Under the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method, the cost of goods sold is calculated using the cost of the first units incorporated into inventory:

Units sold= 860

COGS= 290*5 + 400*6 + 170*7

COGS= $5,040

Ending inventory= 130*7= $910

Under the LIFO (last-in, first-out) method, the cost of goods sold is calculated using the cost of the last units incorporated into inventory:

COGS= 300*7 + 400*6 + 160*5

COGS= $5,300

Ending inventory= 130*5= $650

As the cost of the units increases in time, the FIFO method provides the higher ending inventory.
