methods?
a. If
inventory quantities are to be maintained, part of the earnings must be
invested (plowed back) in inventories when FIFO is used during a period of
rising prices.
b. LIFO
tends to smooth out the net income pattern, since it matches current cost of
goods sold with current revenue, when inventories remain at constant
quantities.

a firm using the LIFO method fails to maintain its usual inventory position
(reduces stock on hand below customary levels), there may be a matching of old
costs with current revenue.
d. The
use of FIFO permits some control by management over the amount of net income
for a period through controlled purchases, which is not true with LIFO.
