Which inventory cost flow method is generally forbidden in hyper-inflationary economies?


First-In, First-Out (FIFO) Method

Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) Method

Average Cost Method

Specific Identification Method

Consistency Principle


Yanıt Açıklaması:

Last-in, First-out (LIFO) is just the opposite of FIFO. Under the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, ending inventory comes from the oldest costs (beginning inventory and earliest purchases) of the period. The cost of goods sold is based on the most recent purchases (new costs) –that is, the last units in are assumed to be the first units out of the warehouse (sold). This method is forbidden for being misleading especially in hyper-inflationary economies. The correct answer is B.
