Yanıt Açıklaması:

The First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method assumes that the earliest goods purchased arethe first to besold. Under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, the cost of goods sold is based on the oldest purchases – that is, the first units to come in are assumed to be the first units to go out of the warehouse (sold). FIFO costing is consistent with the physical movement of inventory (for most companies). That is, under the FIFO inventory costing method, companies sell their oldest inventory first.
