Step-by-step explanation:

LIFO stands for “Last-In, First-Out”. It is a method used for cost flow assumption purposes in the cost of goods sold calculation. The LIFO method assumes that the most recent products added to a company's inventory have been sold first. The costs paid for those recent products are the ones used in the calculation.
