LIFO versus FIFO

LO8–4, LO8–5 Required: Prepare a report for the president describing the factors that should be considered by Tangier in
choosing between LIFO and FIFO.
An accounting intern for a local CPA firm was reviewing the financial statements of a client in the
electronics
industry. The intern noticed that the client used the FIFO method of determining ending inventory
and cost of
goods sold. When she asked a colleague why the firm used FIFO instead of LIFO, she was told that
the client used
FIFO to minimize its income tax liability. This response puzzled the intern because she thought that
LIFO would
minimize income tax liability.
Required: What would you tell the intern to resolve the confusion?
