2. The difference between FIFO and LIFO is FIFO refers to the practice of firms, when making sales, assuming that the inventory that came in last (at a higher price) is being sold first. LIFO implies that a firm is selling the lower cost, older inventory first, leaving the higher cost, newer inventory on the balance sheet.
