Expert Solution
Step 1

LIFO means last in first out where as FIFO means first in first out.

Inventory and cost of goods sold can be value on the basis of FIFO or LIFO basis.

In LIFO , cost of goods sold is valued at latest price and closing inventory at oldest price.

In FIFO , cost of goods sold is valued at oldest price and closing inventory at latest price.

In weighted average , an average price is calculated by taking quantity as weight and cost of goods sold and closing inventory is valued at that price.
