Under this method, which meterial purchased first, issued first for production. However closing inventory includes last purchased materials in stock. Due to latest purchase in closing inventory, higher value of latest purchase effects cost of goods sold as lower and profit margin will be high.
| Closing inventory | Cost of Goods sold | |
(b)
