Expert Solution
Step 1

FIFO:  Under this method, the inventory that is bought first is to be sold first. Thus the ending inventory will have the latest bought goods.

LIFO: In last in last out method, the goods which are bought latest are to be sold first. Ending inventory would have the earlier purchased goods.
