Ah, the age-old battle of FIFO vs. LIFO. I wonder if they'll ever make a reality show out of it - 'Inventory Valuation Wars' or something.

Wait, so FIFO is like a first-class citizen in the inventory method family? Guess I better not use LIFO, or I'll be in the doghouse!

C is the obvious answer. FIFO approximates the physical flow of goods - that's like Inventory Accounting 101.

Hmm, I was confident it was D, but now I'm second-guessing myself. FIFO minimizing taxes? That doesn't sound right.

Eileen: Maybe it's not D, minimizing current-period income taxes. Let's reconsider.

I think the answer is A. FIFO doesn't value inventory at current replacement cost, that's more of a LIFO thing.

I agree, A is incorrect because FIFO values inventory close to historical cost.
