Abstract: | Historical costs distort financial statements. The authors recommend a procedure called FIFO/LIFO to minimize that distortion by combining the best attributes of FIFO and of LIFO. Because both are based on historical costs and both are widely used, FIFO/LIFO is capable of being implemented readily. Benefits from improved financial reporting and more credible financial statements should outweigh additional costs. |
