last-in, first-out (LIFO) method

last-in, first-out (LIFO) method
 метод ЛИФО; метод учета товарно-материальных запасов по последней партии (по последним закупкам); метод предполагает, что запасы используются, начиная с последних по времени закупок, следовательно, поступление запасов в производство/продажу оценивается по себестоимости последних закупок, а себестоимость запасов на конец периода определяется исходя из себестоимости первых закупок; в условиях роста цен и увеличения уровня запасов дает относительно заниженную величину прибыли, поэтому в некоторых странах для целей налогообложения запрещен; в отличие от ФИФО обеспечивает увязку текущих расходов и доходов, позволяет сгладить влияние инфляции.
