FIFO

"First In, First Out," an inventory valuation method that assumes the first items placed in inventory are the first sold.

LIFO

Last In, First Out, an inventory valuation method where the latest items added to inventory are the first to be sold.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) refers to the direct costs attributable to the production of the goods sold in a company.
