Inventory Valuation Methods and Ethical Considerations

FIFO, LIFO, and weighted average methods each have their own implications during periods of inflation and deflation. ASSSUME the role of a manager, employee, or an investor, and in 1–2 pages analyze the GAAP and ethical implications of each reporting method in a hypothetical company.
