Inventory

Goods held for sale in the ordinary course of business, valued using FIFO, LIFO, weighted average, or specific identification.

LIFO firms disclose a LIFO reserve — the difference between LIFO and FIFO inventory values. Adding the LIFO reserve to LIFO inventory converts the balance sheet to a FIFO basis for comparability with IFRS reporters.
