9.7 Advantages and disadvantages of FIFO
- 2. © Michael Allison, Trinity Grammar School. Author’s permission required for external use
Remember that FIFO is just an assumption
– it’s probably not right in every instance
E.g. if 3 units were sold today, there’s very
little chance they were actually three
$200 units
It could have been any of the 3 units
depending on how they were stored, which
staff member it was that took it etc.
We just assume it was the first 3 units
that came in

then?
9.7 ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
OF FIFO

Advantages of FIFO:
It saves time and money sent calculating the exact cost of every sale
It simplifies the process of identifying the cost of sale so the owner and the firm
can worry about other matters to keep the firm in business
The cost of sales balances out as all stock is sold – the FIFO cost will match the
actual cost eventually anyway
It may not be possible and practical to identify the actual cost of stock sold, e.g.
a petrol station
FIFO will increase Net Profit in the short-term during times of rising stock prices

Dec 1: tanker delivers
1,000 litres of fuel
costing 72 cents per
litre
Dec 2: tanker delivers
1,000 litres of fuel
costing 68 cents per
litre
1,000 litres @ 72 cents
1,000 litres @ 68 cents
Dec 3: tanker delivers
600 litres of fuel costing
70 cents per litre
600 litres @ 70 cents
But in reality, each delivery of fuel does not sit
on top of each the next as it is a liquid. The fuel
mixes together and creates one pool.
2,600 litres of fuel
So when 1,300 litres of fuel are sold on Dec 4,
which litres are actually sold?
• 1,000 @ 72 cents?
• 1,000 @ 68 cents?
• 600 @ 70 cents?
Who knows? It’s too hard to
tell. So just apply FIFO
It may not be possible and practical to identify the actual cost of stock sold, e.g.
a petrol station

FIFO increases Net Profit in the short-term in times of rising prices because:
A firm adopting FIFO will sell the cheaper stock first – has a cost of sales
This results in a higher Net Profit
But in the end, once ALL stock is sold, then Net Profit will be the same

9.7 ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
OF FIFO
- 8. © Michael Allison, Trinity Grammar School. Author’s permission required for external use
Disadvantages of FIFO:
Inaccurate for each transaction – the actual cost of each transaction is not identified,
instead an assumption is made that FIFO
Inflexible in times of changing prices – if the firm buys in bulk to get a discount, under
FIFO the benefit from this will not flow through to profit until the older units are sold
Limits management decision-making – what if the firm doesn’t actually want to sell the
oldest stock today, FIFO still assumes it does
FIFO will decrease Net Profit in the short-term during times of falling stock
prices

9.7 ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
OF FIFO
- 11. © Michael Allison, Trinity Grammar School. Author’s permission required for external use
FIFO decreases Net Profit in the short-term in times of falling prices because:
A firm adopting FIFO will sell the more expensive stock first – has a cost of sales
This results in a lower Net Profit
But in the end, once ALL stock is sold, then Net Profit will be the same
