FIFO(FIRST IN FIRST OUT METHOD)
Under this method the products purchased first are sold out first.sales take place in an orderwise.so the closing stock is valued at the latest prices.it is good inventory management system,the oldest goods should be sold first,while the most recently purchased items remain in inventory.
DATE PURCHASE SALES BALANCE
1 1700(3400*0.50)
3 3150(4500*0.70) 3150,1700
5 1700(3400*0.50)

7 184(300*0.61)(RETURN) 2100,184
17 1680(2100*0.80) 2100,184,1680
22 1400(2000*0.70)
30 100*0.70=70
300*0.61=184
2100*0.80=1680
ENDING INVENTORY=70+184+1680=$ 1934
COST OF GOODS SOLD=OPENING STOCK+PURCHASES-CLOSING STOCK
(1700+ 4150- 1934)=
COST OF GOODS SOLD=5850-1934=$ 3916
LIFO(LAST IN FIRST OUT METHOD)
Under this method,products purchased last are sold out first.it is the just reverse of FIFO method.so the closing stock is valued at the oldest prices.Hence the value of closing stock will be lower.so book profit is reduced.as a result,the tax liability is lower.
