FIFO method would result in higher net income [As COGS is comparatively lower]
FIFO method would result in inventories approximating current cost in the statement of financial position [as old inventories are sold only current inventories remain]
Weighted average cost method would result in marigold paying lower taxes in the first year [Cost of goods sold is higher and hence lower profit]
