Template
Compare inventory valuation methods for {business} given the purchase and sale history in {inventory_data}. Work through: (1) Lay out the purchase lots chronologically with quantities and unit costs, and total units sold in the period. (2) Compute cost of goods sold and ending inventory under FIFO, showing which lots are consumed. (3) Repeat under weighted average cost, showing the average computation. (4) If the jurisdiction permits LIFO, compute it as well and note where it is disallowed (e.g., IFRS). (5) Compare the methods' effects on gross profit, taxes, and balance sheet inventory value under the current price trend — rising costs make FIFO show higher profit and higher tax. (6) Recommend a method considering tax posture, financial reporting goals, and consistency requirements, noting that changing methods has accounting and tax approval implications requiring professional guidance.
