    From an accounting standpoint, LIFO is the way to go. From an actual raw goods standpoint, LIFO can have you end up scrapping material or goods because they've been in inventory too long to be used. If you care about the quality of your product, FIFO should always be the alternative.

    Coming to the main point, you said we can have $5 sitting on our books along with LIFO together with 100 ping pong balls and if the plastic price goes up to $2, not 0,05 as before = our books will look better. Is that right sir?

    In the world of banking system, where money is created out of thin air (thanks to central banks and also commercial banks with fractional reserves) which creates inflation, it would be normal to use LIFO in order to capture REAL profit (not nominal), therefore using the latest price. But I guess governments are not interested whether companies are in REALity profitable, they just want out money. The higher nominal profit, the higher collected taxes.
