Same!
Great presentation, so much better than my professor who apparently has 20 years of accounting experience.

Same experience here. My old accounting professor with 35 years of experience, with his mumbled presentations, has not matched the clarity of Andrew in the video.

Being an accountant and being a teacher are two different things. He can be a great accountant, and a terrible teacher/presenter.

First hearing him, I thought I had been wrong all along. But maybe most people say LIE-fo and FIE-fo.

That's so weird, cuz I've heard a lot of people pronounce it like him. I do to!😂😂
My accounting professor kept getting mixed up between them, he wasn't even sure he got it right at the end of the lesson. Thank you for clearing it up
You literally made me pass my accounting final. Thank you!
THIS HELPED SO MUCH!!!!! I'm from LSU and my accounting teacher doesn't help us at all on this stuff so THANK YOU!!!

Well.... you went to LSU..
Two hours my professor spent trying to explain this one topic and most of the class was visibly confused very badly, You made it very easy to understand in under 10min please be our teacher :(
Wow! I have struggled trying to calculate FIFO and LIFO but you talk to me like I'm 6 in a language I can understand thank you!!!!
Very easy to understand, thanks.
Your videos are simply clear and easy to understand. you are an amazing teacher. Thank you .
Wow, thank! I had to watch it about 3x to fully understand but i think im goos now. Great presentation and your example really helped too!
This is where I should have started. I used to like class formats where you do the HW before the lecture, but I take that back 1000%.
Thanks for the simple explanation. This video was extremely helpful.
Accounting classes have a way of making this simple concept seem really complex. Thank God KZread exists, I’d be screwed with out it
Best video I could find on the subject. Make more please. Maybe a few more seconds of intro. Don't worry about the pronunciation. H8rs can suck it.
you really simplified this concept my friend . thanks a lot.
Thanks for this. You helped me understand LIFO & FIFO much better
Thanks man now I'm gonna pass on my exam 3 hours from now thanks to your 4 year old video xD
You don't understand, this was PERFECT, can you just teach my accounting 1 and 2 please looool :D
this is by far the best explanation video on the topic I have seen

Excellent presentation! Very helpful!
Thank you for this video! It helped me a lot!
In this video I explain FIFO, LIFO and average cost methods to value the stocks stored by a company, to estimate the cost of goods sold and to determine the commercial result (profit or loss) of the firm: kzread.info/dash/bejne/n4OBk66qodzKn9Y.html.
Really?It's that easy? My professor spend 2 hours in class trying to explain it and we did not understand it.
your example is way to easy for understanding, thank you.
Thanks boss for your crystal clear explanation! Cheers!

Outstanding. I agree, so much better than my professor who is retiring with over 20 years of accounting experience.
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.
Thanks for clarifying it to me, I was here struggling to understand it.
Thank you thank you
Thank you sir
LIFO doesn't seem counterintuitive. It is counterintuitive! Lol Thanks for the video
Why don't we have this kind of teachers
This was a very professional and potent delivery of high-quality information. Well done my good sir.
☠️OA class was here period poo🥢🧃🧃
I love you haha this has helped so much
thank u sir
ok where I am getting confused is how you coming up with the number for sold. I still need help. You make since but I still am getting lost somewhere
The best..where can I find more of these with the same guy plz?
Wonderful video! At 6:13 you circled $80 when you meant to circle $20
it looks good and easy
teriffic video! good stuff.
tks!!!!
good one
That part you explained ...that companies will have 5 dollars worth of inventory in the books while the actual worth is 200 ......that is the most important part...
I carry the same tune that dominates much of the comment section. Your explanation was superior to that of my useless professor.
ur awesome
Great video 👍🏿

Where can I go to watch the weighted-average method?
f###king helped me a lot bro! I own u one
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?
Thank you but i didnt understand the part where you sell 200 @ $0.50? from where this 0.50 came from ?
@RehanAli-ld2bb
7 жыл бұрын
spouse they sell 200 unit for $0.50 for making brofit .......then 200*0.50=100 and without profit acording FIFO he receive $20 and after profit he receive 100$ then minus your purchase 20$....now he have 80$ profit
8::34 LIFO is MORE hoops to jump through if you are using LIFO accounting method and it's the international standard ? Did you mean to say that?

Yea he twisted his words
Wow
Hey yo, why does the price of the plastic keep increasing relatively, can somebody explain that?
doesn't $0.05 mean 5 cents not 5 dollars? Or is is different in accounting
hold up where does he get the 80$ and 65$ from?
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.
Really good presentation, but you should turn down the intro its to loud compared to your voice
people here talking about passing accounting courses. im just here struggling with the tax man
CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TF DOES 30 PLUS 30 UNITS EQUAL 40??
Never heard it as and FEEFO LEAFO
I have some examples that I can't solve them
nice now imma fifo my dog
