| stranger | LIFO Reserve = difference between Inv @ LIFO and Inv @ FIFO |
| kalps | LIFo inventory is the difference between the inventory under LIFO and the inventory under FIFO |
| Shelton | R(LIFO) = Ivt(FIFO) - Ivt(LIFO) |
| Indira | to Shelton: vice versa: LIFO Reserve = Inventory at LIFO - Inventory at FIFO |
| bahodir | Indira, Shelton is right: FIFO Inventory = LIFO Inventory + LIFO Reserve So, LIFO Reserve = FIFO Inventory - LIFO Inventory |
I am happy to say that I passed! Your study notes certainly helped prepare me for what was the most difficult exam I had ever taken.
