Assume that a firm separately determined inventory under FIFO and LIFO and then compared the results. In each space that follows, place the correct sign [less than (<), greater than (>), or equal ] for each comparison, assuming periods of rising prices. 1. FIFO inventory ____________ LIFO inventory 2. FIFO cost of goods sold ____________ LIFO cost of goods sold 3. FIFO net income ____________ LIFO net income 4. FIFO income taxes ____________ LIFO income taxes  Why would management prefer to use LIFO over FIFO in periods of rising prices?

Applying the lower-of-cost-or-market approach, what is the correct value that should be reported on the balance sheet for the inventory?
