Respuesta :

Answer:

FIFO method of inventory valuation produced the lowest of goods sold at $2000

Explanation:

The implication of FIFO producing the lowest costs of good sold is that profit under FIFO method will be much higher since a lower costs of good sold is deducted from sales revenue to arrive at gross profit for the period

In addition, higher gross profit is also a pointer to higher net income and higher tax expense overall.

In order to manage tax exposure effectively,the LIFO method of valuation would be the best  option as it has the highest costs of good sold,hence lower profit figure and lower tax liability
