    lifo is last in first out. Fifo is first in first out.
    They're a way of calcultating costs.
    Say u buy 5 widgets at 5 dolalrs in month 1, don't sell any
    then u buy 10 widgets at 10 dollars in month 2
    then you sell 12 widgets. How much was the cogs?
    using last in first out, the 10 went first, so $100, then 2 more at 5$, so a total of $110.00
    using the first in first out, you sold all 5@ $5.00, or 25, then 7 @ 10, or 70 = total of $95.oo

    I'm not to sure what avco is about, still in my second accounting class.

    Avco is average cost of goods sold
    Total purchases divided by its units
