    Cost of goods sold will be lower and ending inventory will be lower

    Cost of goods sold will be higher and ending inventory will be higher

    Cost of goods sold will be lower and ending inventory will be higher

    none of the above

    Last In First Out means that the last items purchased will be the first ones sold, so with falling prices LIFO will have a lower price and ending inventory will be the purchases with higher prices.

    First In First Out will have the opposite effect of LIFO.
