LIFO uses the last unit costs for Cost of Goods Sold on the income statement and the first unit costs for Inventory on the balance sheet.
<h3>What is LIFO?</h3>
LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.
For example, if beginning inventory consists of 10 units at $10 per unit. In the middle of the month, 10 units were bought at $15 per unit. At the end of the month, 10 units were sold. Using LIFO, the cost of goods sold would be $150 ( 10 x 15). Ending inventory would be $100 ($10 x 10).

Answer:
No, because the second method has lower total costs of production.
Explanation:
In a bid to make profits businesses must always compare different processes and choose the cheapest one.
This will eventually reflect in the profitability of the business.
In this instance let's get the cost of each process.
Fabric costs $110 a bolt and labor costs $20 an hour.
The first dress maker can sew 400 garments with 100 bolts of fabric and 1,500 hours of labour
Total cost = (100 bolts * 110) + (1500 * 20)
Total cost = $41,000
For the second dress maker he can sew 400 garments with 150 bolts of fabric and 1,000 hours of identical labour
Total cost = (150 *110) + (1000 * 20)
Total cost = $36,500
As can be seen the second dressmaker has a lower cost of production so he is more efficient than the first dress maker
