Answer 1

Answer: (C) Usually provides a better match of expenses with revenue

Explanation:

 The LIFO stand for the last in and first out and it is the cost flow that basically provide the good match of the expenses along with the revenue.

LIFO basically matched the current lost with the current revenue so that is why it is assumption that the LIFO measure better the income. It basically used to place various accounting value in the inventory.
