Answer:

B. LIFO.

Explanation:

As the costs are declining the company should LIFO inventory method that would maximize the gross profit. When prices are increasing FIFO is usd to maximize the gross profit. But as they are decreasing the reverse would give the desired values.

In case the prices are increasing

FIFO assigns the lowest amount to cost of goods sold yielding the highest gross profit

LIFO assigns the highest amount cost of goods sold yielding the lowest gross profit and net income, which also yields a temporary tax advantage by postponing payment of some income tax

So we use LIFO to maximize the profit in case of decreasing costs.

Explanation:

Here are the options to this question :

A. your friend most likely should not be quite so excited because the extremely high cost of living in New York City means his real salary increase will be less than he imagined.

B. your friend has no reason to be excited because higher pay implies more job responsibilities and more working hours.

C. your friend has every reason to be excited because he will be getting paid 120% of what he used to be paid.

D. your friend has reason to be excited because in a bigger city he will have more things to do and his higher salary will allow him to spend on those activities.

Cost of living in a big town is higher than living in a small town. Even though the nominal income of my friend has increased, the real income might not have increased due to the high cost of living in a big city.

Nominal income is the money income being earned. My friend's nominal income would increase from $50,000 to $60,000 if he takes the new job.

Real income is the purchasing power of income
