3. SEE CORRECT ANSWER
LIFO (Last In, First Out) is based on the principle that the last inventory goods received will be the first inventory goods sold. In periods of rising prices, LIFO will result in the lowest ending inventory, the highest cost of goods sold, and the lowest net income. Ending inventory is smaller because the newest and highest prices are sold first, leaving the oldest and cheapest inventory on the books.
Cost of goods sold is high because the newest and most expensive inventory is sold first. Net income is the lowest because revenues are matched with the highest inventory costs. LIFO eliminates holding gains because we are selling inventory with the newest cost.
