If QP Corp. had been experiencing declining costs in the acquisition of
inventory, we would observe the opposite results in our comparisons.

Advantages
LIFO: Given the cost trends in the problem, the advantage of using LIFO is
that the lower net income will result in a lower tax obligation (tax deferral).
Disadvantages
LIFO: Given the cost trends in the problem, the disadvantage of using LIFO
is that the inventory figure, which is also reported on the balance sheet,
