Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Under which inventory cost flow assumption is the cost of the most recent purchases likely to remain in inventory? Right! Under FIFO the first or oldest costs come out of inventory first, leaving the most recent costs in inventory.

Detailed explanation-2: -Under FIFO, it is assumed that the cost of inventory purchased first will be recognized first. The dollar value of total inventory decreases in this process because inventory has been removed from the company’s ownership.

Detailed explanation-3: -LAST-IN, FIRST-OUT (LIFO). LIFOInventory cost flow assumption based on the most recent costs being transferred first from inventory to cost of goods sold so that the oldest costs remain in ending inventory. is the opposite of FIFO: the most recent costs are moved to expense as sales are made.
