  2. A change from FIFO to weighted-average inventory valuation when costs are falling.
  3. A change from accelerated to straight-line depreciation in the later years of the depreciable lives of the assets.

FIFO includes the higher, early in cost of goods sold, whereas the weighted-average method averages the later, lower costs with the higher, earlier costs. Thus, a change from FIFO to weighted-average costing reduces cost of goods sold and into !:3ses reported profit. An entity had the following account balances in the pre-closing trial balance:
