    True

    Explanation:

    Using FIFO,

    Under First in First out method, items that were purchased first will be availed for sale first. In this case, the opening stock of 5 at $10 items will be sold first. An additional 7 units will be required from the next batch of purchases at $11.

    The costs of the first 12 units will be

    = (5 x 10) + (7 x 11)

    =50 + 77

    =$127

    With LIFO, the items acquired last will be sold first. In this case, the 12 items sold will come the batch of 15 purchased at $11 in the months

    Using LIFO, the cost of goods available for sale.

    =12 X $11

    =132

    The difference is the costs of goods available for sale is $ 5, with FIFO having a lower cost. It means FIFO profits will be $5 more.
