问题如下：
LIFO reserve is most likely to increase when inventory unit:
选项：
A.costs are increasing.
B.costs are decreasing.
C.levels are decreasing.
解释：
A is correct.
LIFO reserve is the FIFO inventory value less the LIFO inventory value. In periods of rising inventory unit costs, the carrying amount of inventory under FIFO will always exceed the carrying amount of inventory under LIFO. The LIFO reserve may increase over time as a result of the increasing difference between the older costs used to value inventory under LIFO and the more recent costs used to value inventory under FIFO. When inventory unit levels are decreasing, the company will experience a LIFO liquidation, reducing the LIFO reserve.

加粗这句话没看懂。
- 啥叫 carrying amount？
- 单价增的情况下，为啥 FIFO 的就永远大于 LIFO 的呢？不是应该 COGS 大于 inv，LIFO>FIFO 么？
