This case shows that the current market price is higher than the previous price rather the tax will be increased but the net profit according to FIFO method, the lower value counted of the current stock doesn't affect the market position and expense cost on the stock belower and profit will be higher. As the current stock is valued at recent most prices, the current assets of the company have the latest assessed values.
