The correct answer is FIFO.

Explanation:

The first in, first out (FIFO) is method of inventory valuation in which the first goods purchased are also the first goods sold. Valuation of closing stock and issuance is done based on this assumption.

Under the FIFO method, the earliest goods purchased are the first ones removed from the inventory account. Based on this characteristic of FIFO valuation method the amount of cost of good sold under both inventory system will be same.
