Dollar-value LIFO layering: liquidation order · case 03

A decline in inventory strips the base-year layer, leaving recent high-priced layers intact.

Case contract

Input {layers:[[year, base_dollars, index_bp]] oldest first, year, ending_current_cost, index (bp, 10000 = base year)}. Ending base dollars = round-half-up(current cost*10000/index). An increase over the prior base total adds one layer at the current index; a decrease strips base dollars from the newest layers first, removing layers that reach zero. LIFO value = sum of round-half-up(base*index/10000) per layer. Return {end_base, layers, lifo_value}.

Why this case matters

Inventory valuation and cost-of-goods decisions depend on this rule.
