The eight variables are price variability, inventory variability,
accounting income variability, absolute firm size, relative firm size, capital intensity, inventory intensity and industry
classification. The univariate analysis shows that the size variable is a very significant factor for the LIFO
choice, but the size is also significantly related with other determinants such as capital intensity which are also
significantly related to LIFO choice. Hence, the conclusion about the significance of size would be spurious.
However, the analysis shows that inventory variability is independently significant for LIFO choice implying the
significance to keep end inventory level constant.
