Answer is : 4. Accurate reporting.

FIFO ensures that the ending inventory values on the balance sheet are indicative of current market prices for the items. As items purchased at earlier dates are pulled from inventory for production or retail sale, the inventory on the books at the end of the month consists of more recently purchased inventory. This ensures that the ending inventory on the balance sheet is reflective of current market prices.
