LIFO Reserve

Can you please explain the concept of LIFO Reserve? And what is the use of LIFO Reserve? Is there something called FIFO Reserve also? Thanks!

The difference between FIFO inventory and LIFO inventory. The figure indicates how much a company’s taxable income has been reduced by using the LIFO accounting method rather than the FIFO accounting method. As prices for goods and materials rise, the LIFO reserve will also rise.
