While I’ve studied it before, still getting kind of stumped in questions..how does FIFO give lower value of closing inventory with falling prices and higher value with rising prices? Thanks!

With FIFO the inventory at the closing inventory is always the most recently purchased items.
If prices are falling then the most recent purchases will have cost less, whereas with rising prices the most recent purchases will have cost more.
