inventory profit

    0.04 sec.
inventory profit
Profit that results from the increase in value that assets undergo during the time they are held in inventory. Inventory profit, ordinarily due to general inflation, is not considered to be of high quality because it is incidental to the firm's main business. See also first-in, first-out (FIFO), last-in, first-out (LIFO).
