Exam 20: Fifo Method

The Dover Corporation uses the FIFO method in its process costing system.The following information relates to one month's activity in the Cooking Department of the company: There was $23,600 of conversion cost in the beginning work in process inventory.During the month,$327,000 in additional conversion cost was incurred. Required: a.Determine the equivalent units of production for conversion for the month. b.Determine the cost per equivalent unit of production for conversion for the month. c.Determine the total cost assigned to the ending work in process inventory. d.Determine the total cost transferred out during the month.

In the cost reconciliation report under the FIFO method,the costs accounted for equals the cost of units transferred out plus the costs added during the period.

All production costs have been steadily rising in the Donner Company for several periods.The company maintains large work in process inventories.Donner Company's cost per equivalent unit computed using the FIFO method would be:

The cost per equivalent unit under the FIFO method of process costing is equal to the cost added during the period divided by the equivalent units of production for the period.
