Exam 20: Fifo Method

The equivalent units in the ending work in process inventory will be different under the FIFO and the weighted-average methods of process costing.

In the cost reconciliation report under the FIFO method,the costs to be accounted for equals the cost of ending work in process inventory plus the costs added during the period.

The following data have been provided by Corby Corporation for the Circuit Prep Department.The company uses the FIFO method in its process costing. Required: Determine the equivalent units of production for the Circuit Prep Department for August using the FIFO method.

The cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs will always be the same under both the FIFO and the weighted-average methods if there is no beginning work in process inventory.

(Appendix 4A) Sumptuous Beer Corporation manufactures beer in two departments, Fermenting and Bottling. In the Fermenting Department, ingredients are placed in a large vat and fermented for three days. The beer is then transferred over to Bottling where it is further purified and bottled. Sumptuous uses a FIFO process cost system to collect costs in both departments. On May 1, the Fermenting Department had 32,000 gallons (units) in process. These gallons were 100% complete with respect to materials (ingredients) and 80% complete with respect to conversion cost. During May, Fermenting started an additional 460,000 gallons into production. On May 31, Fermenting had 18,000 gallons in work in process.
