8.6 Valuing opening in progress: FIFO & Weighted average cost method
Accounting for the changes in the level of WIP
The FIFO method
This method distinguish between units completed in the period that from the opening work in progress and those new items started and completed in the period.
Procedure:
1. Equivalent units:
Total equivalent units consist of
● The completion of opening WIP
● Units started and completed in the period
● The work done on closing WIP
2. Costs to be accounted for
Current cost added
3. Costs per equivalent units
4. Cost of finished gproduction
● Cost from opening WIP (value at the beginning of the period add conversion cost added in this period)
● Cost of the finished goods which started and completed in this period
● Value of closing WIP
5. Complete the process account
Example 9
Opening inventory 500 units. Degree with completion: 60%
Cost to date: $2800
Cost incurred: Direct materials ( 2500 units introduced) $13,200
Direct labour $6600
Production overhead $6600
Closing inventory 300 units: degree with completion: 80%
There was no loss in the process.
