First-in, First-Out
Process-Costing Method
• Assigns the cost of the previous accounting period’s equivalent units
in beginning work-in-process inventory to the first units completed
and transferred out of the process
• Assigns the cost of equivalent units worked on during the current
period first to complete beginning inventory, next to stat and
complete new units, and lastly to units in ending work-in-process
inventory
• A distinctive feature of FIFO process-costing method is that work
done on beginning inventory is kept separate from work done in the
current period
