Comprehensive Process Costing: FIFO Method
The Maxma Beverage Corporation manufactures flavored bottled water and uses process costing to account for the cost of the products manufactured. Raw material and conversion costs are incurred at the same rate during the production process. Data for the company's mixing department for March are as follows:
Units | Production Cost | |
---|---|---|
Work In Process, March 1 (80% Complete) | 5000 | $6000 |
Started During March | 100,000 | $1,187,500 |
Work In Process, March 31 (40% Complete) | 10,000 |
Maxma uses the first-in, first-out method to calculate equivalent units.
