FIFO method, equivalent units

FIFO method, equivalent units. Refer to the information in Exercise 17-19. Suppose the Assembly Division at Fenton Watches, Inc., uses the FIFD method of process costing instead of the weighted-average method. Compute equivalent units for direct materials and conversion costs. Show physical units in the first column of your schedule.

Expert Solution

FIFO method, equivalent units.

Under the FIFO method, equivalent units are calculated as the equivalent units of work done in the current period only. Solution Exhibit 17-21 shows equivalent units of work done in May 2009 in the Assembly Division of Fenton Watches, Inc., for direct materials and conversion costs.

SOLUTION EXHIBIT 17-21

Steps 1 and 2: Summarize Output in Physical Units and Compute Output in Equivalent Units;

FIFO Method of Process Costing, Assembly Division of Fenton Watches, Inc., for May 2009.

·Degree of completion in this department: direct materials, 90%; conversion costs, 40%.

†460 physical units completed and transferred out minus 80 physical units completed and transferred out from beginning work-in-process inventory.

*Degree of completion in this department: direct materials, 60%; conversion costs, 30%.
