Detailed explanation-1: -The first-in-first-out (FIFO) method keeps beginning inventory costs separate from current period costs and assumes that beginning inventory units are completed and transferred out before the units started during the current period are completed and transferred out.

Detailed explanation-2: -Costs of units started and completed: you will take the equivalent units calculated for units started and completed x the cost per equivalent unit for materials, labor and overhead (or conversion). The sum of these 3 will be the cost of units completed and transferred which is also known as cost of goods manufactured.

Detailed explanation-3: -(T or F) Using FIFO costing, equivalent units of production (EUP) can be determined by subtracting EUP’s in Beginning Work in Process from weighted average EUP.

Detailed explanation-4: -Under the FIFO method of process costing, costs are transferred to next department and ultimately to finished goods in the order in which they entered the current department i.e. costs entering first are transferred first and hence the name FIFO–first-in-first-out.
