Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The costing method that includes the work process inventory cost in the computation of unit cost is FIFO.
A
TRUE
B
FALSE
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -FALSE Explanation: The FIFO method of process costing assigns the cost of equivalent units worked on during the current period first to complete beginning inventory, next to start and complete new units, and finally to units in ending work-in-process inventory.

Detailed explanation-2: -FIFO stands for first in, first out, an easy-to-understand inventory valuation method that assumes that goods purchased or produced first are sold first. In theory, this means the oldest inventory gets shipped out to customers before newer inventory.

Detailed explanation-3: -Under the FIFO method, we will calculate equivalent units for 3 things: Units completed from beginning work in process, units started and completed this period and units remaining in ending work in process.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) method assumes that the last unit to arrive in inventory or more recent is sold first. The First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method assumes that the oldest unit of inventory is the sold first.
