Question : 51) Process-costing FIFO usually applied to both the units entering : 1217019

 

51) Process-costing FIFO is usually applied to both the units entering a department and the units leaving a department.

52) The weighted average 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.

 

53) A major advantage of the weighted-average process costing is that it provides managers with information about changes in the costs per unit from one period to the next.
