  • This video explains the difference between the FIFO Method and the Weight-average Method for calculating cost per equivalent unit. A comprehensive example is presented to illustrate how the weighted-average method includes costs that were incurred in the prior period and thus results in a different cost per equivalent unit than the FIFO Method.

    You’re so amazing at explaining! My teacher makes everything so complicated and doesn’t know how to deliver the ideas! I honestly don’t get anything she says in the class, but I was the only one who got full mark and that was because of your videos. Even my teacher asked me how I got it so I told her about your videos and she seemed a bit offended lol! Can’t thank you enough! Much love & respect from Saudi Arabia.

    For an weighted-average problem in my book the answer says that Work In Progress (opening) has to be deducted from the total accounted for, but it doesn't show that in this video so I'm confused.

    Is the value of closing WIP going to be the cost per equivalent unit multiplied by the closing number of units in each process at year end or multiplied by the percentage of completed units at year end (ie: the number we used in the EU calc)?

  • @karaboanswer9518
    @karaboanswer9518 3 роки тому

    So when calculating the WIP at the end we use the percentage as it is, we don't subtract it from a 100 just like what we did at the beginning?

    Why you take the incomplete percent with the beginning WIP and at the ending WIP the complete percentage? Because FIFO wants to account only cost for this period or why?

    Why do you use 35% to calculate DM EUs? Isn't DM always considered 100% complete since the cost of material has already been incurred?

    • @itsSeabass
      @itsSeabass 8 років тому

      *65%

    • @thecoolestshoop2494
      @thecoolestshoop2494 8 років тому +1

      well that's if you assume that all materials are added at the beginning of the period, usually that is to be assumed if the problem is silent. In this case however he stated that DM is only 35% complete so he uses 35%

    • @thekid4192
      @thekid4192 6 років тому

      He actually used 65% for the FIFO method because that is what you is TO BE (or 35% not TO BE (Already Completed))
