(Appendix 6A) First-In, First-Out Method
Refer to Problem 6-67.
Required:
Prepare a production report for the mixing and encapsulating departments using the FIFO method. (Note: Round the unit cost to four decimal places.) (Hint: For the second department, you must convert gallons to capsules.)
Make production report of Company BP by applying FIFO method.
Explanation of Solution
Production Report:
The document comprises all the activities of process department related to manufacturing which occurs; in a particular period of time is called production report. It helps to identify the efficiency of process department.

Therefore, cost per equivalent unit, equivalent units and total cost are $0.1136, 628,400 capsules and $24,041 respectively.
Notes:
1. Use this formula to calculate cost per equivalent unit:
2. In table to calculate cost of unit started and completed multiply the unit started and completed and unit cost as shown in table.
3. In table to calculate cost of goods in EWIP, multiply units in EWIP and unit cost as shown in table.

The Mixing Department combines the direct materials of paraffin wax and pigments. The heated mixture is pumped to the Molding Department, where it is poured into molds. After the molds cool, the crayons are removed from the molds and are transferred to the Packaging Department, where paper wrappers are added and the crayons are boxed. In the Mixing Department, the direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and the conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the process.
