“What’s the difference?”

Process costing – methods of stock valuation
1. QUANTITY STATEMENT FIFO: Opening work in process (units) kept separate from units started and completed in the current period. WAM: All units completed and transferred out are treated identically (opening WIP and units started and completed are combined in the output column).

2. PRODUCTION COST STATEMENT

FIFO: Only uses current period costs per equivalent unit.
WAM: All costs incurred (this period and prior period) are added together to find total costs for equivalent units produced. 3. ALLOCATION STATEMENT The position of the normal loss allocated to units completed and transferred differs. Note: Disclose opening costs separately under FIFO.
