This document outlines the process for calculating costs using average and FIFO costing methods in a manufacturing environment. It discusses: 1) Tracking units started, completed, transferred in/out, and remaining in work in process. 2) Calculating equivalent units of production using percentage complete or FIFO assumptions. 3) Accounting for total costs including direct materials, conversion costs, and beginning inventory. 4) Determining a cost per equivalent unit. 5) Ensuring total costs accounted for equal the starting costs plus any additional costs incurred.
