FIFO Method of Process Costing

Home » CMA Glossary Term » Cost Accounting » FIFO Method of Process Costing

The FIFO Method of Process Costing, or “fifo method definition,” is a cost accounting technique that assigns costs to products based on the chronological order of production. Under this method, the earliest costs incurred are the first to be allocated to finished goods, ensuring that older inventory costs are recognized before newer ones. This approach provides a systematic way to track production costs and inventory valuation.
