A. A only.B. B only.C. Both A and B.D. Neither A nor B.

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is "A. A only".

Explanation: First-in, first-out (FIFO) process costing first transfers out the costs in beginning inventory because the oldest units are the first to leave (First in - First out).

And it does not require an additional step in cost allocation to units transferred out and the final Work-in-Process inventory.
