Question

Adam’s Apple Company makes homemade applesauce using Grandma Adam’s special recipe.   The company uses a FIFO process cost system.   The process starts in the Kettle Room where apples are cored, cut and added to the Kettles along with Grandma’s special spices.   After several hours of slow simmering, the sauce is cooled as it moves to the Canning department where the sauce is poured into jars and sealed.    After the jars are sealed they move to the packing department where they are placed into boxes and moved to finished goods where they are ready for sale.    During the month of March the company sold 5,000 boxes of sauce with each box holding a dozen jars. A jar of sauce sells for $4.00.

Create the WIPs for each department indicating the Cost of each jar as it moves through the process.
