Tatum Andersen · Answer 1

Correct

Explanation:

The most distinctive feature between FIFO and weighted average is that when determining process costs, the weighted average method includes opening Work-in-progress in its determination BUT contrariwise FIFO does not.

The reason for the above is simple, according to its name First-in-first-out, it concludes that the beginning inventory must have been the first to be used in the production process.
