(Appendix) Shrinkage in a Process Cost System with a Fifo Cost Flow Assumption. XXX Chemicals Company produces a single product in two departments, Distillation and Refining. Unrefined chemicals are mixed and then subjected to a heating process in the Distillation Department, after which the product is transferred to the Refining Department, where the liquid mixture is filtered and put in drums for storage and transport. Because of the heat applied to the product in both departments, some production shrinkage occurs, which is viewed as part of the normal production process by management and not measured.
