    Study Notes

    Manufacturing Accounts

    • Manufacturing businesses: Produce or manufacture goods.

    • Manufacturing account: Internal financial statement; shows factory running costs to produce a final product. Calculates production costs of manufactured goods at the end of a financial period. Only includes factory and production processes; other costs (administration, finance, distribution) recorded in the Statement of Profit or Loss. Manufacturing businesses that sell finished goods to wholesalers/retailers prepare a trading account alongside the manufacturing account.

    • Inventory types:

    • Raw materials: Unprocessed materials to create the final product (e.g., wood for furniture).

    • Work-in-progress: Partially completed products needing further work (e.g., a table with missing legs).

    • Finished/completed goods: Ready for sale (e.g., a complete table).

    • Manufacturing cost (cost of production): Calculated by adding factory overheads (indirect production costs) to prime cost (direct production costs).

    • Direct production cost (prime cost): Costs directly involved in manufacturing a product. Easily identified/calculated per unit.

    • Direct labor: Wages paid to workers directly involved in production.

    • Direct material: Raw materials used in production.

    • Direct expenses: Costs directly related to the manufacturing process (e.g., royalties, lighting, heating).

    • Indirect production cost: Costs incurred during production but not directly linked to a specific unit.

    • Indirect material: Materials used in support of production (e.g., cleaning supplies).

    • Indirect labor: Wages for support staff (e.g., factory supervisors).

    • Indirect expenses: Costs related to factory operations (e.g., rent, insurance, factory supervisor's salary).

    • Manufacturing Account Format: Shows prime costs and indirect costs. Includes opening/closing raw materials, direct production/factory wages, direct expenses, prime costs, and factory overheads to calculate total manufacturing cost/cost of production.

    • Transfer price: Production cost of completed goods plus a percentage markup; price one part of an organization sells its product to another part.

    • Factory/Manufacturing profit: Difference between the transfer price and the production cost of completed goods.

    • Importance of the transfer price: Better control of manufacturing cost, comparing it with the market price, and viewing manufacturing as a profit center.

    • Drawbacks of transfer price: Does not always improve overall business profitability, and can provide an unrealistic view of factory profitability.

    • Provision for unrealized profit: Profit not recognized until inventory is sold; finished goods valued at cost plus profit margin; unrealized profit provision avoids anticipated profit from inventory calculation for consistency and accounting standards.

    • Accounting treatment (Profit/Loss): Increase in provision is an expense; decrease is income.

    • Accounting treatment (Statement of Financial Position): Deducted from transferred value of finished goods reflecting the cost.

    • Inventory valuation (Statement of Financial Position): Raw materials, work-in-progress, finished goods at transfer price, minus provision for unrealized profit.

    • IAS 2: Inventories valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value; prudence concept (profits and assets shouldn't be overstated); realization concept (profits recognized when earned).
