Determine manufacturing profit and adjust for unrealized profits. What is a Manufacturing Account? An account that details the cost of producing or manufacturing products ( goods or services) in a given period. It determines the cost of production needed for the calculation of cost of © Boateng and Edem, U.G.B.S., (Accounting 23 Dept.) goods sold in the general income statement of a manufacturing company. Elements of Cost of Production  Direct Material Cost  Materials which become a physical part of the goods produced. E.g. raw materials  Direct Labour Cost  © Boateng and Edem, U.G.B.S., (Accounting 24 Dept.)    Cost of labour actually working on the goods produced. E.g. wages of production workers.  Other Direct Expenses  Other expenses directly attributed to the production of the goods. E.g. royalties  Indirect Manufacturing Expenses (Overheads) - All production costs which are indirect  Indirect materials e.g. lubricants  Indirect labour e.g. wages of foreman, cleaner  General overheads e.g. depreciation, rents etc. Other Divisions of Cost © Boateng and Edem, U.G.B.S., (Accounting 25 Dept.) Prime Cost – Aggregate of all direct cost of manufacturing i.e. direct material cost plus direct labour cost plus direct expenses. Conversion cost – Cost involve in converting raw materials into partlyfinished product or finished product. i.e. direct labour cost plus direct expenses plus all factory overheads Production cost – Cost of manufacturing the product i.e. prime cost plus manufacturing overheads © Boateng and Edem, U.G.B.S., (Accounting 26 Dept.) Kinds of Stock/Inventory Stocks/Inventory of Raw Materials – Materials to be converted into finished goods. i.e. the materials that are used to make the product. For example, fruits in a fruit processing company. Stocks/Inventory of Work-in-Process – Materials in their intermediate state of production. Thus, the units of product that are partially complete and will require further work before ready for sale. For example, the mixed dough in a bakery. Stocks/Inventory of Finished goods/products – © Boateng and Edem, U.G.B.S., (Accounting 27 Dept.) – – – – Units of products that have been completed but have not yet been sold to customers. For a commercial organisation, they are goods bought to be sold and waiting sales. © Boateng and Edem, U.G.B.S., (Accounting 28 Dept.)

Aboagye -Otchere College of Humanities Lecturer in Accounting School of Business University of Ghana Business School 2015/2016 Learning Objectives Identify the different types of errors Understand the basic process of errors management Appreciate the relationship between errors and © F. Aboagye-Otchere, U.G.B.S., (Accounting 147 Dept.) profits Explain the process of rectification of errors after finalisation of accounts CORRECTION OF ERRORS AND SUSPENSE ACCOUNT Error: An error is an unintentional mistake and it can occur at any stage of business transaction processing Points to note Two types of errors can broadly be identified as: © F. Aboagye-Otchere, U.G.B.S., (Accounting 148 Dept.) – Those that do not affect the agreement of the Trial Balance ( it will still balance if committed ) – Those that affect the agreement of a trial balance (it will not balance if committed) © F. Aboagye-Otchere, U.G.B.S., (Accounting 149 Dept.) CORRECTION OF ERRORS AND SUSPENSE ACCOUNT (cont’d) Errors Not Affecting Trial Balance – These are errors which when committed, the trial balance will still balance because the two-fold effect would not be affected. Error of Omission – This is where a transaction is not recorded in the books of the business at all. It is said that the transaction is completely omitted from the books. An example is where © F. Aboagye-Otchere, U.G.B.S., (Accounting 150 Dept.) CORRECTION OF ERRORS AND SUSPENSE sale to Jane, GH¢2,000 is not recorded in the books of K Ltd at all. ACCOUNT (cont’d)  Error of Commission  This error occurs when as a result of confusion with similar names, transactions are sent into the wrong personal account. An example is Cheque paid to Amina for GH¢300 is debited to Anima’s account.  Error of Principle © F. Aboagye-Otchere, U.G.B.S., (Accounting 151 Dept.) CORRECTION OF ERRORS AND SUSPENSE  This is where a transaction is posted to the wrong class of account, thereby breaking the accounting principle. For instance, cash received from the disposal of a fixed asset is credited to sales account of a buying and selling business. ACCOUNT (cont’d) Error of Original Entry  This error is said to have been committed when the figure used to pass entries into the books is different from the original correct figure. Here, the © F. Aboagye-Otchere, U.G.B.S., (Accounting 152 Dept.) CORRECTION OF ERRORS AND SUSPENSE double entry is adhered to but the figure used is wrong. Example is, Rent paid GH¢350 was recorded in the books as GH¢500(i.e. for debit and credit) © F. Aboagye-Otchere, U.G.B.S., (Accounting 153 Dept.) CORRECTION OF ERRORS AND SUSPENSE ACCOUNT (cont’d) Complete Reversal of Entry:  In this situation, the correct figures are used but the entries are posted to the wrong sides of the two accounts involved. For example, sales on credit to Ama is debited to Sales account (instead of credit) and credited to Ama’s account (instead of debit). The entries are said to have been reversed © F. Aboagye-Otchere, U.G.B.S., (Accounting 154 Dept.) completely. Note: if the reversal is in respect of only one account, the trial balance will not balance. CORRECTION OF ERRORS AND SUSPENSE ACCOUNT (cont’d) Error of Transposition: This form of error occurs where there is a wrong sequence of the individual characters within a number when recording. Eg; GHC132 recorded as GHC123 © F. Aboagye-Otchere, U.G.B.S., (Accounting 155 Dept.) CORRECTION OF ERRORS AND SUSPENSE – Correction of these errors is done by either reversing the wrong entries and posting the correct ones or finding the differences and passing the correct entries. Suspense account will not be affected as the Trial Balance was not affected. ACCOUNT (cont’d) Errors that Affect the Trial Balance © F. Aboagye-Otchere, U.G.B.S., (Accounting 156 Dept.) – Casting Errors-“over-adding” or “over-subtracting”. – Single Entries-One debit/credit without corresponding credit/debit. – Two debits or two credits for one transaction. – Over/understatements in one account only. – Others CORRECTION OF ERRORS AND SUSPENSE ACCOUNT (cont’d) Suspense Account © F. Aboagye-Otchere, U.G.B.S., (Accounting 157 Dept.) CORRECTION OF ERRORS AND SUSPENSE This account is introduced anytime the Trial Balance is not balancing and efforts to locate the error have not been fruitful. That is to say, suspense account is an interim account introduced to ensure the agreement of the Trial Balance pending the finding of the error. This means that in correcting any error that affected the Trial Balance, suspense account will be involved. ACCOUNT (cont’d) © F. Aboagye-Otchere, U.G.B.S., (Accounting 158 Dept.)  The principle is that when the error could not be traced and the Trial Balance was not balancing, suspense account stood in for the entry to ensure agreement.  Therefore, if the error has now been identified, then the Suspense Account must now leave the books for the “owner”, the right entry to occupy its rightful place.  Note that suspense account should only be opened after efforts to locate the error had not yielded the desired results and not as a safe haven for dumping imbalances. The structure of the suspense account is like any Taccount. © F. Aboagye-Otchere, U.G.B.S., (Accounting 159 Dept.) CORRECTION OF ERRORS AND SUSPENSE ACCOUNT (cont’d) Suspense Account Difference in trial balance xxx Difference in trial balance xxx Discount received xxx Purchases xxx Sales xxx Creditors xxx © F. Aboagye-Otchere, U.G.B.S., (Accounting 160 Dept.) CORRECTION OF ERRORS AND SUSPENSE Note: Two balances cannot happen at the same time but to show that it could be a debit or credit balance b/fwd. ACCOUNT (cont’d)  Correction of Net Profit and Redrafting the Statement of Financial Position.  Sometimes interim final accounts are prepared before the errors are located. This means the profit may not be correct and if the errors have effect on items that appear in the computation of profit then it must be revised. After the errors have been corrected, the profit arrived at earlier would be adjusted to show the true position of the performance of the business. © F.
