MEANING OF MANUFACTURING ACCOUNTS 

Manufacturing can simply be described as the transformation of raw materials into finished goods e.g. manufacturing companies like Nestle, Cadbury, PZ e.tc. These manufacturing firms do manufacture their goods or product before they are sold to their customer. They do not buy to sell but produce what they sell.

The manufacturing companies prepare a final accounts called Manufacturing Account. 

The Manufacturing Account is a financial statement that shows the cost of goods produced by a manufacturing company during a particular accounting period. It is used to calculate the cost of goods sold, which is the cost of finished goods sold during the period. The Manufacturing Account includes the following items:

1. Direct materials: This includes the cost of raw materials used in the production process.
2. Direct labor: This includes the cost of wages, salaries, and other benefits paid to workers involved in the production process.
3. Factory overheads: This includes all indirect costs associated with the production process, such as rent, utilities, and maintenance.
4. Work-in-progress: This includes the value of goods that are partially completed but not yet sold.
5. Finished goods: This includes the value of goods that are completed and ready for sale.

Here are some multiple-choice questions based on the above information:

1. What is manufacturing? a) The transformation of finished goods into raw materials b) The transformation of raw materials into finished goods c) The buying and selling of goods d) The provision of services to customers
2. Which of the following is not included in the Manufacturing Account? a) Direct materials b) Direct labor c) Factory overheads d) Selling expenses

4. What is direct labor? a) The cost of rent and utilities b) The cost of raw materials c) The cost of workers involved in the production process d) The cost of finished goods
5. What is factory overheads? a) The cost of raw materials b) The cost of workers involved in the production process c) All indirect costs associated with the production process d) The value of finished goods
6. What is work-in-progress? a) The value of goods that are completed and ready for sale b) The value of goods that are partially completed but not yet sold c) The value of raw materials d) The cost of workers involved in the production process
7. What is finished goods? a) The value of goods that are partially completed but not yet sold b) The value of goods that are completed and ready for sale c) The value of raw materials d) The cost of workers involved in the production process

10. What is the value of goods produced? a) The cost of goods sold during the accounting period b) The value of goods that are partially completed but not yet sold c) The value of finished goods sold during the period d) The cost of goods produced during the accounting period

PURPOSE OF MANUFACTURING ACCOUNTS 

Manufacturing Account are prepared to ascertain the cost of goods manufactured during the financial 

year. Therefore manufacturing accounts have the following purposes.

1. To ascertain the cost of production
2. To determine the profit on the manufacturing process.

To elaborate further on the purposes of manufacturing accounts:

1. To ascertain the cost of production: The primary purpose of the Manufacturing Account is to calculate the cost of goods produced during a particular accounting period. This includes the cost of direct materials, direct labor, and factory overheads. By calculating the cost of production, the manufacturing company can determine the efficiency of its production process and identify areas for improvement.
2. To determine the profit on the manufacturing process: The Manufacturing Account also helps in determining the profit earned on the manufacturing process. This is done by subtracting the cost of goods manufactured from the total sales revenue generated during the period. The resulting figure represents the gross profit earned on the manufacturing process. This information is crucial for the management of the manufacturing company to make informed decisions on pricing, production processes, and cost control.

The Manufacturing Account provides valuable information on the cost of goods produced and the profitability of the manufacturing process. This information helps the manufacturing company to make informed decisions on production processes, pricing, and cost control

ELEMENTS OF COST OF PRODUCTION 

1. COST OF PRODUCTION: This is the total expenditure incurred in the production of goods. Production costs include PRIME COST + FACTORY OVERHEADS 
2. PRIME COST: These are cost directly related in the production process. It is also called Direct Cost which include: Direct materials, direct labour, direct expenses and any other direct expenditure. 

• Direct materials cost: These are cost of raw materials

• Direct labour cost: These are cost of labour wages paid

• Direct expenses: These are cost of other expenditure incurred in the production process.

 

1. FACTORY OVERHEADS: These are cost incurred in the running of the factory but not directly related to the production process. It is also called INDIRECT COST.  They include; factory rent and rates, depreciation of plant and machinery. Indirect wages, upkeep of factory building

TRANSFER PRICING

In the trading account, the cost of production is charged to determine profit on sales. The changing of cost of production of goods may be done in two ways.

1. Actual factory cost
2. Current market values 

 

When goods manufactured are charged at the current market value to the trading account,  the main objective is obtain  profit on the manufacturing process. The manufacturing accounts will then have to show a balance which represents a profit or loss on production and this is transferred to profit and loss account. 

 

EVALUATION

1. State four classifications of costs revealed by manufacturing accounts.
2. State two reasons for the preparation of manufacturing accounts.
