Manufacturing accounts format

Manufacturing Manufacturing accounts  by Ronnie Patton and Simon McCarthy 05 Nov 2002 An important feature of the syllabus for Paper B1, Maintaining Financial Records and Accounts is that candidates are required to develop an awareness of the need to present information in a format which reflects the needs o f particular types of organisations. The final accounts of sole traders comprise co mprise of a Trading and Profit and Loss Account and Balance Sheet. Candidates Cand idates will be familiar with the broad format of these accou nts as shown in Figure 1.

The manufacturing process involves buying raw materials which are then converted by the manufacturing process to produce finished goods. It is the finished goods which are traded by the organisation. The final accounts must reflect this. For this reason, we need a preliminary accounting statement which calculates the cost of  the goods which have been manufactured. We call this statement the Manufacturing Account. A proforma manufacturing account is shown in Figure 2.

direct labour and direct expenses). A detailed consideration of how we differentiate  between direct costs and indirect costs falls within the s yllabus of Paper B2, Cost Accounting Systems. For that reason, any questions on the topic of manufacturing accounts on Paper B1 will clearly indicate whether a cost should be treated as a direct or  indirect cost. Candidates should note howeve r, that prime cost is an important figure and the Paper B1 syllabus requires candidates to demonstrate the ability to calculate it accurately. Treatment of stock  st ock  As preparing the final accounts of a manufacturing organisation may involve three types of stock, a clear understanding of the nature of each type of stock is important. Basic Principle First consider the treatment of stock in a trading organisation. The trial balance will include a debit balance representing opening stock. Opening stock must always be treated as a periodic cost. It will consequently conseque ntly be written off in the accounts. The value of closing stock will be given as additional information. Closing stock will therefore give rise to a double entry, entry, (a credit entry to reduce expenses and a debit entry en try to create the asset which is reflected on the balance sheet). This applies to all types of  organisations. Types of Stock  At the balance sheet date, there may be three types of stock in a manufacturing organisation. Some raw materials will remain in stock. This is the raw material stock. Some of the raw materials issued to production will be fully converted into finished goods. This is the finished goods stock. There will also be some items which are partly complete. These items are referred to as work in progress. Each of the three types of  stock is treated as follows: Raw Materials The cost of raw materials consumed in the period is included in Prime Cost (as shown in Figure 2) and is calculated as follows: Opening Stock of Raw Materials (from Trial Balance) add Purchases (net of returns) (from Trial Balance) less Closing Stock of Raw Materials (additional information) = Cost of Materials Consumed

The other costs of manufacturing the product (manufacturing overheads) are added to

 progress adjustment: add Opening Work Work in Progress (from Trial Balance) less Closing Work Work in Progress (additional information) Finished Goods The Trading Account can now be completed, with the Cost of Sales calculated as: Opening Stock of Finished Goods (from Trial Balance) add Factory Cost of Goods Manufactured (Manufacturing Account) less Closing Stock of Finished Goods (see Figure 3) (additional information).

When preparing the balance sheet, the closing stock figure which is included in Current Assets will be the total of raw materials stock, work in progress and finished goods stock. Shared Expenses To make the accounts more meaningful, the classification of costs should reflect the main activities of the business. This means that we classify costs into the following categories: Manufacturing overheads: which are included in the manufacturing account as part of  the factory cost of goods manufactured. Administrative costs: which are included in the profit and loss account. Selling and distribution costs: which are also included in the profit and loss account.

Consider: Rent Debit Balance per Trial Balance Prepayment

Administration

20% = £2,000

Selling and Distribution 20% = £2,000  NB: The Administration Administration and Selling and Distribution costs will be written off to the Profit and Loss Account. If we combine the points set out above, we can see that a manufacturing organisation will have an extra accounting statement (the Manufacturing Account). All candidates should ensure that they are familiar with the la yout of this statement. The purpose of the manufacturing account is to calculate the factory cost of goods manufactured for  inclusion in the Trading Account. Care should also be taken to deal with the stock values correctly, correctly, and to apportion the costs as directed by the question. (Table (Table 1 shows how each type of stock is treated when preparing the accounts).
