MANUFACTURING ACCOUNTS
The businesses which produce and sell the items prepare the following accounts at the end of its
accounting year:a. The Manufacturing account (to calculate the total cost of production)
b. The Trading and profit & loss account (to find out the net profit or loss)
c. The balance sheet.(to show the financial position of the business)
The total cost of production = Prime cost + Factory overhead
The Prime cost = Direct material + Direct labour + Direct expenses
Direct material cost = Opening stock of raw materials + purchase of raw materials + carriage
inwards – returns outwards – closing stock of raw materials.
Factory overhead expenses = All expenses related to the factory (indirect expenses)

In a manufacturing concern, usually there are three kinds of stocks:
Stock of Raw materials (the materials which are mainly used for production of the item)
Stock of Work in progress (the materials on which some work process have been completed)
Stock of Finished goods (The materials on which all the production processes are completed and ready
for sale to the customers)

The profit & loss account and the balance sheet preparations will be the same as that of a sole
trader’s. So the students have to follow the previous method for the preparation of these.
Fixed expenses and Variable expenses
Some expenses will remain constant whether the level of activity increases or falls. These expenses are
called fixed expenses E.g. rent of building
The expenses which change with changes in activity are called variable expenses
E.g: cost of materials.
Key points:

Carriage on raw materials means carriage inwards and it is a part of prime cost.

Carriage outwards is shown in the profit & loss account as an expense.

Royalties paid is to be treated as direct expense.

Depreciation on Plant and Machinery or any other factory asset is to be treated as factory overhead
expense.

Stocks of raw materials and work-in-progress are taken in the manufacturing account and stock of
finished goods is taken in the trading account.


Stocks at the end of the year (raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods) are shown in the
balance sheet as current assets.
Owner’s raw materials drawings are shown in the manufacturing account while calculating the prime
cost.

Finished goods drawings are shown in the trading account while calculating the cost of goods sold.

The purchase of finished goods is added with cost of production in the trading account.

The depreciation of any asset used in the office should be shown as an expense in the profit & loss
account.

Cost of readymade items bought for the production of items manufactured should be treated as direct
expense.

Unit cost of production =
Total cost of production
No of units produced
