Raw Materials
The raw materials inventory account records the cost of materials not yet put into production. For Custom Furniture Company, this account includes items such as wood, brackets, screws, nails, glue, lacquer, and sandpaper.
Work in Process
The work-in-process (WIP) inventory account records the costs of products that have not yet been completed. Suppose Custom Furniture Company has eight tables that are still in production at the end of the year. All manufacturing costs associated with these incomplete eight tables—direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead—are included in the WIP inventory account.
Once goods in WIP inventory are completed, they are transferred into finished goods inventory. The cost of completed goods that are transferred out of WIP inventory into finished goods inventory is called the cost of goods manufactured.
This account is debited with the total
cost of production, which includes—direct materials, direct
employee,
direct expenses, production overhead recovered, and is credited
with the
amount of finished goods completed and transferred. The balance in
this
account represents total balances of jobs/works-in-process, as
shown by
several job accounts.
Finished Goods
The finished goods inventory account records the manufacturing costs of products that are completed and ready to sell. Suppose Custom Furniture Company has five completed tables at the end of the year (in addition to the eight partially completed tables in work-in-process inventory). The manufacturing costs of these five tables—direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead—are included in the finished goods inventory account until the tables are sold. (For the purposes of this example, assume the tables are “sold” when delivered to the customer.
This account is debited with the value
of goods transferred from Work-in-process Control
Account,administration costs recovered (if relates to production
activities). This
account is credited with Cost of Sales Account. The balance of this
account
represents the value of goods unsold at the end of the period..
Wage Control Account
This account is debited with total wages paid
(direct and indirect). Direct wages are further transferred to
Work-inProcess Control Account and indirect wages to Production
Overhead;
Administration Overhead or Selling & Distribution Overhead
Control
Accounts, as the case may be. Wages paid for abnormal idle time
are
transferred to Costing Profit & Loss Account either directly or
through
Abnormal Loss Account.
Administrative Overhead Account
This account is debited with
overhead incurred and credited with overhead recovered. The
overhead
recovered are debited to Finished Goods Control Account, if
administrative
overhead is related with production activities otherwise to Cost of
Sales A/c.
The difference between administrative overheads incurred and
recovered is
transferred to Overhead Adjustment Account.
Selling And Distribution Account
This account is debited
with selling and distribution overheads incurred and credited with
the selling and
distribution overheads recovered. The difference between overheads
incurred and
recovered is transferred usually to Overhead Adjustment
Account.
Cost of goods sold account
This account is debited with the cost of finished
goods transferred from Finished Goods Control Account for
sale,
General Administrative overhead recovered, Selling and
distribution
overhead recovered. The balance of this account is ultimately
transferred to
Sales Account or Costing Profit & Loss Account.
