As other costs related to manufacturing are recorded, the factory overhead account is
charged. The debit to Work in Process for factory overhead is made by allocating
overhead expenses to this account. At the same time, the factory overhead account is
credited. The total cost of goods completed is recorded by debiting Finished Goods and
crediting Work in Process. When units are sold, Cost of Goods Sold is debited and
Finished Goods is credited.

MINI-CASE
1. The ethical standards which apply to this case are competency, integrity, and
objectivity. Competency requires that Johns perform her professional duties in
accordance with relevant laws, regulations, and technical standards. Integrity
requires that Johns refrain from either actively or passively subverting the attainment
of the organization’s legitimate and ethical objectives. Objectivity requires that Johns
communicate information fairly and objectively.
2. Johns should first explain to Deere that recording the revenue in 2011 would be a
violation of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). If Deere persists,
Johns should report the matter to the corporate controller. If there is no support from
top management, Johns should resign.
