Unit 2: Final Accounts of Manufacturing Entities: Learning Outcomes
2.1 INTRODUCTION
The manufacturing entities generally prepare a separate Manufacturing Account as a part of Final accounts
in addition to Trading Account, Profit and Loss Account and Balance Sheet. The objective of preparing
Manufacturing Account is to determine manufacturing costs of finished goods for assessing the cost
effectiveness of manufacturing activities. Manufacturing costs of finished goods are then transferred from
the Manufacturing Account to Trading Account.
(a) Trading account shows Gross Profit while Manufacturing Account shows cost of goods sold
which includes direct expenses.
(b) Manufacturing account deals with the raw material, and work in progress while the trading
account would deal with finished goods only.
2.2 PURPOSE
A manufacturing account serves the following functions:
(1) It shows the total cost of manufacturing the finished products and sets out in detail, with appropriate
classifications, the constituent elements of such cost. It is, therefore, debited with the cost of materials,
manufacturing wages and expenses incurred directly or indirectly on manufacture.
(2) It provides details of factory cost and facilitates reconciliation of financial books with cost records and
also serves as a basis of comparison of manufacturing operations from year to year.
(3) The Manufacturing Account may also be used for various other purposes. For example, if the output is
carried to the Trading Account at market prices, it discloses the profit or loss on manufacture. Similarly,
it may also be used to fix the amount of production of profit sharing bonus when such schemes are in
force.
Opening inventory of Work-in-Process is posted to the debit of the Manufacturing Account and closing
inventory of Work-in-Process is posted to the credit of the Manufacturing Account.
? ILLUSTRATION 1
1,00,000 units were produced in a factory. Per unit material cost was `10 and per unit labour cost was `5. That
apart it was agreed to pay royalty @ ` 3 per unit to the Japanese collaborator who supplied technology.
Required
Calculate Manufacturing Cost.
SOLUTION
In this case Manufacturing Cost comprises of –
Raw Material consumed (1,00,000 × ` 10) ` 10,00,000
Direct Wages (1,00,000 × ` 5) ` 5,00,000
Direct Expenses (1,00,000 × ` 3) ` 3,00,000
` 18,00,000
These are also called Manufacturing overhead, Production overhead, Works overhead, etc. Overhead is
defined as total cost of indirect material, indirect wages and indirect expenses.
Overhead = Indirect Material + Indirect Wages + Indirect Expenses
Indirect material means materials which cannot be linked directly with the units produced, for example,
stores consumed for repair and maintenance work, small tools, fuel and lubricating oil, etc.
Indirect wages are those which cannot be directly linked to the units produced, for example, wages for
maintenance works, holding pay, etc.
Indirect expenses are those which cannot be directly linked to the units produced, for example, training
expenses, depreciation of plant and machinery, depreciation of factory shed, insurance premium for plant
and machinery, factory shed, etc.
Accordingly, indirect manufacturing expenses comprise indirect material, indirect wages and indirect
expenses of the manufacturing division.
BY-PRODUCTS
In most manufacturing operations, the production of the main product is accompanied by the production
of a subsidiary product which has a value on sale. For example, the production of hydrogenated vegetable
oil is accompanied by the production of oxygen gas and the production of steel yields scrap. The subsidiary
product is termed as a by-product because its production is not consciously undertaken but results out of
the production of the main product. It is usually very difficult to ascertain the cost of the product. Moreover,
its value usually forms a very small percentage of the main product.
By-product is a secondary product. This is produced from the same raw materials, which are used for
producing the main product and without incurring any additional expenses from the same production
process in which the main product is produced. Some examples of by-product are given below:
By-products generally have insignificant value as compared to the value of main product. They are
generally valued at net realizable value, if their costs cannot be separately identified. It is often treated,
as “Miscellaneous income” but the correct treatment would be to credit the sale value of the by-product to
Manufacturing Account so as to reduce to that extent, the cost of manufacture of main product.
Tutorial Note: Frequently, problems are set, in which all the ledger balances are not given. Instead, details are
given regarding the number of items in Inventories, quantity manufactured etc. the figures for Inventories,
sales etc., would therefore have to be worked out independently from the data given.
The following general rules may be observed.
(a) The Manufacturing Account should have columns showing the quantities and values. Frequently, all
the quantities are not given and the quantities applicable to one or more of the items would have to be
worked out. For example, if the question does not state the total number of items sold, the quantity can be
worked out by adding opening inventory and units manufactured and deducting closing inventory. It is,
therefore, useful to have quantity columns in the account so that it can be seen that both sides balance.
(b) The Manufacturing Account will show the quantity of raw materials in inventory at the beginning and
at the end of the year and the purchases during the year. As regards finished goods, it will only show the
quantity manufactured and, as regards work-in-progress, the opening and closing amounts.
(c) The Trading Account will show the quantities of finished goods manufactured and sold and the opening
and closing inventory. It will not show the quantity of raw materials or work-in-progress.
(d) For determining the value of closing inventory, in the absence of specific instruction to the contrary, it
must be assumed that sales have been on “first in-first out” basis, that is, the closing inventory consists as far
as possible of goods produced during the year, the opening inventory being sold out.
It may be mentioned here that nowadays no manufacturing business entity prepares manufacturing
account as part of its final set of accounts. Even the items of manufacturing account are shown either in
trading account (in case of non-corporate entities) or in Statement of profit and loss (in case of corporate
entities).
The procedure of preparation of Trading Account, Profit and Loss Account and Balance Sheet have already
been explained in Unit 1 of this chapter. Students should refer the earlier unit for attempting the problems
based on the preparation of complete set of final accounts of a sole proprietor.

Theoretical Questions
1. By-products generally have insignificant value as compared to the value of main product. They are
generally valued at net realisable value, if their costs cannot be separately identified. It is often
treated, as “Miscellaneous income” but the correct treatment would be to credit the sale value of the
by-product to Manufacturing Account so as to reduce to that extent, the cost of manufacture of main
product.
2. Direct manufacturing expenses are costs, other than material or wages, which are incurred for a
specific product or saleable service.
Indirect Manufacturing expenses are also called Manufacturing overhead, Production overhead,
Works overhead, etc. Overhead is defined as total cost of indirect material, indirect wages and indirect
expenses.
