MATERIAL
Materials are supplies purchased from outside sources, used to produce products for
sale. Examples are flour used in making bread, wood used in making furniture. Material
can be classified into direct and indirect material.
Indirect material All materials that cannot be identified with any one specific
product, because they are used for the benefit of all products
rather that for any one specific product. Indirect material is part
of manufacturing overhead.

a. Materials constitute a large part of the total cost of a product and a large sum of
money are invested in materials, therefore need to be properly controlled.
Table 2.2 below shows the positive effects from efficient material control systems:
Effects Explanation
1 Availability of There availability of all types of materials in the factory are
materials ensured so that the production may not held up for the want of
materials.

The effects in Table 2.2 would give the management of a company a greater opportunity
for increased profits by reducing material costs.
a. Purchasing procedure varies with different business forms, but all of them follow a
general pattern in the purchase and receipt of materials and payment of
obligations.
b. The important steps in purchasing and receiving procedure are as follows , shown

i. The department that requires the materials (normally the store) will send
the purchase requisition notes to purchasing department, requesting the
purchasing department to purchase the materials.
ii. The purchasing department then (after selecting the best supplier) place
the order and send the purchase order to supplier. 1 copy each of the
purchase order is sent to account department and the receiving
department.
iii. The supplier will deliver the materials together with delivery note and
invoice.
iv. When the materials are delivered, the receiving department will make
inspection to confirm the materials delivered are consistent with the
information stated in the purchase order. If the materials delivered are
correct, then the materials will be sent to store. The receiving department
will prepare the good received notes, sending a copy of it to purchasing
department
d. Documents used upon purchasing procedures are described in Table 2.3 below:

a. The store control begins from the moment materials are received by the
storekeeper. An efficient storekeeping is essential to ensure :
i. That too much stock is not held as this would mean too much capital is tied
up unnecessarily and increased costs of storage
ii. That too litle stock is not held as this will result in production holds-up due to
insufficient stock
iii. That materials can be protected against pilferage or deterioration as this may
result in lossess
iv. That materials can be received and issued speedily so that production is not
held up
v. That the materials can be located speedily. This in turn requires proper
planning of the layout so that no delays to production could arise
vi. That materials can be identified speedily. This in turn requires the materials
to be classified and coded properly so that wrong materials are not sent to
production.
b. There are a number of methods used for the purpose of maintaining stores control.
But, the focus of our syllabus is only on 3 methods : EOQ, Stock level and Stock
Taking & Pricing of materials.
a. EOQ is the acronym for economic order quantity. The economic order
quantity is the optimum quantity of goods to be purchased at one time in
order to minimize the annual total costs of ordering and carrying or holding
items in inventory. EOQ is also referred to as the optimum lot size to be
ordered.
Costs Description
Costs of ordering of • Ordering costs are the expenses incurred to
inventory : create and process an order to a supplier
• Ordering costs are the costs related to the
Acronym Used : “O” preparation of a supplier’s order, including the
cost of placing an order, inspection costs,
documentation costs, and others.

d. EOQ is one of the most prominent models used widely for effective inventory
management. EOQ calculates the ordering quantity of inventory using inputs
of carrying cost, ordering cost, annual usage of the said inventory.
EOQ can be
determined by
using
Formula Tabulation
Graphically (equation method

UpdatedOct2021byMissShafa

Under this method, the carrying cost, ordering cost and total cost are shown on
graph.
It is based on the principle that the total carrying cost increases as the order
size increases.
However, the ordering cost decreases if the order size increases. T
the point at which the ordering cost and carrying cost intersects each other, total
cost is minimum.
• The formula is :
√2 𝐷 𝑂
𝐸𝑂𝑄 =
C
Where:
D= total demand for the material during a given period or the annual
quantity used (annual consumption)
O= costs of placing and receiving orders (ordering costs)
C= the annual cost of carrying (holding) one unit of material

• Stock taking – it is necessary to know the level of every line of stock at any
time after every receipts and issue of materials.
• There are 2 methods of stock taking; perpetual inventory system and
continuous inventory system.

• The stcok levels ascertained by perpetual inventory system must agree with
the stock balances ascertained by a physical stock checks. Periodic or
continuous inventory system is to confirm that perpetual inventory
system is working efficiently.
• A more detailed record of each item of material is kept on a stock record card
or stores recod card (Figure 2.11) by the storekeeper. Some organizations
do not maintain the bin card as it is duplicating the function of stores record
card.
UpdatedOct2021byMissShafa

• As for the purpose of costing the materials, the cost accounting department
keeps the store ledger card or stores ledger account (Figure 2.12). The
information found in the bin card or stock record cards are also be found in
the store ledger card or stores ledger account. The stores ledger
card/account records material in quantity and money terms.
