Financial Statements Of A Manufacturer
Overview
A trading business buys goods finished and ready to sell. A manufacturing business does something harder: it buys raw materials, pays people to turn them into something else, and only then has anything to sell at all. Its financial statements have to answer an extra question a trading business never faces: what did it actually cost to make the goods, before a single unit is sold?
In this lesson you will learn the difference between inventories of raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods, and how to prepare a manufacturing account that builds from prime cost through to production cost, ready to flow straight into the income statement.
Objectives
- Understand the difference between the inventories of raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods
- Prepare manufacturing accounts to show prime cost, production cost and total cost
