Document Summary

Cost of goods manufactured and cost of goods sold. Cost of goods manufactured represents the total cost of goods completed during the period. Recall that prior to completion, the costs are debited into work-in-progress. After completion, this cost is debited into finished goods. So, the cogm for a period is the amount that is debited into wip + the existing wip credited out of wip. Thus, cogm = opening wip + total manufacturing costs closing wip. Where total manufacturing costs include direct materials, direct labour and overhead. Cogs = beginning fg + cost of goods manufactured (= goods available for sale) applied. With direct costs (i. e. materials and labour), it is easy to calculate/measure how much is allocated. i. e. we know the actual costs. However, with indirect costs (e. g. depreciation), it is difficult to allocate. Usually we have a pre-determined rate (e. g. based on machine hours). For overhead, we have a temporary account called overhead control.
