Inventoriable Product Costs
• For external reporting, merchandisers’ inventoriable product costs include only costs that are incurred in the purchase of goods.
• Inventoriable costs are an asset.
• Period costs flow as expenses directly to the income statement.
Inventoriable Product Costs
• For external reporting, manufacturers’ inventoriable product costs include raw materials plus all other costs incurred in the manufacturing process.
• Inventoriable product costs are incurred only in the third element of the value chain.
• Costs incurred in other elements of the value chain are period costs.

Prepare the financial statementsof a manufacturing company.
Objective 5
Revenues – Expenses = Operating income
Financial Statements forService Companies

Manufacturing Company Example
• Kendall Manufacturing Company:• Beginning and ending work-in-process
inventories were $20,000 and $18,000.• Direct materials used were $70,000.• Direct labor was $100,000.• Manufacturing overhead incurred was
$150,000.
Manufacturing Company Example
• What is the cost of goods manufactured?
Beginning work in process $ 20,000Direct labor $100,000Direct materials 70,000Mfg. overhead 150,000 320,000Ending work in process (18,000)Cost of goods manufactured $322,000
Manufacturing Company Example
• Kendall Manufacturing Company’s beginning finished goods inventory was $60,000 and its ending finished goods inventory was $55,000.
• How much is the cost of goods sold?
Manufacturing Company Example
Beg. finished goods inventory $ 60,000+ Cost of goods manufactured 322,000= Cost of goods available for sale $382,000– Ending finished goods 55,000= Cost of goods sold $327,000
Manufacturing Company Example
• Kendall Manufacturing Company had sales of $627,000 for the period.
• How much is the gross margin?Sales $627,000– Cost of goods sold 327,000= Gross margin $300,000
Manufacturing Company Example
• Kendall Manufacturing Company had operating expenses as follows:
• $80,000 Sales salaries 10,000 Delivery expense
30,000 Administrative expenses $120,000 Total
• What is Kendall’s operating income?
Manufacturing Company Example
Gross margin $300,000– Operating expenses 120,000= Operating income $180,000
Flow of Costs through a Manufacturer’s Accounts
• Direct Materials Inventory• Beginning inventory+ Purchases and freight-in
= Direct materials availablefor use
– Ending inventory= Direct materials used
• Work in Process Inventory• Beginning inventory+ Direct materials used+ Direct labor+ Manufacturing overhead= Total manufacturing costs
to account for– Ending inventory= Cost of goods manufactured
Flow of Costs through a Manufacturer’s Accounts
• Finished Goods Inventory• Beginning inventory+ Cost of goods manufactured= Cost of goods available for sale– Ending inventory= Cost of goods sold
