MEANING OF MANUFACTURING ACCOUNTS
Manufacturing can simply be described as the transformation of raw materials into finished goods e.g. manufacturing companies like Nestle, Cadbury, PZ etc. These manufacturing firms do manufacture their goods or product before they are sold to their customer. They do not buy to sell but produce what they sell.
There manufacturing companies prepare final accounts called Manufacturing Accounts.
PURPOSE OF MANUFACTURING ACCOUNTS
Manufacturing Accounts are prepared to ascertain the cost of goods manufactured during the financial
year. Therefore manufacturing accounts have the following purposes.
- To ascertain the cost of production
- To determine the profit of the manufacturing process.
ELEMENTS OF COST OF PRODUCTION
- COST OF PRODUCTION: This is the total expenditure incurred in the production of goods. Production costs include PRIME COST + FACTORY OVERHEADS
- PRIME COST: These are cost directly related to the production process. It is also called Direct Cost which includes: Direct materials, direct labour, direct expenses and any other direct expenditure.
- Direct materials cost: These are the cost of raw materials
- Direct labour cost: These are costs of labour wages paid
- Direct expenses: These are costs of other expenditures incurred in the production process.
- FACTORY OVERHEADS: These are costs incurred in the running of the factory but not directly related to the production process. It is also called INDIRECT COST. They include; factory rent and rates, and depreciation of plant and machinery. Indirect wages, upkeep of factory building

TRANSFER PRICING
In the trading account, the cost of production is charged to determine profit on sales. The changing of cost of production of goods may be done in two ways.
- Actual factory cost
- Current market values
When goods manufactured are charged at the current market value to the trading account, the main objective is to obtain profit from the manufacturing process. The manufacturing accounts will then have to show a balance which represents a profit or loss on production and this is transferred to the profit and loss account.
