Week 4 - Discussion 1


Manufacturing Accounting

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapter 18 in the textbook. In addition, the MyLab materials listed in the Recommended Resources section this week may provide more in-depth information for this discussion (optional).

Write: Make sure your response addressing the prompt is more than 200 words and that you include an in-text citation or a brief quote from the reading material where appropriate.

Unlike service companies, manufacturing companies have three inventory accounts: raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods. Manufacturing costs can be classified into three categories: direct material, labor, and overhead. Another method to classify costs is as product and period costs. Product costs, like raw material, can be traced directly to the product. Period costs are non-manufacturing costs, such as administrative and insurance costs.

For this discussion, do the following:

·         Explain manufacturing costs, prime and conversion costs, and product and period costs.

·         Explain the steps to calculate cost of goods manufactured and cost of goods sold.

·         Develop an example of a schedule of cost of goods manufactured and a manufacturing income statement.

Guided Response: Respond to at least two of your classmates by commenting on their posts. Though two replies are the basic expectation for class discussions, for deeper engagement and learning you are encouraged to provide responses to any comments or questions others have given to you. Continuing to engage with peers and the instructor will further the conversation and provide you with opportunities to demonstrate your content expertise, critical thinking, and real-world experiences with the discussion topics.
