Introduction

The comprehensive analysis of manufacturing operations and financial accounting presented herein covers various fundamental aspects of cost accounting, financial reporting, and managerial decision-making through multiple case studies and transactions. The compilation includes preparation of income statements, journal entries, cost of production reports, and calculations involving factory overheads, product costing, and variance analysis. This paper elucidates the underlying principles by applying them to the provided scenarios, ultimately reinforcing the critical role of accurate record-keeping and managerial oversight in manufacturing enterprises.

Question 2: Income Statement Preparation for Asad & Company Limited

The first exercise involves preparing an income statement for Asad & Company Limited from the given data for 2014.

Beginning inventory (at sales prices): Rs. 37,500

Purchases at cost: Rs. 52,500

Sales at sales price: Rs. 75,000

Ending inventory (at sales price): Rs. 50,000

Marketing expenses: Rs. 16,000

Administrative expenses: Rs. 6,000

The income statement calculation necessitates converting all figures to consistent bases or adjusting for profit margins. Since inventory values are given at sales prices, we need to convert beginning and ending inventories to cost prices to match expenses and purchases. Assuming the sales price includes a markup over cost, the cost of goods sold (COGS) can be derived using the gross profit method, or, if no markup is provided, we may consider direct computation assuming inventory at cost (which is standard).

For demonstration, assuming the sales price includes a markup:

- Calculate gross profit margin:

Cost of goods sold (at cost) = Opening inventory + Purchases - Closing inventory (at cost)

However, since inventory values at sales prices are given, without explicit gross profit margin, an approximation can be made, or we can proceed with the assumption that the sales price and cost are proportionally related, which would need additional information to be precise.

- A simplified approach:

COGS = Opening inventory + Purchases - Ending inventory (both at cost)

Since only sales prices are provided, for the purpose of this exercise, assume the inventory at sales price is proportional to the cost, or directly subtract the inventories at sales prices from the sales figures to find gross profit.

- Therefore, approximate Gross Profit = Sales - (Beginning inventory + Purchases - Ending inventory)

= Rs. 75,000 - (Rs. 37,500 + Rs. 52,500 - Rs. 50,000)

= Rs. 75,000 - (Rs. 90,000 - Rs. 50,000)

= Rs. 75,000 - Rs. 40,000

= Rs. 35,000

- Expenses:

Marketing + Administrative = Rs. 16,000 + Rs. 6,000 = Rs. 22,000

- Net profit:

Gross Profit - Expenses = Rs. 35,000 - Rs. 22,000 = Rs. 13,000

Income Statement for 2014

Sales: Rs. 75,000

Cost of Goods Sold: Rs. 40,000

Gross Profit: Rs. 35,000

Expenses: Rs. 22,000

Net Income: Rs. 13,000

This simplified model omits detailed calculations of cost at purchase price due to data limitations but provides a logical framework for presentation.

Question 3: Journal Entries for Transactions in AI-Raheem Fabrics

The transactions involve purchase, usage, return of materials, payroll, factory overhead, finished goods, and sales. The journal entries can be summarized as:

1. Materials Purchased:

```

Debit: Raw Materials Inventory Rs. 100,000

Credit: Accounts Payable Rs. 100,000

```

2. Materials Issued for Production:

```

Debit: Work in Progress Rs. 85,000

Credit: Raw Materials Inventory Rs. 85,000

```

3. Return of Defective Materials:

```

Debit: Raw Materials Inventory Rs. 6,000

Credit: Accounts Payable Rs. 6,000

```

4. Unused Materials Returned:

```

Debit: Raw Materials Inventory Rs. 3,000

Credit: Work in Progress Rs. 2,000

Credit: Raw Materials Inventory Rs. 1,000

```

5. Payroll Expenses:

Total direct wages: Rs. 70,000 (Rs. 60,000 direct + Rs. 10,000 indirect)

Salaries of marketing department: Rs. 30,000

Salaries of admin staff: Rs. 20,000

Provident fund deduction: Rs. 12,000

Employer contribution: Rs. 12,000

Entry:

```

Debit: Work in Progress Rs. 70,000

Debit: Manufacturing Overhead Rs. 10,000

Debit: Marketing Expenses Rs. 30,000

Debit: Administrative Expenses Rs. 20,000

Credit: Wages Payable Rs. 70,000

Credit: Provident Fund Payable Rs. 12,000

```

6. Factory Overhead Incurred:

```

Debit: Factory Overhead Rs. 34,000

Credit: Utilities Rs. 12,000

Credit: Factory Rent Rs. 16,000

Credit: Accumulated Depreciation Rs. 4,000

Credit: Insurance Rs. 2,000

```

The overhead applied at 50% of direct labor:

Overhead applied = 50% of Rs. 70,000 = Rs. 35,000.

7. Cost of Finished Goods and Sale:

Finished goods cost = Rs. 150,000

Sales: Rs. 170,000 (Rs. 70,000 cash + Rs. 100,000 credit)

Entries include recognizing revenue and cost of goods sold accordingly.

Question 4: Production Loss and Journal Entries

- If loss is charged to the order:

Loss unit cost = Rs. 4,000 / 16 units = Rs. 250 per spoiled unit.

Journal entry:

```

Debit: Loss on Spoiled Units Rs. 4,000

Credit: Raw Materials / Work in Progress Rs. 4,000

```

- If loss is considered factory overhead:

Overhead cost = Rs. 4,000, assigned to factory overhead; then applied to production as overhead.

Entry:

```

Debit: Factory Overhead Rs. 4,000

Credit: Raw Materials Rs. 4,000

```

Remaining units produced (784 units) are billed at Rs. 1,250/unit, revenue recognized accordingly, and spoiled units are sold at Rs. 4,000.

Question 5: Factory Cost Calculation

- Piece Work Plan:

Direct wages = Rs. 7.50/hour × 9 hours = Rs. 67.50

Cost of materials = Rs. 400

Overheads at 150% of wages = 1.5 × Rs. 67.50 = Rs. 101.25

Total factory cost = Rs. 67.50 + Rs. 400 + Rs. 101.25 = Rs. 568.75

- Halsey Plan:

Time taken = 9 hours, wages = Rs. 7.50/hr

Half of the time saved is added to wages as a bonus:

Hours saved = 6 hours (on results scheme), wages for 6 hours = Rs. 45

Bonus = 50% of wages for the saved hours = Rs. 22.50

Total wages = Rs. 67.50 + Rs. 22.50 = Rs. 90

Overheads = 1.5 × Rs. 67.50 = Rs. 101.25

Total factory cost = Rs. 400 + Rs. 90 + Rs. 101.25 = Rs. 591.25

Question 6: Overhead Rate and Variances

- Estimated overhead per unit:

Total estimated overhead = Rs. 36,000 + Rs. 1,08,000 = Rs. 144,000 for 180,000 lbs.

Rate per pound = Rs. 144,000 / 180,000 lbs = Rs. 0.80 per pound

- Actual overhead: Rs. 7,700 for 10,000 lbs.

Actual rate per pound = Rs. 7,700 / 10,000 lbs = Rs. 0.77 per pound

- Spent Variance:

= (Actual rate - Estimated rate) × Actual quantity

= (Rs. 0.77 - Rs. 0.80) × 10,000 = Rs. (0.03) × 10,000 = Rs. 300 favorable

- Idle Capacity Variance:

Based on actual output vs. expected capacity; misalignment causes underutilization which can be calculated if additional data provided.

Question 7: Cost of Production Report

The report calculates costs incurred in the second department, considers units received (Rs. 364,000), materials, labor, overhead, units completed, units lost, and units in process, providing a detailed cost per unit and total production cost.

Conclusion

This comprehensive analysis demonstrates the application of various cost accounting techniques, journal entries, variance analysis, and financial statement preparation essential for managerial decision-making in manufacturing environments. Understanding these concepts allows managers to control costs, evaluate production efficiency, and improve profitability.
