Concept Introduction:
Fixed and Variable Costs in Manufacturing:
- Variable costs refer to the costs of manufacture that have a direct co-relation with the volume of the goods manufactured, i.e. the costs increase with an increase in the goods produced.
- Examples are costs of direct material and direct labor.
- Fixed costs refer to the costs of manufacture that have an inverse co-relation with the volume of the goods manufactured, i.e. the costs decrease with an increase in the goods produced.
- Examples are costs of factory rent, depreciation on plant and equipment
- Manufacturing costs are costs that are directly incurred in connection with manufacture of goods.
- Examples are Direct materials and Manufacturing Overhead
Journal Entries
- Journal entries are the first step in recording financial transactions and preparation of financial statements.
- These represent the impact of the financial transaction and demonstrate the effect on the accounts impacted in the form of debits and credits.
- Assets and expenses have debit balances and Liabilities and Incomes have credit balances
To Prepare:
Journal Entries to record transactions.

Concept Introduction:
T-Accounts
- T-Accounts are a graphical representation of the postings made to the accounts during a reporting period.
- The left side records the debit entries and the right side records the credit entries of an account.
- Depending on the nature of the account i.e. Balance Sheet or Profit and Loss Account, Income or Expense account etc. the account balances are reflected.
- In case of Asset and Expenses accounts, the opening balance will be Debit Balance and in case of Liabilities and Incomes accounts, the opening balance is Credit Balance.
- They help in analysis of the transactions impacting the accounts.

Concept Introduction:
Application of Overhead
- Overhead refers to the various types of costs associated with the costs of production.
- These can include direct over heads such as factory rent, factory electricity expenses etc or indirect overheads such as depreciation, insurance expenses etc.
- The application of overhead means allocation of costs of production that are attributable to the goods manufactured in a fixed proportion or method of allocation.
- The difference between the actual manufacturing overhead and the applied manufacturing overhead is the under application or over application of overhead.
Journal Entries
- Journal entries are the first step in recording financial transactions and preparation of financial statements.
- These represent the impact of the financial transaction and demonstrate the effect on the accounts impacted in the form of debits and credits.
- Assets and expenses have debit balances and Liabilities and Incomes have credit balances
Cost of Goods Sold
- The Schedule of Cost of Goods sold is used to compute the cost of goods sold in a particular period.
- Cost of goods sold comprises of the cost of
Goods manufactured along with the effect of the change in inventory of the finished goods.
- The cost of goods manufactured is a sum of the direct material, labor and manufacturing overhead attributable to the product.
To Compute:
Cost of Goods Sold and close balance of Manufacturing Overhead by passing suitable journal entries
Explanation of Solution
Date | Particulars | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
12.31.18 | Manufacturing Overhead | 7,000 | |
Cost of Goods Sold | 7,000 | ||
(Being Over applied overhead closed to Cost of Goods Sold) |
- The application of overhead to work in progress in a pre-determined rate often results in under or over absorption of the overhead.
- The difference between the applied overhead and the actual overhead is the under or over application of the overhead.
- When the actual overhead is greater than the applied overhead, it results in under application of the manufacturing overhead.
- When the actual overhead is less than the applied overhead, it results in over application of the manufacturing overhead.
- Over applied overhead is a favorable variance since it results in a lower than expected cost of goods sold.
- The overhead is applied at a pre-determined rate of $1.65 ($330,000 / $200,000 hours) per direct labor hour for $180,000 Labor Hours, resulting in over application of overhead since the actual manufacturing overhead is only $290,000 whereas the applied overhead is $297,000.
- The over applied Manufacturing Overhead is transferred to the cost of goods sold and it is calculated accordingly
Hence, the transaction of transferring the manufacturing overhead balance to cost of goods sold is journalized.

Concept Introduction:
Income Statement:
- Income Statement is a record of the revenues goods sold, expenses of direct and indirect nature, and the change in inventory.
- The difference between the revenues and expenses is the profit or loss for the reporting period.
- The profit or loss for the period is transferred to the Balance Sheet.
To Prepare:

Total Operating Expenses | 310,000 | |
Income From Operations | 240,000 |
- The Income statement is a record of the various expenses such as cost of goods manufactured, and revenues such as sales revenue.
- Income from operations is calculated as $240,000. This is the difference between the Gross Profit and the Operating Expenses.
- Selling and Administrative Expenses of $ 310,000 are calculated based on the various transactions occurring during the reporting period. These constitute the Total Operating Expenses.
- The difference of Net Income from Sales and Total Cost of Goods Sold is the Gross Profit.
- The Cost of Goods Sold is given as $700,000.
- The ending finished goods inventory is calculated as a difference of the Cost of Goods sold and the Cost of Goods available for Sale.
- The beginning finished goods inventory is given as $40,000. Sales of $ 1,250,000 are given.
- The cost of Goods sold is calculated by adding the beginning finished goods inventory
Hence, Income Statement has been prepared and the net income from operations is $240,000.

- San Mateo Optics, Inc., specializes in manufacturing lenses for large telescopes and cameras used in space exploration. As the specifications for the lenses are determined by the customer and vary considerably, the company uses a job-order costing system. Manufacturing overhead is applied to jobs on the basis of direct labor hours, utilizing the absorption- or full-costing method. San Mateos predetermined overhead rates for 20x1 and 20x2 were based on the following estimates. Jim Cimino, San Mateos controller, would like to use variable (direct) costing for internal reporting purposes as he believes statements prepared using variable costing are more appropriate for making product decisions. In order to explain the benefits of variable costing to the other members of San Mateos management team, Cimino plans to convert the companys income statement from absorption costing to variable costing. He has gathered the following information for this purpose, along with a copy of San Mateos 20x1 and 20x2 comparative income statement. San Mateo Optics, Inc. Comparative Income Statement For the Years 20x1 and 20x2 San Mateos actual manufacturing data for the two years are as follows: The companys actual inventory balances were as follows: For both years, all administrative expenses were fixed, while a portion of the selling expenses resulting from an 8 percent commission on net sales was variable. San Mateo reports any over-or underapplied overhead as an adjustment to the cost of goods sold. Required: 1. For the year ended December 31, 20x2, prepare the revised income statement for San Mateo Optics, Inc., utilizing the variable-costing method. Be sure to include the contribution margin on the revised income statement. 2. Describe two advantages of using variable costing rather than absorption costing.
