Cevap: Royalties paid to a designer based on the specific number of units produced

Cevap

Royalties paid to a designer based on the specific number of units produced
Royalties paid per unit produced are direct expenses because they can be traced completely to individual manufactured items. Adding direct expenses to direct materials and direct labor gives Prime Cost.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Understand the components of Prime Cost
Prime Cost consists of direct materials, direct labor, and direct expenses.
Prime Cost includes all expenditure directly traceable to the physical unit of production.
2
Identify the nature of direct expenses
Direct expenses are expenses other than direct materials and direct labor incurred specifically for a particular product or batch (e.g., royalties paid per unit produced or specialized equipment hire).
Royalties paid on a per-unit basis can be directly attributed to each item manufactured.
3
Differentiate direct expenses from indirect manufacturing overheads and non-manufacturing costs
Factory supervisor salary is indirect labor (factory overhead); carriage outwards is a selling expense; machinery purchase is capital expenditure.
Only royalties paid per unit manufactured meet the strict definition of direct expenses.

Eşleşmeler

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

Factory supervisor's salary matches Factory Overhead (Indirect Labor Cost); Depreciation of factory plant and machinery matches Factory Overhead (Indirect Expense); Carriage inwards on raw materials matches Prime Cost (Direct Material Cost); Sales manager's commission matches Selling and Distribution Expense.
Factory overheads include all indirect manufacturing expenses incurred in the factory building, such as indirect labor (factory supervisor salary) and indirect factory operational costs (depreciation of factory machinery). Direct costs related to raw material acquisition (carriage inwards) increase prime cost, whereas post-production expenses (sales commission) belong to administrative or selling expenses.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify factory overheads (indirect manufacturing costs)
Factory supervisor's salary is categorized as indirect labor, while depreciation of factory machinery is categorized as an indirect factory expense.
Indirect costs incurred within the production environment that cannot be conveniently assigned to specific units produced constitute factory overheads.
2
Identify prime cost components
Carriage inwards on raw materials is added to the cost of raw materials purchased.
Carriage inwards forms an integral part of the direct material cost required to bring raw materials to their present location and condition.
3
Distinguish manufacturing costs from selling expenses
Sales manager's commission is classified as a selling and distribution expense.
Expenses connected with the sale and distribution of finished goods are charged directly to the Profit and Loss Account rather than the Manufacturing Account.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: ₦360,000

Cevap

₦360,000
The total factory overheads calculation properly includes only indirect manufacturing costs adjusted for accruals and prepayments: adjusted factory rent (₦180,000 paid minus ₦30,000 prepaid = ₦150,000), adjusted factory supervisor salary (₦120,000 paid plus ₦15,000 accrued = ₦135,000), factory power and lighting (₦45,000), and depreciation of factory plant (₦30,000). Direct wages of ₦250,000 are a prime cost element and are correctly excluded. Summing these items yields ₦360,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify indirect costs and exclude direct costs
Direct wages of ₦250,000 are excluded because they form part of Prime Cost, not Factory Overheads.
Factory overheads only comprise indirect manufacturing costs.
2
Adjust indirect expenses for prepayments and accruals
Adjusted Factory Rent = ₦180,000 - ₦30,000 (prepayment) = ₦150,000. Adjusted Supervisor Salary = ₦120,000 + ₦15,000 (accrual) = ₦135,000.
Prepaid expenses relate to future periods and must be deducted, while accrued expenses relate to the current period and must be added.
3
Sum all indirect manufacturing costs to find total factory overheads
Total Factory Overheads = ₦150,000 (Rent) + ₦135,000 (Supervisor Salary) + ₦45,000 (Power & Lighting) + ₦30,000 (Depreciation) = ₦360,000.
The manufacturing account aggregates all indirect factory expenses to determine total factory overheads.

Eşleşmeler

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

Royalty paid per unit of item produced matches with direct expense in Prime Cost; Factory supervisor's salary and plant depreciation matches with indirect manufacturing costs under Factory Overheads; Net decrease in Work-in-Progress matches with being added to Prime Cost and Factory Overheads; Carriage inwards on raw materials matches with being added to direct materials cost to find cost of raw materials consumed.
Each item is correctly matched according to standard cost accounting rules for manufacturing accounts: Carriage inwards adds to raw materials cost, royalties form part of direct expenses within Prime Cost, supervisory salaries and plant depreciation are factory overheads, and a net decrease in WIP increases the overall cost of production.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Classify direct costs
Identify that raw material carriage inwards increases the raw material purchase cost, while unit-based production royalties are direct expenses forming part of Prime Cost.
Direct costs are expenses directly traceable to the unit of output.
2
Classify indirect costs
Group factory supervisor salaries and plant depreciation into Factory Overheads.
Indirect manufacturing costs support production but cannot be assigned directly to individual units.
3
Apply Work-in-Progress adjustment rules
Determine that a net decrease in WIP (Opening WIP>Closing WIPOpening\ WIP > Closing\ WIP) represents additional cost absorbed during the period, thereby increasing the Cost of Production.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 332000

Cevap

The total prime cost of the manufacturing entity for the year is ₦332,000.
Prime cost is calculated by summing direct materials consumed (₦199,500), direct labour adjusted for accruals (₦110,000), and direct expenses such as production royalties (₦22,500). Indirect items like factory rent, machinery depreciation, and supervisor salaries are factory overheads and are excluded from prime cost, giving a final answer of ₦332,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the cost of raw materials consumed during the production period
Raw Materials Consumed = ₦45,000 + ₦185,000 + ₦12,500 - ₦8,000 - ₦35,000 = ₦199,500
Carriage inwards is added to purchases to obtain the total cost of raw materials delivered, returns outwards are deducted, and closing stock is subtracted to determine materials actually used in production.
2
Adjust direct wages paid for accrued wages at the end of the financial period
Direct Labour = ₦95,000 + ₦15,000 = ₦110,000
Under the accrual concept of accounting, incurred costs belonging to the period must be added to payments made.
3
Identify direct expenses attributable directly to production
Direct Expenses = Royalties on production = ₦22,500
Royalties paid per unit produced are direct expenses because they vary directly with output.
4
Sum all direct cost components to find Prime Cost
Prime Cost = ₦199,500 + ₦110,000 + ₦22,500 = ₦332,000
Prime cost is the aggregate of direct materials consumed, direct labour, and direct expenses. Indirect factory costs such as factory rent (₦40,000), plant depreciation (₦18,000), and supervisor salary (₦30,000) are factory overheads and must be excluded.

Cevap: 360000

Cevap

The total Cost of Production for the year is ₦360,000.
The Cost of Production is correctly determined by summing Prime Cost (₦307,000) and Factory Overheads (₦56,000), giving a gross production cost of ₦363,000, and adjusting for work-in-progress by adding opening WIP (₦28,000) and deducting closing WIP (₦31,000) to arrive at ₦360,000.

A manufacturing enterprise transfers finished goods from its factory to the trading section at a mark-up of 25%25\% on manufacturing cost. For the financial year ended 31 December 2025, the opening inventory of finished goods at transfer price was 30,000\text{₦}30,000 with an existing provision for unrealized profit of 6,000\text{₦}6,000. The closing inventory of finished goods at transfer price was 45,000\text{₦}45,000. What is the amount of provision for unrealized profit to be debited to the Profit and Loss Account for the year?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 3,000\text{₦}3,000

Cevap

The amount to be debited to the Profit and Loss Account as provision for unrealized profit is 3,000\text{₦}3,000.
To determine the provision for unrealized profit, convert the 25%25\% mark-up on cost to a margin on transfer value: 25125=20%\frac{25}{125} = 20\% (or 15\frac{1}{5}). Applying this fraction to the closing inventory transfer value of 45,000\text{₦}45,000 yields a closing provision of 9,000\text{₦}9,000. Subtracting the existing opening provision of 6,000\text{₦}6,000 gives a net increase of 3,000\text{₦}3,000, which is debited to the Profit and Loss Account.

1
Convert mark-up on cost to profit margin on transfer price.
Margin=Mark-up100+Mark-up=25125=15 or 20%\text{Margin} = \frac{\text{Mark-up}}{100 + \text{Mark-up}} = \frac{25}{125} = \frac{1}{5} \text{ or } 20\%.
Because inventory is valued at transfer price, the profit element contained within it must be determined using the margin ratio.
2
Calculate the total provision for unrealized profit required on closing inventory.
Closing Provision=15×45,000=9,000\text{Closing Provision} = \frac{1}{5} \times \text{₦}45,000 = \text{₦}9,000.
This isolates the profit element that remains unrealized in unsold inventory at year-end.
3
Determine the net adjustment required in the Profit and Loss Account.
Increase in Provision=9,0006,000=3,000\text{Increase in Provision} = \text{₦}9,000 - \text{₦}6,000 = \text{₦}3,000.
Only the net increase in the provision from the opening balance (6,000\text{₦}6,000) is charged to the Profit and Loss Account.

Cevap: \text{₦}137,000

Cevap

\text{₦}137,000
The value of \text{₦}137,000 is obtained by first subtracting direct labor (\text{₦}95,000) and production royalties (\text{₦}14,000) from Prime Cost (\text{₦}248,500), yielding raw materials consumed of \text{₦}139,500. Working backward through raw materials consumed (Opening Inventory + Purchases + Carriage Inwards - Closing Inventory) gives Purchases = \text{₦}139,500 - \text{₦}28,000 - \text{₦}6,500 + \text{₦}32,000 = \text{₦}137,000.

Identify direct costs and exclude factory overheads
Direct costs comprise Direct Raw Materials Consumed, Direct Wages (\text{₦}95,000), and Production Royalty (\text{₦}14,000). Factory supervisor salary (\text{₦}24,000) and plant depreciation (\text{₦}18,000) are indirect factory overheads and must be excluded.
Prime Cost includes only direct costs directly traceable to unit production.
2
Calculate Raw Materials Consumed from Prime Cost formula
\text{Prime Cost} = \text{Raw Materials Consumed} + \text{Direct Wages} + \text{Direct Expenses}
248,500=Raw Materials Consumed+95,000+14,000\text{₦}248,500 = \text{Raw Materials Consumed} + \text{₦}95,000 + \text{₦}14,000

Rearranging the Prime Cost equation isolates the total cost of raw materials consumed.
3
Calculate Raw Material Purchases using the inventory equation
Raw Materials Consumed=Opening Inventory+Purchases+Carriage InwardsClosing Inventory\text{Raw Materials Consumed} = \text{Opening Inventory} + \text{Purchases} + \text{Carriage Inwards} - \text{Closing Inventory}

A manufacturing firm transfers finished goods from the factory to the trading department at a mark-up of 20%20\% on cost. If the closing inventory of finished goods valued at transfer price is 12,000\text{₦}12,000, the provision for unrealized profit required for the closing inventory is \text{₦}.
Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

The provision for unrealized profit on closing inventory is ₦2,000.
When finished goods are transferred at a mark-up of 20%20\% on cost, the transfer price represents 120%120\% of manufacturing cost. Therefore, the profit element embedded in closing inventory at transfer price is calculated as 20120×12,000=2,000\frac{20}{120} \times \text{₦}12,000 = \text{₦}2,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Convert the mark-up on cost to the margin on transfer price.
A mark-up of 20%20\% on cost (20100\frac{20}{100}) equals a margin of 20100+20=20120=16\frac{20}{100 + 20} = \frac{20}{120} = \frac{1}{6} on transfer price.
Closing inventory is valued at transfer price, so the profit portion must be determined using the profit margin relative to transfer price.
2
Calculate the unrealized profit included in closing inventory.
Unrealized Profit = 16×12,000=2,000\frac{1}{6} \times \text{₦}12,000 = \text{₦}2,000.
The provision for unrealized profit eliminates the internal profit element included in unsold inventory at the end of the accounting period.
