Sample Problem with Solution:

The Smart Manufacturing Company has a cycle time of 3.0 days, uses a Raw and In Process
account and charges all conversion costs to the Cost of Goods Sold. At the end of each month,
all inventories are counted, their conversion cost components are estimated and inventory
account balances are adjusted. Raw material cost is backflushed from RIP to Finished Goods.
The following information is for the month of June.
Materials purchased on credit P146,000
RIP beginning, including P4,400 of conversion costs 15,000
RIP ending, including P7,800 of conversion costs 24,000
FG beginning, including P10,800 of conversion costs 36,000
FG ending, including P6,500 of conversion costs 18,000
Conversion cost - P80,000 direct labor and P100,000 overhead

Requirement:
Prepare the journal entries to record the above transactions.

Answers:
1. Raw and In Process P146,000
Accounts Payable P146,000

*To record materials purchased on credit.

2. Cost of Goods Sold P180,000


Accrued Payroll P80,000
FOH Applied P100,000

*To apply conversion costs.


*We record this entry because it is mentioned in the problem that all conversion
costs are charged directly to Cost of Goods Sold. In this entry, we assumed that
ALL conversion costs are sold even though it is obvious that there are still
conversion costs left in the inventory because we still have an ending balance of
Finished Goods which includes P6,500 OF CONVERSION COSTS. Because of
that ending balance, we will have an adjusting entry for Cost of Goods Sold
which is shown in journal entry #5.

3. Finished Goods P140,400


Raw and In Process P140,400

*To backflush the raw materials from RIP to FG.


*It is the RAW MATERIALS PORTION of Cost of Goods Manufactured.
*Computation for journal entry #3:
Raw materials in RIP beginning (15,000 - 4,400) P10,600
Raw materials purchased 146,000
Raw materials in RIP ending (24,000 - 7,800) (16,200)
Raw materials in Cost of Goods Manufactured P140,400

4. Cost of Goods Sold P154,100


Finished Goods P154,100

*To backflush the raw materials from FG to COGS


*It is the RAW MATERIALS PORTION of Cost of Goods Sold
*Computation for journal entry #4:
Raw materials in FG beginning (36,000 - 10,800) P25,200
Raw materials transferred from RIP to FG or the
raw materials in Cost of Goods Manufactured 140,400
Raw materials in FG ending (18,000 - 6,500) (11,500)
Raw materials that were sold P154,100

5. Cost of Goods Sold P900


Raw and In Process (7,800 - 4,400) 3,400
Finished Goods (10,800 - 6,500) P4,300

*To adjust the Cost of Goods Sold since the journal entry #2 is still unadjusted.
*Computation for journal entry #5:
Conversion Costs applied in journal entry #2 P180,000
Conversion cost in RIP beginning 4,400
Conversion cost RIP ending (7,800)
Conversion cost in Cost of Goods Manufactured P176,600
Conversion cost in FG beginning 10,800
Conversion cost in FG ending (6,500)
Conversion cost in Cost of Goods Sold (adjusted amount) P180,900

*Why debit COGS P900?


P180,900 should be the amount of Cost of Goods Sold but we recorded
P180,000 in journal entry #2, that’s why we have to adjust it by
DEBITING/adding P900.

*Why debit RIP P3,400?


CC in RIP beg 4,400 there is an INCREASE of 3,400 that’s
CC in RIP end 7,800 why we have to adjust RIP by
DEBITING/ adding 3,400
*Why credit FG P4,300?
CC in FG beg 10,800 there is a DECREASE of 4,300 that’s
CC in FG end 6,500 why we have to adjust FG by
CREDITING/ subtracting 4,300
