Manufacturing accounts and prime/production cost, and reconstructing incomplete records.
Manufacturing accounts
For firms that make their goods, a manufacturing account finds the cost of production:
- Prime cost = direct materials + direct labour + direct expenses.
- Production cost = prime cost + factory (indirect) overheads + adjustment for work-in-progress.
The production cost replaces "purchases" in the trading account.
