Cost of Raw Materials Consumed
Opening inventory of Raw Materials 31000
Add Purchases of Raw Materials 261000
Add Carriage inwards of Raw Materials 2500
294500
Less closing inventory of Raw Materials (46400)
Cost of Raw Materials Consumed 248100
Add Direct Cost
Manufacturing wages 166000
Direct expenses 9200 175200
Prime Cost 423300
Add Factory Overheads
Supervisory wages 42800
Factory rent 36000
Depreciation of factory machinery 13800 92600
Cost of production at cost price 515900
Add Factory Profit (40% X 515900) 206360
Cost of production at transfer price 722260
Or
Opening inventory transfer price – Opening inventory at cost
= 58 800 – [58 800 / (1+0.4)]
= 58 800 – 42 000 = $16 800
Closing inventory at cost price
Cost per unit at cost = Cost of production cost price / Number of units produced
= 515900 / 10318
= $50
Or
Closing inventory at transfer price
Cost per unit at transfer price
= Cost of production transfer price / number of units produced
= 722260 / 10318
= $70
