Statement of Cost of Goods Manufactured and Sold
Statement of Cost of Goods Manufactured and Sold
The statement of cost of goods manufactured supports the cost of goods sold figure on the income
statement. The two most important numbers on this statement are the total manufacturing cost and
the cost of goods manufactured. Be careful not to confuse the terms total manufacturing cost and cost
of goods manufactured with each other or with the cost of goods sold.
Total Manufacturing Cost includes the costs of all resources put into production during the period
(meaning, the direct materials, direct labor and overhead applied).
Cost of goods manufactured consists of the cost of all goods completed during the period. It includes
total manufacturing costs plus the beginning work in process inventory minus the ending work in
process inventory.
Cost of goods sold are the costs of all goods SOLD during the period and includes the cost of goods
manufactured plus the beginning finished goods inventory minus the ending finished goods inventory.
Cost of goods sold is reported in the income statement and deducted from sales to arrive at the gross
profit.
