Solution

To calculate the missing data in the statement of cost of goods manufactured and sold, we need to follow these steps:

  1. Calculate the conversion costs: Manufacturing overheads absorbed to production amount to 65% of conversion costs. Therefore, the conversion costs are R2,018,250 / 0.65 = R3,104,231.

  2. Calculate the direct materials used in production: Current manufacturing costs (R4,695,000) comprise of direct material, direct labour and absorbed manufacturing overheads. Since we have already calculated the conversion costs (which include direct labour and absorbed manufacturing overheads), we can subtract this from the total manufacturing costs to find the direct materials. So, direct materials = R4,695,000 - R3,104,231 = R1,590,769.

  3. Calculate the opening inventory of work in process: This is given as R262,500.

  4. Calculate the closing inventory of work in process: This is the value we need to find. We can use the formula: Opening work in process + Direct materials + Direct labour + Manufacturing overheads - Closing work in process = Cost of goods manufactured. Rearranging this formula gives us: Closing work in process = Opening work in process + Direct materials + Direct labour + Manufacturing overheads - Cost of goods manufactured. We have all the values except for the cost of goods manufactured.

  5. Calculate the cost of goods manufactured: This is the total manufacturing costs (R4,695,000) plus the opening inventory of raw materials (R112,500) minus the closing inventory of raw materials (R150,000). So, cost of goods manufactured = R4,695,000 + R112,500 - R150,000 = R4,657,500.

  6. Now we can calculate the closing inventory of work in process: Closing work in process = R262,500 + R1,590,769 + R3,104,231 - R4,657,500 = R299,000.

  7. The closing inventory of finished goods can be calculated in a similar way, using the formula: Opening finished goods + Cost of goods manufactured - Cost of goods sold = Closing finished goods. However, without the cost of goods sold, we cannot calculate this value.

So, the missing values are R299,000 for the closing inventory of work in process, and the closing inventory of finished goods cannot be calculated with the given information.
