My Dear Seniors, Please Highlight the treatment of Indirect materials. Whether these would be pooled into the Factory overheads only or Be deducted from the "material used" in order to arrive at the Direct material used because in calculating for CGS we require Direct material along with the Direcr labour.

Hi zikria ,
I have understand your question that if the only problem is to solve this question .it is so easy for you because all the point are mension in preparation of cost of good sold statement.(from the above question indirect materail is the FOH so it will be including only in FOH and not be duducted from the direct material )

AOA ,
I THING IT WILL BE SOLVED AS WELL

Dear
Thanks
For your detailed answer. I am confused just because of
the treatement of Indirect meterial.

When we add and less the raw material inventories, we arrived at material consumed, which may be a combination of Indirect and Direct Materials, whereas, while computing for the CGS we require the DIRECT Material to add with the Direct labour, FOH, WIP etc.

So, please tell me on what grounds Indirect material is not deducted from the Material Used.

I am confused.

AOA ,
For you kind information in cost acounting there is difference b/w Direct and indirect materail or also in direct and indirect labour .indirect materail and indirect labours are always known as the subject of FOH .in other words indirect materail and indirect labour never Add or duduct from DIrect materail in preparation of income statement .I thing you have to learn more about mateial and labour concept in Accounting.
any how i will say you that indirect materail is FOH like that of other FOH and it will always includes in FOH and not in direct materail.

Thanks for your kind help. Actually in B.com Part 2, our teacher of cost accounting had told us wrong concepts about the cost accounting and various other elements of cost.

After entering into professional studies i thought that more than 50% of our concepts are wrong and i am trying to make deep understandings to correct them.

Thanks.
