The movement of completed items from manufacturing to finished goods inventories is shown by arrow line 9. According to the process cost summary, the cost of 100,000 completed Profane units is $24,200. This transfer is documented in the following entry.
The credit to Goods in Process Inventory decreases the asset balance to reflect the fact that 100,000 units are no longer being manufactured. These units' costs have been moved to Finished Goods Inventory, resulting in a $24,200 rise in this asset. After this item is submitted, the Goods in Process Inventory account still has a balance of $2,860, which is the amount computed in Step 4 before. The cost of products made is the cost of units shifted from Goods in Process Inventory to Finished Goods Inventory. indicates the activity for this period in the Goods in Process Inventory account The account's ending balance matches the cost attributed to the partially finished units in section.
The sale of finished items is represented by arrow line 10. Assume GenX sold 106,000 pieces of Profane over this time period and had a starting inventory of completed products of 26,000 units at a cost of $6,292. Assume it also has an ending finished products inventory of 20,000 units at a cost of $4,840. Using this data, we can calculate its cost of goods sold for April, as shown below.
The summary entry to record cost of goods sold for this period follows.
