If finished goods inventory increases between the beginning and the end of the year, then the cost of goods sold is smaller than the cost of goods manufactured. true or false
Answer :True
Cost of Goods Sold is Smaller than the Cost of Goods Manufactured.
Since the Finished Goods Increased During the year, All the goods Manufacturing are not sold. Cost of Goods Sold is the cost for all the goods Whereas the Cost of Goods Sold is the cost incurred to Manufacture the goods sold and to find cost of goods sold we just add beginning finished goods inventory and deduct ending finished goods inventory in cost of goods manufactured for the year.
Suppose cost of goods manufacture $100,000 beginning finished goods inventory $5,000 and ending finished goods inventory $10,000
Cost of goods sold:-
Cost of goods manufactured | $100,000 |
Add: beginning finished goods inventory | $5,000 |
Less: ending finished goods inventory | $10,000 |
Cost of goods sold | $95,000 |
In this way we can say that cost of goods sold is smaller than the cost of goods manufactured if finished goods inventory increases between the beginning and the end of the year.
