    Cost Accounting problems, Inventory cost updating
    How to update the inventory for manufacturing company?
    Example:

    Original inventory: ($)

    Part 1, 1000
    part 2, 2000
    part 3, 3000
    part 4, 4000

    Now, we pull out part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4 out to build Part A as inventory
    let's say, the cost of Part A will be (1000+2000+3000+4000)(material)+3000(Labour)+3600( Overhead)= 16600

    How should I update the inventory cost, Entry?

    Your help will be appreciated.:(

    Inventory costs? Inventory costs is only the material. Inv vs COGS Mater, the other entries would be for the labor and ovhead in COGS

    Your welcome... Good luck in your career... Cost Accounting is a good start and way more fun than corporate accounting (general)... but perhaps I am biased since I'm a controller for a manufacturing corporation!

    Hehehehehe, Yes, I think cost accounting has much more fun than general accounting. Just too much pressure for me since I am the only one who is doing cost accounting work in my company, that is a new manufacturing LLC.
    I have to go to the factories, and go through all those processes. I doubt I would be an expert of production in the near future. ;)
