 ACCOUNTING FOR SPOILED GOODS

Spoiled goods are goods that have been damaged through imperfect machining or
processing. Spoiled goods cannot be corrected because it is not technically possible or
economical to correct them.
Illustration:
Assume that Job 911 calls for the production of 200 painted office tables. These tables
were put into production and costs accumulated to date are as follows:

Materials P 456,000
Direct labor 240,000
Applied overhead (150% of DL cost) 360,000
Total cost charged to Job 911 P1,056,000

Unit cost (P1,056,000/200) P 5,280.00

Suppose that the ten tables are spoiled because the lumber used was improperly cured.
These spoiled tables may be sold as seconds at its net disposal value of P3,000 each.

 Spoilage Attributable to a Specific Job ( Due to Customer Specifications)

1) To removed estimated disposal value of spoiled goods from Work in Process:


Spoiled Goods Inventory 30,000
Work in Process Inventory 30,000

2) To record the cost of the completed inventory.


Finished Goods Inventory 1.026,000
Work in Process Inventory 1,026,000

 Spoilage Common to All Jobs (Due to Internal Failure)


1) To record estimated sales value of spoiled goods and charged loss to MOH
control:
Spoiled Goods Inventory 30,000
Manufacturing Overhead Control 22,800
Work in Process Inventory 52,800

2) To record the cost of the completed good inventory. Finished Goods


Inventory 1.003,200
Work in Process Inventory 1,003,200

 Comparison of the Accounting Treatment:


Spoiled Cost Charged to
Particular Job All Production
Total Cost of 200 tables P 1,056,000 P 1,056,000
Less: Scrap Value of Job 911 30,000 -
All Production _____-____ 52,800
Cost of Good Tables 1,026,000 1,003,200
Divided by Good Tables 190 190
Unit Cost of good tables P 5,400 P 5,280

 ACCOUNTING FOR DEFECTIVE GOODS (Rework Costs)


Defective goods are units of production that fail to meet production standards but that
can be brought up to standard by adding more materials, labor and overhead.
Rework costs are the additional costs required to bring defective goods to standard.

Illustration:
Assume the ten spoiled tables from the previous illustration are reworked. The journal
entry to record the total costs of the ten spoiled goods before considering rework costs is:

Work in Process Inventory 52,800


Materials 22,800
Payroll 12,000
Applied Mfg. Overhead 18,000

Assume that the ten spoiled tables are reworked. The additional costs of reworking the
tables equal P9,500 of which P2,000 direct materials, P3,000 direct labor and P4,500
manufacturing overhead.

 Rework Cost charged to Specific Job 1) To record


rework costs of 10 tables:
Work in Process Inventory 9,500
Materials 2,000
Payroll 3,000
Applied Mfg. Overhead 4,500

2) To record cost of ten tables transferred to Finished goods after reworked is done.
Finished Goods Inventory 62,300
Work in Process Inventory 62,300

 Rework Cost Charged to All Jobs


Manufacturing Overhead Control 9,500
Materials 2,000
Payroll 3,000
Applied Mfg. Overhead 4,500

 Comparison of the Accounting Treatment
