Step by step solution

01

Inventory

Inventory means the raw material used by the company in manufacturing the final product which can be consumed by the customers. It is considered as the current asset of the company and shown in the balance sheet.

02

Flow of manufacturing process

The manufacturing process flows from assembly department to cutting department from cutting department to packaging department and then to finishing department. Afterwards, the flow is from finishing department to finished goods inventory and when the goods are sold, it is transferred to the cost of goods sold.

It is clear from the example, the company engaged in manufacturing the puzzles, first assemble the cardboard and the picture with the help of glue. After that the cardboard is cutted into puzzle pieces and transferred to the packaging department for packing. The final packed product is transferred to the finished goods inventory and to the cost of goods sold once the goods are sold to the customers.
