When you prepare the financial statements for a manufacturer, you must prepare a schedule of cost of goods manufactured. A manufacturer did not purchase the product that it is selling—it built the product. The schedule of cost of goods manufactured reports the total manufacturing costs for the period and the dollar amount for cost of goods manufactured for the period. The dollar amounts that appear on the schedule of cost of goods manufactured are the same as those that appear in the raw materials and work in process inventories shown on the previous page. The only difference is that you will provide a detailed breakdown of the factory overhead costs, which was not provided (though it could have been) in the work in process inventory calculation shown on the previous page.

Calculations:
The total for cost of goods manufactured from the statement of cost of goods manufactured ($1,000,000 in this example) is the amount used in the cost of goods sold section of the income statement.
Assuming that the company produced 5,000 units during the year, you would calculate the cost per unit of production as follows:
