What is the budgeted cost of goods manufactured?

Intermediate

Answer

The cost of goods manufactured budget totals the production cost of units completed in the period: direct materials used + direct labour + production overheads, adjusted for opening and closing work-in-progress. It feeds the cost of goods sold budget and, ultimately, the budgeted income statement.
DM used + DL + Prod OH +/- WIP change = Cost of goods manufactured.
Real-world example The cost of goods manufactured budget aggregates production costs before deriving cost of sales.
