The Mezcal Manufacturing Company has a mature JIT production system with average cycle time of less than one day. Total time from receipt of raw material to completion of finished product is less than three days. The company uses a finished goods account and a combined raw and in process (RIP) inventory account; there is a separate account, entitled Supplies, for indirect factory materials. The company expenses all conversion costs to the cost of goods sold account. At the end of each month, all inventories are counted, their conversion cost components are estimated, and inventory account balances are adjusted accordingly. Raw material cost is back flushed from RIP to Finished Goods and from Finished Goods to Cost of Goods Sold.
