Final answer:
Depreciation of factory items for unsold products is reflected as 'ending inventory' while depreciation for goods in process is reflected as 'work in progress' (WIP), both on the balance sheet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of depreciation for the period of factory related items that pertains to the products that were produced during the current period but that remain unsold at the end of the period is reflected as ending inventory in the balance sheet.
The depreciation related to these items is not expensed on the income statement but rather included in the carrying value of the inventory. In contrast, the amount of depreciation for the period that pertains to the goods that were partially processed during the current period and that remains in process at the end of the period is reflected as work in progress (WIP), which is a type of inventory on the balance sheet. This depreciation is also added to the cost of the WIP and not expensed on the income statement until the goods are finished and sold.
The amount of depreciation for the period of factory related items that pertains to the products that were produced during the current period but remain unsold at the end of the period is reflected as inventory depreciation. This reflects the decrease in value of the unsold goods over time.
The amount of depreciation for the period that pertains to the goods that were partially processed during the current period and that remain in process at the end of the period is reflected as work-in-progress depreciation. This reflects the decrease in value of the goods that are still being manufactured.
