    Sir in the material cost account
    We usually
    debit
    opening balance
    Purchases
    Return to stores

    Credit
    Issues to production
    Returns to suppliers
    Production overheads
    Statement of profit and loss

    So does this mean that if a business makes a profit in the income statement
    This will be debited in the material cost account?

    And if the business makes a loss it would be credit in the material cost account?

    No. Any profit or loss is transferred to the capital account (if a sole trader) or to retained earnings (if a limited company).

    However this is relevant for Paper FA and is not relevant for Paper MA.
