An Introduction to Cost Terms

Costs and Cost Objects
Cost
a resource sacrificed or foregone to achieve a specific
objective
Cost Object
any product, machine, service or process for which
cost information is accumulated
cost objects can vary in size from an entire company,
to a division or program within the company, or down
to a single product or service
7
Direct and Indirect Costs
Direct Cost
a cost which is related to a particular cost objective
and can be traced to it in an economically feasible way
Indirect Cost
a cost which is related a particular cost objective but
cannot be traced to it in an economically feasible way
indirect costs are allocated to cost objectives

Variable and Fixed Costs
Variable Cost
a cost which is constant per unit R
s
but changes in total in proportion
to changes in the output
materials (parts), fuel costs for a
trucking company
Volume
Fixed Cost R
a cost which does not change in s
total as volume changes but
changes on a per-unit basis as the
cost driver increases and decreases
amortization, insurance Volume
10
Total Costs and Unit Costs
Average cost
= Total manufacturing costs / Number of units produced
= Rs980,000 / 10,000
= Rs98 per unit
12
Period and Product Costs
Period Costs
are expensed on the income statement as they are
incurred
also called operating costs (excluding cost of goods
sold)
examples: selling, general and administrative costs
Product Costs
are inventoried on the balance sheet and expensed
only when the product or service is sold
also called inventoriable costs
Examples: materials and labour (manufacturing)
13
Costing System Terminology
Cost Object
anything for which a separate measurement of costs
is desired
Cost Pool
a grouping of individual cost items

Costing Systems
Job-Costing Process-Costing
System System
Costs are assigned to a Costs are assigned to
distinct unit or batch a mass of similar units
Resources are Resources are used to
expended to bring a mass-produce a
distinct product or product or service and
service to market for a not for any specific
specific customer customer
advertising campaign, Postal delivery, oil
audit, aircraft assembly refining
17
Job Costing Approach
1. Identify the cost object(s)
2. Identify the direct costs for the cost object(s)
3. Select cost-allocation bases to use in allocating the
indirect costs to the cost object(s)
4. Identify the indirect costs associated with each
cost-allocation base
5. Compute the rate per unit of each cost-allocation
base to allocate indirect costs to the cost object(s)
6. Compute the indirect costs allocated to the cost
object(s)
7. Determine the cost of the cost object(s) by adding
the direct and indirect costs

Cost Sheet
21
Cost Sheet
It is a statement designed to show the output of
a particular accounting period along with
breakup of cost.
It is a memorandum statement
It does not form part of double entry cost
accounting records.
It discloses the total cost and cost per unit.
It helps
To fix Selling Price.
To submit quotation price.
To Control cost.

Elements of Cost
Direct Material :-
Identify in the product
Easily measure & directly charge to the product
e.g. Timber in furniture making
Categories
raw material
Specifically purchased for specific job or process
Parts or components purchased.
e.g. tyres for cycles
Primary Packing material
to protect finished product
for easy handling inside the factory.
24
Direct Labour :-
Labour engaged in
converting raw material into finished goods
Altering the construction
Actual Production
Composition of Product
i.e labour which can be attributed to a particular job,product
or process
Exception :- Where the cost is not significant like
wages of trainees- their labour though directly
spent on product is not treated as direct Labour
Test:-
Easily Identify
Feasible to Identify
25
Overheads :- It may be defined as the aggregate of the cost of
indirect materials, indirect labour and such other expenses
including services as cant conveniently be charged direct
to specific cost unit.
Categories:-
Manufacturing Overheads
Administration of machines
Selling & distribution of machines
26
Standard Costing
27
Why is Standard Costing Used?
A standard is a preestablished
benchmark for desirable performance.
A standard is a preestablished
benchmark for desirable performance.
29
. Standard cost is the Predetermined cost
based on a technical estimate for material, labor and
overhead for a selected period of time
and for a specified set of working conditions.

(indirect Labor Cost) and indirect

Marginal Costing:-

Features of Marginal Costing:
72
Revenue
73
Profit
Profit = TR TC
Normal Profit the minimum amount
required to keep a business in a
particular line of production
Abnormal/Supernormal Profit the amount
over and above the amount needed to
keep a business in its current line of
production
74
Marginal Cost Equation
Therefore,
Contribution = S.P. V.C. or
Contribution = Fixed Cost + Profit
