MEANING OF COST ACCOUNTING
It is a process of recording, classifying, analyzing, summarizing,
allocating and evaluating various alternative courses of action for the
control of costs
DEFINITION OF COST ACCOUNTING
The Institute of Cost and Management Accountant, England (ICMA)
has defined ―Cost Accounting as – ―the process of accounting for the
costs from the point at which expenditure incurred, to the establishment
of its ultimate relationship with cost centres and cost units‖

SCOPE OF COST ACCOUNTING
TM
Cost unit - A cost unit is a unit of product or unit of service
Cost driver - A cost driver is any factor that influences costs.
A change in the cost driver will lead to a change in the total
cost
Cost Control - Cost control is related to achieving the cost
target as its objectives
Cost Reduction - Cost reduction is directed to explore the
possibility of improving the targets themselves
Cost Methods - Job costing, Contract costing, Batch costing,
Process costing, Operation costing, Output costing, Services
costing.

It is expensive system of Accounting
It is unnecessary method
It is system of estimations and probabilities
Lack of trained professionals
Non cooperation from middle and bottom level managers
It is more complex
Not suitable for small scale units
BPZ5A/BPG5B - COST ACCOUNTING 10
LIMITATIONS OF COST ACCOUNTING
TM
Meaning - The common cost accounting system is not suitable for all
business units. It depends upon the nature of business and the type of product
manufactured.
For the successful functioning of the costing system, the following conditions
are essential:
Efficient system of material control.
A sound and well-designed method of wage payment
Sound basis for collection of all indirect expenses
The integration of cost and financial accounts
The use of printed forms so as to facilitate quick compilation of cost reports.
The duties and responsibilities of cost accountant must be made clear.

According to CIMA London
Cost Sheet is ‗A statement which provides for the assembly of the
detailed cost of a centre or a cost unit‘. It is also a periodical
statement.
‗The expenditure which has been incurred upon product for a period
is extracted from the financial books and the store records and set
out in a memorandum statement.
If this statement is confined to the disclosure of the costs of units
produced dividing the period, it is termed as Cost- Sheet, but where
the statement records both total cost, profit and sales, it is usually
known as Statement of Cost or Production Account‘.

TM
A manufacturing concern may adopt either Integrated Accounting System or
Non- Integral Accounting System. Under Integrated Accounting System,
only one set of books is maintained to record both costing and financial
transaction, therefore, under this system, both financial accounts and cost
accounts give similar results.
But in Non- Integral Accounting System, separate books are maintained for
costing and financial transactions, which may exhibit different results i.e.
profits or losses. In other words, when cost accounts and financial accounts
are maintained independently by a concern, the profit or loss shown by the
cost accounts may not agree with the profit or loss shown by the financial
accounts. In this situation.
It is needed to reconcile the profits or losses shown differently by cost
accounts and financial account by preparing a statement called ' Cost
Reconciliation Statement‘

TM
1. Reconciliation helps to check the arithmetical accuracy of both sets of
accounts.
2. Management is enable to know the reasons for the difference in
results of both cost and financial accounts.
3. Reconciliation explains reasons for difference which facilitate internal
control.
4. Reconciliation ensures the reliability of cost data.
5. Reconciliation promotes co-ordination between cost and financial
departments.
6. Reconciliation helps in formulation of policies regarding absorption of
overheads and depreciation and stock valuation method.
7. Reconciliation ensures managerial decision-making.

Introduction to Materials
Material costs are the costs of acquiring of material resources necessary for
business.
Raw materials and semi-finished products costs. The cost of
acquiring the necessary raw materials and semi-finished products belongs
to this group. This group of material costs is often the largest.
Fuel and energy costs. Acquisition costs of gasoline, machine oil, gas,
solid fuel, electricity, heat belong to this group.
Packaging costs. Acquisition costs of various containers (boxes, bales,
boxes) belong to these costs.
Spare parts costs. Expenses of spare parts used to repair equipment,
machinery or vehicles.
Building materials costs. The cost of building materials arise when the
company is building new facilities or making renovation of existing facilities.
Other material cost. All material costs which are not included in the
above groups related to other expenses. It may be, for example, waste
production or other costs.

ECONOMIC ORDERING QUANTITY
(EOQ)
The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is the number of units that a
company should add to inventory with each order to minimize the total
costs of inventory—such as holding costs, order costs, and shortage
costs.
FORMULA FOR EOQ
BPZ5A/BPG5B - COST ACCOUNTING 26

Stock level refers to the different levels of stock which are required
for an efficient and effective control of materials and to avoid over
and under-stocking of materials. The purpose of materials control is
to maintain the sock of raw materials as low as possible and at the
same time they may be available as and when required. To avoid
over and under-stocking, the storekeeper must fix the inventory
level, which is also known as a demand and supply method of
stock control. In a scientific system of inventory control the
following levels of materials are fixed.
1. Re-order Level
2. Minimum Level Or Safety Level
3. Maximum Level
4. Average stock Level
5.. Danger Level
CONCEPT AND MEANING OF STOCK
LEVEL
BPZ5A/BPG5B - COST ACCOUNTING 28
TM
Maximum Level of Stock = (Reorder Level + Reorder Quantity) –
(Minimum rate of consumption x Minimum
reorder period)
Minimum level of stock = Reorder level – (Average rate of consumption x
Average reorder period)
Reorder level or Ordering level = Maximum rate of consumption ×
Maximum reorder period
Average Stock level = (Maximum stock level + Minimum stock level) /2
or
Minimum Stock level + 14 Reorder Quantity
Danger level = Minimum rate of consumption × Emergency delivery time

LABOUR COST
BPZ5A/BPG5B - COST ACCOUNTING 43
TM
Labour cost - Meaning
It is classified as direct and indirect. They form the labour cost which in turn
forms a significant percentage of the total cost of production in a
manufacturing or service organization. Minimizing costs does not mean
reducing cost but means getting optimal and efficient productivity from the
employees.
Purposes of Labour Cost
• To calculate the correct gross and net wages for each employee.
• For financial accounting purposes.
• For management accounting purposes (i.e. stock valuation)
• Decision making and control purposes
Elements of Labour Cost.
• Basic Wages.
• Overtime premium
• Bonus payment
• Idle time
• Labour turnover

LABOUR TURNOVER
MEANING - A measure of the proportion of people leaving relative to the
average number of people employed over a period of time. This rate
should be kept as low as possible. Management might wish to monitor
labour turnover so that control.
Causes of Labour Turnover
Avoidable Unavoidable
i) Poor remuneration. i) Illness, death.
ii) Lack of training opportunities ii) Retirement
iii) Lack of promotion prospects. iii) Relocation, redeployment
iv) Poor working conditions. iv) Family matters.
v) Bullying in work place (Harassment).
LABOUR TURNOVER
BPZ5A/BPG5B - COST ACCOUNTING 49
TM
1. Calculating Labour Turnover by Separation Method
= No. of workers left or separated during a period /
Average number of workers on role during that period x 100
Average No. of. Workers = (No. of workers at the beginning of the
period + No. of workers at the end of the period) / 2
2. Calculating Labour Turnover by Replacement Method
= No. of workers replaced during a period / Average number of
workers on role during that period x 100
3. Calculating Labour Turnover by Flux Method
= (No. of workers separated in a period + No. of workers replaced in
the same period) / Average number of workers on role during that
period x100

TM
Meaning
Overhead costs, often referred to as
overhead or operating expenses, refer
to those expenses associated with
running a business that can‘t be linked
to creating or producing a product or
service.
Types
Overhead costs can be broken down
into three types:
Fixed
Variable
Semi-variable
UNIT –V
OVERHEADS
BPZ5A/BPG5B - COST ACCOUNTING 53
TM
1.Overhead Collection - Overhead is said to be collected when it is
incurred
2. Overhead Classification - This is the logical grouping of overhead into
the major activities undertaken by a business such as production, selling,
distribution and administration.
3. Overhead Codification - This refers to the use codes for the
identification of overhead costs of different kinds
4. Overhead Allocation - This is charging of whole item of overhead to a
single cost centre
5. Overhead Apportionment - This is the charging of proportions of
overhead to different cost centres using fair and equitable bases.
6. Overhead Absorption - This is the charging of overhead to cost units
using carefully calculated predetermined overhead rates
OVERHEAD ANALYSIS CAN BE
DIVIDED INTO SIX STAGES
BPZ5A/BPG5B - COST ACCOUNTING 54
TM
Over absorption occurs when the overhead absorbed is greater than the
actual overhead incurred. Over absorbed overheads represent gains and
are therefore credited to the profit and loss account.
Under absorption occurs when actual overhead cost incurred is greater
than the overhead absorbed. Under-absorbed overhead represents a
loss and is therefore debited to the profit and loss account.
OVER ABSORPTION AND UNDER
ABSORPTION OF OVERHEAD
BPZ5A/BPG5B - COST ACCOUNTING 55
TM
This is the final stage of the overhead analysis process where the
overhead of the production departments are charged to the final product.
The following is the general formula for calculating overhead absorption
rate. Activity level maybe measured using any of the following
Cost basis
Production hours
Output
Overhead absorption rates are based on budgeted overhead rather than
actual overhead
OVERHEAD ABSORPTION
BPZ5A/BPG5B - COST ACCOUNTING 56
TM
Primary Distribution is the allocation or appointment of different items of
overhead to both production and service departments on suitable basis.
There is no partiality between production and service department in
making primary distribution.
IMPORTANT POINTS SHOULD BE KEPT IN MIND
The basis for allocation and apportionment should be
equitable and practicable.
Charges are to be made to different departments in relation to
benefits received.
The method and basis for allocation and apportionment should
not be time consuming and costly

APPORTIONMENT
SECONDARY APPORTIONMENT
It reapportions service department overhead to production
departments. The objective of this stage is to ensure that only
production departments bear all overhead costs, and which will
eventually be charged to products. This is because while there is a
direct link between the product produced and the production
departments, there is no such link between the products and service
departments. The absence of a direct link between service cost centres
and products will make it difficult to charge service cost centre
overheads to products.
SERVICE DEPARTMENTS
The departments such as canteen, administration, stores,
maintenance, etc that do not take direct part in the production process.
They provide support work for the production departments

TM
Machine hour rate is a rational method for absorption of factory
overhead. The factory overhead costs are allocated to a machine or a
group of machines doing the same type of job and the cost per hour of
the machine is ascertained dividing the total allocated overhead costs to
the machine by number of hours the machine worked during the same
period of time for which the costs have been considered.
