The topic of our presentation is Cost of production. So, we have come to know that how the firm is working systematically with all its process and methods .The firm has different units to the production of dairy products, which has its own automatic machines for its output. we discovered that the functioning of each product is very smoothly which is easier for the production incharges to put the tags ,logos ,prices and detailing on the packaging. The manager of the dairy firm had practically explained and showed the graphical data from 2015-20 about the revenue ,profits ,losses ,expenses and investment, expenditure . the manager had also said that how these were ranging and how the firm got their product familiar and popular to their consumer. As their product were reaching at the maximum level, their TRP got high through the consumer’s taste and preference.
3. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We would like to express our special
thanks of gratitude to our professor Dr.
Bibhunandini das who gave us the golden
opportunity to do this wonderful project of
Managerial Economics on “COST OF
PRODUCTION”, Who also helped us in
completing us project. We came to know
about so many new things we are really
thankful to her.

INTRODUCTION
5. COST
1.What is the definition of cost production? explain briefly and thoroughly?
The cost of production is mainly defined that the price of an object or condition is
determined by the sum of the cost of the resources that went into making it.
The cost can be briefly comprises as:
• Labour
• Capital
• Land
• Taxation
The two main type of cost of production.
The two main types of cost of production are mentioned below & they are:
Explicit cost: It is the opportunity cost of purchasing input from the market, is known
as an explicit cost.
Implicit cost: it is the opportunity cost of using self owned inputs Examples of
the cost are mentioned below Wages paid to the workers & payment of
electricity bills (explicit cost)
6. Estimated rent on entrepreneur's own building & estimated interest on
entrepreneur's own capital.
The sub main types of cost of production are to be briefly explained
Fixed cost
Fixed cost are the cost related to the use of fixed factors of production
.Principal component of fixed costs are to the point mentioned below & they
are:
• Expenditure on machine & plan
• Expenditure on land & building
• License fee
• Wages & salaries of permanent staff
7. ILLUSTRATIVE CONCEPT OF FIXED COST
Briefly indicates that fixed costs remains constant at all levels of output. when output is zero unit,
fixed cost is 10 rupee. when it increase to 2 to 4 or 6 unit, even then total fixed cost is rupee 10.

8. VARIABLE COST
Variable cost refer to
the expenditure
incurred by the
procedure on the use of
variable factor of
Production. Principal component of variable cost are clearly
mentioned below & these are:
• Cost of raw material
• Wages of casual worker
• Expenses on electricity
• Wear & tear expenses
9. ILLUSTRATIVE CONCEPT OF VARIABLE COST
State by showing that as the output increases, total variable cost also increases.
when output is zero, total variable cost is also zero

when ₹5 units are produced the average fixed cost is ₹2. average fixed cost goes on
diminishing as output increase.

14. ABSTRACT
The present study was conducted at a cooperative milk plant
having the capacity of 1.1 lakh Litre/day (LPD). The
investigation was carried out to study the cost and return of
manufacturing different dairy products and to analyse the
breakeven point. During the study it was found that total
production of Ghee, Dahi, skimmed milk powder, double
tonned milk, full cream milk in the study period were
600109kg, 614790 cups,1688150, 1328259 litre and
168253.50 litre respectively. The cost of manufacturing was
found to be ₹ 333.30 per kg for ghee, ₹ 10.35 per unit for dahi,
₹ 221.21 per unit for ₹ 223.70 per kg for skimmed milk
powder, ₹ 29.39 for double tonned milk, ₹ 36.48 per litre for
standardized milk and, ₹ 43.12 per litre for full cream. Break-
Even level of Standardized Milk, DTM, SMP, Dahi, FCM, Salted
Lassi, Ghee and Paneer were found to be 2.11 crore litre, 1.05
crore litre, 1.57 crore kg, 48.91 lakh cups, 16.81 lakh litre,
54.136 lakh kg, and 1.25 lakh kg, respectively.

FORMULA ESTIMATION
Where, TR = Total revenue,

P = Price of the product
Q = Break- even output
TFC = Total fixed cost and
AVC = Average variable cost
Estimation Procedure
Total cost was estimated by considering fixed cost and
variable cost involved in manufacturing of various
products which is represented by: Total cost = Total Fixed
Cost + Total Variable Cost Fixed costs Fixed costs are those
costs which do not vary with the level of production.
Following costs were categorized under fixed costs of the
plant.

26. CONCLUSION
In conclusion , it should be emphasized that in this study and attempt
was made to explain that the short run fluctuation in the number of
workers employed and the number of hours paid for per workers , and
the number of hours worked per workers are related to each other in the
short run equilibrium , but that no attempt was made to develop a model
which was capable of predicting these variables . in order to use model
of short run demand for workers developed in this study for prediction
purposes . for example , it would be necessary to know the expected
future changes in output in advance , and at lest for those industries in
which expectations appeared to be quite accurate (and not based merely
on past output behavior ) , this would required knowledge of the
industry which an economic for caster ( as opposed to an individual
manager in the industry ) does not have at his disposal . Also , in this
study an afford was made to use as disaggregate and homogeneous body
of data as possible to lessen the problem of aggregating vastly dissimilar
firms, but to forecast aggregate employment form the three digit
industry level would be a tremendous task .
