2. In a batch: many identical items are
produced.
Identification and Assignment of Cost related
to producing a set amount of Good.
3. Includes: Fixed &VariableCost
To find Unit Cost of Batch of Goods
Batch Cost
Number of Units Produced
4. When Customers orders a quantity of
Identical Item.
or
When company decides to manufacture
batch of identical parts
5. Products accounted for Cost through Batch
Costing are:
Medicine
Footwear
Radios /Television Sets
Production of Engineering Components
Clothing Manufacturer
6. EOQ involves two types of costs:
Set up cost
Carrying cost
The particular batch size for which set up cost and
carrying cost is minimum is called EBQ
EBQ= 2DS/C
7. Reduces the initial capital outlay
Batch production reduces per unit cost
Mass and commercial production
Reduction in time to produce single unit
Labor cost is reduced
Useful for smaller businesses
9. Job Costing Batch Costing
Costs are collected and accumulated as per
jobs or contract
Lots of similar units which comprise batch is
used as a cost unit for finding cost
Each job is treated as separate entity for
calculating cost
Separate cost sheet is maintained for
separate batches assigning batch number
Cost are found at a completion stage of job Cost per unit is determined by dividing total
cost and by number of units in batch
The material and labor cost are complied
through abstracts and overheads are
charged on predetermined basis
Separate cost sheet is maintained for
separate batches assigning batch manner
Used in printing, furniture making Used in Drug industries, manufacturing
garments
Editor's Notes
With increase in batch size carrying cost increases and set up cost per unit reduces
it can reduce initial capital outlay (the cost of setting up the machines) because a single production line can be used to produce several products
Idle time between batches is known as downtime
Many systems are meant to be run intermittently, so the cost of downtime is often reduced.
