It is easy to explain the objectives of cost accounting with respect to some aspects of
business organizations. They are as follows:

Cost accounting allows managers to understand the cost of each product. With the right
data of cost accounting, the organization can fix a particular selling price per unit of
production. In case an organization deals with a particular service, they can fix the charges
for it rightly.
2.Making a Foundation of Total Cost
Making a foundation of cost is the main objective of cost accounting. With the help of a
specific foundation of the cost, a company can understand the level of production it can do
at a time. Moreover, it can divide the total cost and theoretically fragmentize the capital into
different sections of productions like job, process, organization, etc.
6. 3.Determining the Profitable Products
As per the aims of cost, accounting is concerned. It helps an organization to understand profitable
products. If a company deals with several products, it can run a session of cost accounting and select the
specific ones that give proper profits. This way, it can minimize the chances of a loss.
4.Controlling Costs Becomes Easier
The managerial team for a specific business organization can control the overall costs as per the
outcomes of cost accounting. Generally, every business organization executes this process on a quarterly
or yearly basis to determine the exact cost of the overall production. It can also save a lot by putting the
necessary amount in a sector only.
5.Handle Bonus Plans in an Organisation
The best way to keep the daily wagers in peace and expect high-end production from them is by
providing bonuses to them. Apart from bonuses, companies can also give other types of perk's time-to-
time. When we discuss cost accounting and its objectives, we need to understand that it helps an
organisation to calculate the bonus amount and distribute it among the workers.

Decision-making is a vital attribute on which the fate of a business organisation depends. Cost
accounting results act as first-hand information depending on which the board can decide the future
moves of the company,
The managerial board of a specific organisation has the right to make decisions about the
productions of a company as they are experienced and know the production style of the company.
7.Making Statements
Every business organisation has to make statements for keeping records. It is one of the main
objectives of cost and management accounting to provide all necessary data to the company as they
are able to make the statement of production at a specific time. Making statements is important for
another reason as it minimises the chances of fraud and mistakes in the company. One can easily show
the statements as proof that everything is perfect in the company.

When the management team organises a cost accounting session, the managers of different
departments communicate with each other for the statements and other documents. So, it acts as one
of the positive attributes of the company. It can enhance the inter-relation between the various
