The document discusses various capital budgeting techniques including discounted payback period and net present value (NPV). It provides an example calculation of discounted payback period for a project that pays back in 3 years. While discounted payback includes the time value of money, it does not consider cash flows after the payback date or whether NPV is positive. NPV is described as the best measure as it directly shows whether a project will increase owner wealth by accounting for the time value of money and all cash flows. The internal rate of return (IRR) is also discussed as an alternative to NPV for evaluating projects.
Job costing and process costing are two types of costing methods. Job costing is used when production is done in small batches to meet specific customer orders, with identifiable units tracked through production. Process costing is used for continuous production like chemicals, where costs are averaged over total units produced. Key differences are job costing tracks individual jobs while process costing averages costs over production batches. Both aim to determine accurate costs to measure profitability.
This document defines accounting rate of return (ARR) as the ratio of estimated accounting profit to average investment of a project. It ignores the time value of money. ARR is calculated by dividing average accounting profit by initial investment. Average accounting profit is the mean of annual profits over the project life. Initial investment may be replaced by average investment due to declining book value over time. Projects are accepted if their ARR is not less than the required rate of return. Examples show calculating ARR for projects with given cash flows. ARR is an easy method but ignores the time value of money and can be calculated inconsistently using accounting versus cash flows.
The document defines various types of variances that can occur in cost accounting, including material, labor, and overhead variances. It provides formulas to calculate variance amounts and examples showing how to compute variances based on standard and actual costs. Variances are classified into price, usage/efficiency, and mix categories and can be favorable or unfavorable depending on whether actual costs are lower or higher than standards.
The document discusses marginal costing and its advantages for managerial decision making. Marginal costing involves separating variable and fixed costs. It allows companies to determine contribution margins, break-even points, and margins of safety to aid in decisions around pricing, production levels, and profitability. The key advantage is it focuses on the impact of changes in output on profits. Some disadvantages are it understates inventory values and fixed costs are excluded from short-term decision making.
The document discusses the concept of cost and various types of costs from the perspective of the theory of cost. It defines cost and explains opportunity cost versus actual cost. It then outlines 10 main types of costs including direct vs indirect costs, fixed vs variable costs, sunk vs incremental costs, and historical vs replacement costs. The document also discusses cost functions and how factors like output, scale, input prices, and technology influence the cost-output relationship in the short-run. Graphs and examples are provided to illustrate short-run total, average and marginal costs.

The document discusses variance analysis, relevant costing, and cost-volume-profit analysis. It defines a variance as the difference between a budgeted or standard cost and an actual cost. Variance analysis identifies reasons for deviations from budgets. Relevant costing considers only incremental and avoidable costs for decision making. Cost-volume-profit analysis examines how operating profit is affected by variable costs, fixed costs, sales price, and sales volume or mix. Contribution margin is sales minus variable costs and shows how much each sale contributes to covering fixed costs.
Payback period (PP) is the number of years it takes for a company to recover its original investment in a project, when net cash flow equals zero. In the calculation of the payback period, the cash flows of the project must first be estimated. The payback period is then a simple calculation.

Life cycle costing is defined as the total cost of owning an asset over its entire life, from acquisition through operations and maintenance to disposal. It considers all costs associated with a product or asset over multiple stages - planning and design, manufacturing and sales, and service and abandonment. Calculating life cycle costs helps management understand cost consequences, identify areas for cost reduction, and make better decisions around product development, pricing, and discontinuation.
The document discusses key aspects of a statement of cash flows including its four main parts (cash, operating activities, investing activities, financing activities), methods for preparing it (direct vs indirect), uses both internally and externally, limitations, and provides an example cash flow statement for 5 companies. It explains how the statement of cash flows reconciles accrual-based accounting to cash-based transactions and flows.
This document discusses net present value (NPV) as a method for evaluating investment projects. It defines NPV as the difference between the present value of cash inflows and outflows. Positive NPV means the project is acceptable, zero means it may be acceptable, and negative means it should be rejected. The document provides a formula for calculating NPV and an example of applying the method to evaluate acquiring another company. Advantages include accounting for the time value of money, while disadvantages include difficulty of use and setting the discount rate.
Standard costing involves setting predetermined expected costs for cost components like direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead. Variances are calculated as the difference between actual and standard costs. This includes direct material, direct labor, and factory overhead variances. The direct material variance has a price and usage component. The factory overhead variance separates variable from fixed costs, with the controllable variance measuring variable cost efficiency and volume variance measuring fixed cost utilization.
The document discusses the straight-line depreciation method. It allocates the same amount of depreciation expense each reporting period. To calculate straight-line depreciation, you need the cost, residual value, and useful life of the asset. The formula is Depreciation Expense = (Cost - Residual Value) / Useful Life. An example calculates depreciation expense of $2,400 per year for a van costing $16,000 over 4 years with a residual value of $6,400. The method can also be expressed as a percentage by dividing the annual depreciation expense by the original cost.
This document defines key concepts in cost accounting and cost management. It discusses how cost accounting provides information for both management and financial accounting by measuring and reporting costs. It also describes different types of costs like direct, indirect, fixed and variable costs. Finally, it summarizes standard costing and analysis of variance, which are techniques used to evaluate actual performance against pre-established cost standards.
- Process costing is used to determine average costs for standardized goods produced through continuous processes. It involves allocating costs for multiple processes to the finished goods.
- The key steps are: recording costs by process, calculating production quantities, determining normal losses, and allocating costs between processes and finished goods using weighted average or FIFO methods.
- Process costing is common in industries like manufacturing, mining, chemicals where standardized goods are produced through sequential processes and normal losses are inherent.
This document defines and provides examples of price discrimination. It discusses that price discrimination means selling the same product at different prices to different buyers. It provides examples of air ticket prices being lower when booked further in advance and movie theaters charging different ticket prices. The document also outlines the main types of price discrimination including by income, product nature, age, time, geography, and product use. It discusses conditions needed for price discrimination, including different demand elasticities among buyer groups and the ability to segment markets.
The Net Income (NI) approach proposes that a firm's value increases as it takes on more debt financing due to debt generally being a cheaper source of capital than equity. According to the NI approach, the costs of debt and equity remain constant regardless of capital structure, so the overall cost of capital declines as debt levels rise. However, the NI approach assumes unrealistic conditions like taxes being ignored and that more debt does not affect investor risk perceptions. It implies the maximum firm value occurs with 100% debt financing.
Depreciation is an accounting method used to allocate the cost of a tangible asset over its useful life. There are several methods for calculating depreciation including straight-line, double declining balance, and units of production. Straight-line depreciation provides a constant depreciation expense each year while double declining balance and units of production result in higher expenses in earlier years. Each method has advantages and disadvantages related to ease of use, matching expenses to revenues, and reflecting the actual decline in value of the asset over time.
This document discusses different types of costing methods including job costing and contract costing. It provides details on:
- Job costing is used to determine costs for specific jobs or orders and is commonly used in job order industries. Costs are tracked separately for each job.
- Contract costing is a variant of job costing applied to construction projects. Each contract is treated as a separate cost unit and costs are tracked separately for each contract over its duration.
- Key aspects of contract costing include maintaining separate accounts for each contract, charging costs incurred directly to the relevant contract, and payment being made based on certified work completed.
Cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis examines how changes in volume, costs, and prices affect profits. It is used for managerial decisions like pricing, order acceptance, product promotion, and feasibility analysis. CVP analysis uses techniques like contribution margin analysis and break-even analysis under assumptions like linear revenues and expenses. Questions address profit levels at different volumes, the volume where costs equal revenues, and the effects of cost/price changes on profits.
The document discusses funds flow statements and their preparation. It provides definitions of key terms like working capital and flow of funds. It explains that a funds flow statement depicts changes in working capital between two balance sheet dates by analyzing changes in current assets and current liabilities. The summary also shows how to prepare schedules of changes in working capital and sources and uses of funds statements to analyze the flow of funds.
The document defines depreciation as the allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its estimated useful life. The objectives of depreciation are to match expenses with revenues and allocate the cost of an asset over the periods it benefits the company. Assets are depreciable if they are used for more than one accounting period and have a finite useful life. Common depreciation methods include straight-line, reducing balance, and production output. Capital expenditures extend the life or increase the value of an asset while revenue expenditures are consumed within an accounting period.
The document discusses job costing and batch costing. It defines job costing as a method where cost is compiled for specific jobs or work orders, rather than for stock. Cost is charged directly to jobs for materials, labor, and expenses. Overhead is apportioned to jobs based on department rates. Batch costing determines cost per unit by dividing total batch costs by the number of units in a batch. The document also discusses determining economic batch quantity to minimize setup and carrying costs, and provides examples of job and batch costing applications.
Standard costing is a technique that involves setting predetermined standards for costs and comparing them to actual costs. Standards are set for materials, labor, overhead and sales prices/margins. Variances between standards and actuals are analyzed to identify reasons for differences and take corrective actions. It helps management evaluate performance, control costs, set budgets and motivate staff. Some key advantages include cost control, delegation, efficiency improvements, and anticipating future costs and profits. Limitations include requiring technical skills and difficulty separating controllable vs. uncontrollable variances.

Here are the steps to solve this problem:
1) Break-even point calculation:
- Direct production costs at 70% capacity = $280,000
- Fixed costs = $200,000
- Total costs = $280,000 + $200,000 = $480,000
- Sales at break-even = Total costs = $480,000
- Sales are $40 per unit
- So units at break-even = $480,000 / $40 = 12,000 units
2) Gross earnings and net profit at 100% capacity:
- Capacity = 14,000 units (12,000 units / 0.7 = 14,000 units at 100%)
- Sales =

* Contribution per unit is selling price - variable cost = $80 - $40 = $40
* Break-even point in units = Fixed costs / Contribution per unit
= $48,700 / $40
= 1,218 units
Therefore, the break-even point in units if Splurge Electronics purchases the new equipment is 1,218 units.

What is 'Production Cost'
Production cost refers to the cost incurred by a business when manufacturing a good or providing a service. Production costs include a variety of expenses including, but not limited to, labor, raw materials, consumable manufacturing supplies and general overhead. Additionally, any taxes levied by the government or royalties owed by natural resource extracting companies are also considered production costs.
BREAKING DOWN 'Production Cost'
Also referred to as the cost of production, production costs include expenditures relating to the manufacturing or creation of goods or services. For a cost to qualify as a production cost it must be directly tied to the generation of revenue for the company. Manufacturers experience product costs relating to both the materials required to create an item as well as the labor need to create it. Service industries experience production costs in regards to the labor required to provide the service as well as any materials costs involved in providing the aforementioned service.
In production, there are direct costs and indirect costs. For example, direct costs for manufacturing an automobile are materials such as the plastic and metal materials used as well as the labor required to produce the finished product. Indirect costs include overhead such as rent, administrative salaries or utility expenses.
Deriving Unit Costs for Product Pricing
To figure out the cost of production per unit, the cost of production is divided by the number of units produced. Once the cost per unit is determined, the information can be used to help develop an appropriate sales price for the completed item. In order to break even, the sales price must cover the cost per unit. Amounts above the cost per unit are often seen as profit while amounts below the cost per unit result in losses.
The document provides guidance on building financial projections for startups, including how to model unit economics, variable and fixed costs, and profit and loss statements. It emphasizes the importance of defining the core unit of business and modeling costs, revenues, and key metrics like gross margin and expenses as percentages of revenue. The document uses an example of a custom pen business to demonstrate how to build projections over multiple years to show business growth and potential profitability.
1. The document discusses the key differences between variable costing and full costing. Under variable costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is treated as a period cost rather than a product cost.
2. When production exceeds sales, variable costing expenses all fixed manufacturing overhead in the period rather than including some in inventory. This means income under variable costing will be lower than under full costing when production is greater than sales.
3. Variable costing facilitates contribution margin analysis and managers cannot artificially inflate profits by overproducing to bury fixed costs in inventory. Inventory balances are also always lower under variable costing compared to full costing.
This document discusses cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis, which estimates how changes in costs and sales volume affect profits. CVP analysis can determine the break-even point, or volume needed to cover total costs. It examines the relationship between a company's costs, sales volume, and profits. The document defines CVP analysis elements like price, volume, variable and fixed costs. It also discusses concepts like contribution margin, break-even analysis, and how CVP can be used to reach profit targets or analyze products.
Risk Analysis and Project Evaluation/Abshor.Marantika/Gita Mutiara Ovelia/3-3gitaovelia
1. Risk analysis is important for project evaluation because project cash flows are risky and may differ from estimates, and forecasts are made by humans who can be optimistic.
2. Sensitivity analysis evaluates the effect of each value driver on NPV and identifies the most impactful variable. Scenario analysis considers simultaneous changes to multiple drivers. Simulation generates thousands of value combinations to model outcomes.
3. Break-even analyses determine the sales or output level needed to cover costs, including accounting, cash, and NPV break-even points.

Time value of money is measured by interest rates. Money has time value because it can earn more over time through interest (earning power) and its purchasing power changes with inflation. The present value of a future amount can be calculated using the present value formula, which takes into account the discount rate and number of periods until receipt. As time passes, the value of assets invested in a project will change. Assets are items owned that have future economic benefit and are divided into tangible assets with physical form and intangible assets without physical form.
The document discusses engineering economics and its importance for chemical engineers. It provides three key objectives of engineering economics: 1) to assess the appropriateness of a given project, 2) to estimate its value, and 3) to justify it from an engineering standpoint. The document then analyzes several potential reaction processes for producing vinyl chloride and calculates the gross profit that could be made from each based on raw material and product prices. Reaction 3, which converts ethylene and chlorine into vinyl chloride and hydrogen chloride, is identified as the most profitable option.

2. Gross Profit, Net Profit and Cash Flow
The product sales revenue minus the total product cost gives the gross earnings (gross
profit) made by the particular production operation.
𝐺𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑠 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑓𝑖𝑡 = 𝑔𝑗 = 𝑠𝑗 − 𝐶 𝑜𝑗
𝑠𝑗 = Total income from sales in the year j
𝐶 𝑜𝑗 = Total product cost in the year j
𝐺𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑠 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑓𝑖𝑡 = 𝐺𝑗 = 𝑠𝑗 − 𝐶0𝑗 − 𝑑𝑗
𝑑𝑗 Depreciation in the year j
Net Profit is the amount retained of the profit after income taxes have been paid
𝑁𝑝𝑗 = 𝐺𝑗 1 − ∅
∅ = fractional income tax rate
Cash flow from the the processes and operations
𝐴𝑗 = 𝑁𝑝𝑗 + 𝑑𝑗
3. Example
Break-even point, gross earnings, and net profit for a process plant
The annual variable production costs for a plant operating at 70 percent capacity are
$280,000 while the sum of the annual fixed charges, overhead costs, and general
expenses is $200,000.
What is the break-even point in units of production per year if total annual sales are
$560,000 and the product sells at $4 per unit?
What is the breakeven point in kgs of product /year?
What are the gross annual profit Gj and net annual profit for this plant at 100 %
capacity if the income tax rate is 35 % of gross profit?
4. Solution
The break-even point occurs when the total annual product cost equals the total annual
sales.
The total annual product cost is the sum of the fixed costs (including fIxed charges,
overhead, and general expenses) and the direct production costs for n units per year.
The total annual sales is the product of the number of units and the selling price per unit.
