Two costing experts discuss using direct costing techniques to understand the true cost of products or services. These ideas can help businesses be more competitive in pricing their products and services.
This document discusses various techniques for financial forecasting and projections. It provides an overview of preparing pro forma income statements and balance sheets using percentage of sales and budgeted expense methods. An example pro forma income statement and assumptions are presented. Key points covered are sales forecasting techniques, calculating external funding requirements for growth, and preparing other supporting financial projections like cash budgets and operating budgets.
Equity shareholders are not paid dividend at a fixed rate every year. The distribution of dividend depends upon the profitability of the company.
The cost of Equity share is the minimum rate of return company has to earn.
The cost of equity capital several models have been proposed. The cost of equity capital is calculated based on the following approaches:
Dividend price ratio approach
Earning price ratio approach
Dividend Price + Growth Rate of Earnings (p+g) Approach
Realised yield approach
Zero Based Budgeting (ZBB) requires justification of all expenses for each new budget period, regardless of past budgets. It involves identifying decision units, developing alternative decision packages for each unit, and ranking packages based on cost-benefit analysis. Key steps include defining minimum and incremental effort levels for activities, and prioritizing funding based on package rankings. ZBB aims to improve efficiency by re-evaluating all expenditures, but requires significant effort. Alternatives like priority budgeting and target-based budgeting are less intensive but still focus on value and priorities over incremental increases.
Budgetary control involves companies establishing budgets for revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities in advance of an accounting period. Managers prepare functional budgets for their departments, which are then combined into a master budget. Actual performance is continuously compared to budgets to ensure plans are achieved or provide a basis for revision. Budgetary control coordinates activities, provides responsibility accounting, motivates managers, and establishes a system for planning and control through regular budget reviews.
The document discusses capital structure, which refers to the composition of a company's long-term capital from sources like loans, reserves, shares, and bonds. It also discusses capitalization, which is the total amount of securities issued, and financial structure, which includes all short-term and long-term financial resources. Different approaches to capital structure are described, including the net income approach, which argues the optimal structure is maximum debt financing to reduce costs. The net operating income approach argues structure does not impact value or costs. The traditional approach finds an optimal debt ratio that balances lower debt costs and higher equity costs.
The document discusses benchmarking, which involves comparing performance metrics to other organizations in order to identify areas for improvement. It outlines the history and definition of benchmarking, as well as different types (e.g. internal vs. external). A typical benchmarking process involves planning, data collection, analysis, implementation, and monitoring. Various tools are used in benchmarking, including balanced scorecards, gap analysis, and data envelopment analysis. While benchmarking provides a way to improve performance, it also faces challenges in securing sponsorship, defining scope and metrics, establishing standards, and deriving meaningful results.
The document discusses key concepts related to financial reporting including:
1) Financial reporting provides formal records of a company's financial activities primarily for external users like shareholders and internal users like management. Annual reports contain key documents like directors reports and financial statements.
2) There are various forms of business organization but joint stock companies have features like limited liability, transferable shares, and elected management through directors.
3) The objective of financial reporting is to provide useful information to investors and creditors to make decisions about providing resources to an entity. Reports are limited and users need other sources of information as well.
The document provides information about financial reporting and annual reports for companies. It discusses key components of annual reports including the director's report, financial statements, audit report, income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and statement of owner's equity. It also covers notes to the financial statements, stakeholders' interests in financial statements, qualities and limitations of financial statements, responsibilities for financial statements, misleading financial statements, and consequences of unreliable financial statements.

Here is my opinion on the profitability of the proposed heat treatment plant project for M/s JBS Ltd:
Based on the information provided, some key assumptions I would make are:
- Machinery cost is Rs. 50 lakhs as per quotations received.
- Other fixed assets like AC, furniture etc. would cost Rs. 10 lakhs as estimated.
- Total project cost is machinery cost + other fixed assets = Rs. 50 lakhs + Rs. 10 lakhs = Rs. 60 lakhs
- Land costing Rs. 20 lakhs is being acquired through issue of equity shares.
- Existing bank balance is Rs. 20 lakhs which can be used
Modigliani and Miller initially developed their capital structure approach in 1958 without considering taxes. They argued that a firm's value and cost of capital are independent of its capital structure. In 1963, they revised their approach to include taxes. When taxes are considered, firm value increases with leverage as interest expenses are tax deductible, creating a tax shield. The value of a levered firm exceeds an unlevered firm by the amount of debt multiplied by the tax rate.
This document discusses factors that affect foreign exchange rates, including relative inflation rates between countries, interest rates, international trade balances, foreign currency supply, and net international reserves of a country. Floating and managed exchange rate regimes are also covered. The author predicts that the Egyptian pound will face challenges maintaining its value against the US dollar in 2009 due to declining factors like international reserves and an increasing trade deficit, and may depreciate to reach 6 Egyptian pounds per US dollar by the end of the year.
The document discusses marginal costing and cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis techniques for decision making. It defines marginal costing as the separation of total costs into fixed and variable costs to understand the effect of changes in output on profit. The key assumptions and terminologies of marginal costing like contribution, break-even point, profit-volume ratio, and margin of safety are explained. CVP analysis expresses the relationship between sales volume, costs, and profits and can be used to answer questions about break-even revenues, effects of price and cost changes, and achieving budgeted profit levels.
This document compares and contrasts money markets and capital markets. It defines money markets as markets for short-term debt instruments with maturities of 1 year or less, like treasury bills and commercial paper, while capital markets deal in longer term securities like stocks, bonds and debentures. Key differences include money markets focusing on liquidity and short-term borrowing needs, while capital markets help raise long term financing for businesses and infrastructure. Risk is also generally lower in money markets due to shorter durations, while returns are higher in capital markets. Both play important roles in channeling funds between lenders and borrowers in an economy.
Japan has a well-developed financial system that is similar to other major industrialized nations, consisting of commercial banks, specialized government institutions, securities companies, capital markets, and money markets. Japan's banking system was traditionally segmented into commercial banks, long-term credit banks, trust banks, mutual loan and savings banks, and specialized institutions. In the 1980s, nonbank institutions also began performing traditional banking functions like issuing loans. The five largest banks in the world in 1990 were Japanese, and they expanded internationally through foreign branches, acquisitions, and new activities.
Walton founded Walmart and Sam's Club, pioneering the discount retail model. In 1962, he opened the first Walmart store in Rogers, Arkansas. By 1980, he had expanded to include Sam's Club, catering to small businesses and individuals. His strategic focus on low prices transformed retail and established Walmart as the largest company in the world by revenue. Walton's business policies centered on low costs, high volume, and passing savings to customers, fueling the company's massive growth in the following decades.

It also provides a brief introduction to the Indian capital market and its primary and secondary segments.
This document provides an overview of capital budgeting. It defines capital budgeting as the planning process used to determine long-term investments worth funding through a firm's capital structure. The document outlines the importance, process, techniques and acceptance criteria for capital budgeting. It describes techniques like payback period, accounting rate of return, net present value and profitability index. The overview emphasizes that capital budgeting decisions require consideration of factors like profitability, risk and cash flows over long time horizons.
The document discusses the cost of capital, which is the rate of return a firm requires to increase its market value. It has three components: return at zero risk, business risk premium, and financial risk premium. Cost of capital is classified as historical vs future, specific vs composite, average vs marginal, and explicit vs implicit. Specific costs include cost of debt, preference shares, equity shares, and retained earnings. Composite cost is the weighted average cost of different sources. Cost of capital is computed using book value weights or market value weights to determine the weighted average cost of capital (WACC).

The agency problem arises due to the separation of ownership and management in corporations. Managers may prioritize their own goals over maximizing shareholder wealth. This problem can be prevented by market forces like institutional investors influencing management decisions and hostile takeovers that threaten managers. It also involves agency costs like monitoring, bonding, and structuring manager compensation to incentivize wealth maximization for shareholders.
Businesses require funds to start, operate ongoing activities, and expand. They have two main sources of funds: internal and external. Internal sources include profits, depreciation, and selling assets. External long-term sources are share capital like ordinary shares, preference shares, and deferred shares, as well as loan capital like debentures, bank loans, and mortgages. External short-term sources include bank loans, overdraft facilities, and leasing. The document provides details on different types of internal and external sources of funds for businesses.
The document discusses the primary market, which refers to the initial market for new security offerings. It involves three main participants: issuers like corporations and governments who issue new securities, intermediaries like merchant bankers and stock exchanges that facilitate the issuance and trading, and investors both individual and institutional who purchase the newly issued securities. The primary market allows for mobilization of savings, investment in new projects, entrepreneurship growth, and overall economic development.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) was established in 1988 and given statutory powers through the SEBI Act of 1992. It is the regulatory body for securities markets in India, with a mandate to protect investors and ensure the development and regulation of markets. SEBI is managed by a board of members appointed by the Indian government. It is headquartered in Mumbai and has regional offices across India. The purpose of SEBI is to maintain stable and efficient markets through the creation and enforcement of regulations.
Topic 7a activity based costing sem 2 1516Omar Ghiassi
- Traditional costing systems allocate overhead to products using direct labor hours as the cost driver. However, this may not be reasonable if production processes change.
- Activity-based costing (ABC) assigns costs to activities first, then assigns activity costs to products based on their use of activities. This provides a more accurate allocation of overhead costs.
- The four steps of ABC are: 1) identify activities, 2) estimate activity costs, 3) calculate a cost driver rate for each activity, and 4) assign activity costs to products using the rates.

Activity Based Costing Arrow Diagram for PowerPoint and Google Slides
The document discusses Activity Based Costing (ABC), which assigns costs to products based on their use of activities and resources. It provides more accurate product costs than traditional costing. ABC identifies activities, assigns costs to activity cost pools, calculates activity rates, and assigns costs to cost objects like products. This helps determine which products are truly profitable. However, ABC requires substantial resources and managers may resist differing from traditional costing figures. ABC data also requires careful use for decision making.
This document provides an overview of absorption costing and variable costing. It discusses the key components of product costs and period costs under each method. It also presents the format for an income statement under absorption costing, including the calculation and treatment of over/under absorption of fixed manufacturing overhead. When there is over/under absorption, an adjustment is made to gross profit on the income statement.
This document discusses different costing methods and provides an example to calculate unit product costs using absorption and variable costing. Absorption costing treats all costs as product costs, while variable costing only treats variable costs as product costs. For a company producing 3,000 units with given variable and fixed costs, the unit product cost under absorption costing is $22.67 and under variable costing is $6.
Marginal Costing vs Absorption Costing - ACCA - F5Jessy Chong
This document summarizes the key differences between marginal costing and absorption costing. It outlines how they classify and value costs, calculate profit, and their advantages and disadvantages. It also discusses how idle time and idle facilities are treated differently. Some example questions are provided at the end to test understanding of costing concepts.
Responsibility accounting is a system of dividing an organization into similar units, each of which is to be assigned particular responsibilities. These units may be in the form of divisions, segments, departments, branches, product lines and so on. Each department is comprised of individuals who are responsible for particular tasks or managerial functions. The managers of various departments should ensure that the people in their department are doing well to achieve the goal. Responsibility accounting refers to the various concepts and tools used by managerial accountants to measure the performance of people and departments in order to ensure that the achievement of the goals set by the top management.
Responsibility accounting, therefore, represents a method of measuring the performances of various divisions of an organization. The test to identify the division is that the operating performance is separately identifiable and measurable in some way that is of practical significance to the management. Responsibility accounting collects and reports planned and actual accounting information about the inputs and outputs of responsibility centers.
This document discusses absorption costing and overhead allocation. It defines overheads as indirect costs that cannot be directly traced to products or departments. It explains that absorption costing shares overheads between products on a fair basis using allocation, apportionment, and absorption. Various overhead categories and cost centers are described. Methods for allocating and reapportioning overhead like direct and step-down methods are covered. Finally, it discusses determining predetermined overhead rates and absorbing overhead into production costs.
Dokumen tersebut membahas tentang sistem kalkulasi biaya yang lebih akurat yaitu Activity Based Costing (ABC) dibandingkan sistem tradisional.

Dokumen ini memberikan contoh perhitungan biaya menggunakan sistem tradisional dan ABC untuk menunjukkan perbedaan hasilnya."
This document discusses responsibility accounting. It defines responsibility accounting as a system that collects planned and actual accounting information for responsibility centers. Responsibility centers are organizational units for which a manager is responsible for costs, revenues, or investment funds. There are four main types of responsibility centers: cost centers, revenue centers, profit centers, and investment centers. Responsibility accounting improves decision making, speed, and motivation by assigning accountability to managers of responsibility centers.
Goldratt's Theory of Constraints - An IntroductionFred Wiersma
The Theory of Constraints (TOC) is a management philosophy developed by Eliyahu Goldratt to achieve continuous improvement by identifying the constraint holding a system back and exploiting it. A constraint is anything that prevents a system from achieving higher performance. TOC provides tools to identify constraints, determine how to exploit them, and elevate the system. It has been applied successfully across various business areas like production, distribution, marketing, and finance. Companies can develop a "Viable Vision" using TOC to achieve a profit equal to their current turnover within four years.
This document discusses absorption costing and marginal costing. Absorption costing treats all manufacturing costs, including fixed and variable costs, as product costs. Marginal costing treats only variable manufacturing costs as product costs and regards fixed costs as period costs. Breakeven analysis determines the level of sales or production at which total revenue equals total costs. It can be used to calculate the breakeven point, target profit, margin of safety, and the impact of changes in costs, revenues, and profits.
Собрание схем по методологии калькулирования себестоимости - Activity-Based Costing. Также есть схемы по Activity-Based Budgeting. Схемы собраны в одну презентацию. Надеюсь, что поможет Вам мои подборки. Мой сайт: ivan-shamaev.ru
- Cost accounting is used to estimate product costs, calculate work-in-progress costs, and control costs by comparing actual and estimated costs.
- There are three elements of cost: direct materials, direct labor, and other expenses which can be direct or indirect.
- Costs are traced to cost centers, which are areas responsible for costs like manufacturing departments. Costs are allocated or apportioned to cost centers and then absorbed into total product costs.
- Predetermined overhead rates are used to estimate overhead costs which are then compared to actual overhead costs at the end of the period to determine if overhead was under- or over-absorbed.
Responsibility accounting deals with planned and actual accounting information about inputs and outputs for organizational responsibility centers. There are four types of responsibility centers: revenue centers measure outputs in monetary terms but not costs; expense centers measure expenses but not revenues; profit centers measure performance in terms of profit; and investment centers hold managers responsible for asset use and profit as well as return on investment. Techniques for measuring responsibility center performance include variance analysis, volume of profit, return on investment, management by objectives, and balanced scorecard systems.
presentation on responsibility accountingNisha Singh
This document provides an overview of responsibility accounting including its meaning, features, types of responsibility centers, transfer pricing methods, and advantages. Key points:
- Responsibility accounting assigns revenues and costs to those responsible and divides organizations into responsibility centers like cost, profit, and investment centers.
- It uses both planned and actual data, identifies controllable vs. uncontrollable costs, and determines transfer prices for goods exchanged internally.
- Responsibility accounting improves performance, aids cost planning, enables delegation while retaining control, and holds individuals accountable for results.
The document discusses responsibility accounting and transfer pricing. It describes how large businesses are divided into responsibility centers to help managers control smaller operational areas. Responsibility accounting provides information to plan, control operations, and evaluate manager performance. Centers are classified as cost centers, profit centers, or investment centers depending on their control over costs and revenues. The document also discusses transfer pricing between internal divisions and how the negotiated price affects each division's reported profits.
Absorption/Variable Costing and Cost-Volume-Profit Analysisnarman1402
This chapter discusses absorption and variable costing approaches and how they differ in classifying and presenting costs. It also covers cost-volume-profit analysis, which examines the relationship between sales revenue, costs, and production volume. Companies use cost-volume-profit analysis to calculate break-even points, set target profits, and answer "what-if" questions. The underlying assumptions are that costs and revenues remain constant and that the company operates within a relevant range.

Complexity in all aspects of business (products, processes, organizations) has made planning and forecasting more difficult and a fundamental lack of understanding of complexity often drives behaviors intended to reduce costs, but actually increase them while decreasing service level.
In this presentation delivered at the 2014 APICS International Conference, we explore the sources of complexity facing businesses today and how complexity manifests itself in poorer performance and higher costs. In doing so we will explore Wilson Perumal & Company’s Square Root Costing methodology for more accurately allocating complexity costs across an organization through a real-life client example.
Managerial accounting provides information to managers within an organization to help plan and control operations, while financial accounting provides information to external parties to aid in financial decisions. Some key differences between the two include users, time focus, requirements to follow GAAP, and emphasis on either verifiability or relevance for decision making. Cost accounting involves classifying and analyzing costs to determine the costs of products, services, or other cost objects. Important cost accounting concepts include direct and indirect costs, product versus period costs, and inventory flows through raw materials, work in process, and finished goods.

SE 307-CHAPTER_9_PROJECT_CASH_FLOW_ANALYSIS.pptAishaKhan527933
This document discusses project cash flow analysis for a manufacturing company. It provides definitions for different types of costs including direct materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead, non-manufacturing overhead, marketing, and administrative costs. It also defines fixed, variable, and mixed costs. An example is provided to calculate average unit cost. The document then provides an example cash flow analysis for a project to install a new computer control system over 5 years. It shows the income statement, cash flow statement, and calculates that the project has a 22.55% internal rate of return, making it justified above the 15% minimum acceptable rate of return.
CVP analysis is an important tool for profit planning that provides information on break-even points, the sensitivity of profits to changes in output or costs, and the amount of profit expected for projected sales levels. It analyzes the behavior of costs with changes in volume and the interdependence of volume, costs, and profits. The break-even point is the level of activity where total revenues equal total costs, representing the minimum level of activity needed to cover total fixed costs. It is calculated as total fixed costs divided by the contribution margin per unit.
The document discusses cost of quality and quality costs. It explains that understanding quality costs enables reducing unnecessary costs by preventing problems. Quality costs can account for 25-35% of costs in manufacturing and service industries. There are different categories of quality costs such as prevention, appraisal, internal and external failure costs. The document emphasizes that investing in prevention has higher returns and saves more costs compared to appraisal and failure costs according to the 1:10:100 rule. It also outlines some steps to implement quality cost measurement in an organization.
cost accounting chapter 6, fundamentals of product and service designBeaDelaPenia1
This document discusses job-order costing systems used by manufacturing firms that produce unique products in small batches. It explains the key aspects of setting up a job-order costing system including cost accumulation, measurement, and assignment. Costs like direct materials, direct labor, and applied overhead are traced to individual jobs and accumulated on job cost sheets. The chapter compares using a single overhead rate versus multiple rates and how they impact cost assignment.

Job Costing - An Execution Guide for Operations NSCA Best Practices ConferenceJohn Graham
Job costing is typically thought of as an accounting function. Margins are only getting tighter so every point of margin possible must be achieved in the execution of projects. The project team’s understanding of the financial aspects can make the difference in having unprofitable or profitable projects and service contracts
This document discusses cost accounting. It defines cost accounting as a formal system to ascertain and control costs by recording all costs incurred in business. The scope of cost accounting includes cost ascertainment, control and reduction, and determining selling price. A cost accountant determines actual costs of products and services. Their roles include establishing cost departments and providing cost information to managers.
This summary provides an overview of key concepts from differential cost analysis and incremental decision making:
Differential cost analysis focuses on the differences in costs and revenues between alternative choices. It considers only costs and revenues that change with the decision. Incremental analysis compares the incremental revenue to the incremental costs of various options to determine the most profitable choice. For example, a company may analyze whether to make or buy a product based on the incremental costs and revenues of each option.

9. The Current State
• Traditional Costing Systems
– Compliance driven (GAAP, taxes, etc.)
– Not operationally effective
– Often complex
– Rely heavily on estimates
– Often driven by labor hours
10. Unintended Consequences
• Misrepresent our cost structure
– The highest volume products take a
disproportionately higher share of the
cost base
– Over cost the high volume product and
under cost the low volume product
– Make pricing decision based upon our
‘costs’ (cost + markup)
11. What is Direct Costing?
• Direct Costing
– Accounting method used for valuing
inventory and calculating income
– Requires separating manufacturing costs
between those resulting from volume
(variable), and those resulting from the
passage of time (fixed)
– Under direct costing, fixed costs are not
allocated to inventory, but rather,
expensed on the income statement when
incurred
12. What is Direct Costing? (continued)
– Variable costs
• Direct materials
• Direct labor
• Fringe benefits
• Purchase price variance
• Scrap
• Freight
• Inventory adjustments
• Supplies
• Packaging
• Etc.
13. What is Direct Costing? (continued)
• Fixed costs – sunk, incurred regardless of
manufacturing activity
– Manufacturing salary labor
– Manufacturing indirect labor
– Depreciation
– Rent
– Insurance
– Taxes
– Utilities
• This analysis varies by company and industry
14. Direct Costing Benefits
• Simpler product costing
• Overhead costs are more easily
tracked and managed
• Easier to analyze and plan
• No Income Statement benefits from
building inventory
• No Income Statement reversals
from reducing inventory
15. Direct Costing Benefits (continued)
• Direct costs
– Controlled at the operating level
– Operations monitors and manage these
costs
• Indirect costs
– Controlled at the management level
– Fixed in nature, have little variability
• Pricing decisions become easier
– Product costs are variable
– Anything greater than variable costs
contributes to the fixed cost base

– The product cost is modified to exclude
fixed costs of $7.00/ea
– Assume the facility has capacity
– A customer offers to buy widgets at
