ANSWER ONE:

Cost accounting is an approach to evaluating the overall costs that are associated with conducting business. Generally based on standard accounting practices, cost accounting is one of the tools that managers utilize to determine what type and how much expenses is involved with maintaining the current

SECTION A

business model. At the same time, the principles of cost accounting can also be utilized to project changes to these costs in the event that specific changes are implemented.

When it comes to measuring how wisely company resources are being utilized, cost accounting helps to provide the data relevant to the current situation. By identifying production costs and further defining the cost of production by three or more successive business cycles, it is possible to note any trends that indicate a rise in production costs without any appreciable changes or increase in production of goods and services. By using this approach, it is possible to identify the reason for the change, and take steps to contain the situation before bottom line profits are impacted to a greater degree.

In the management of a company's finances, the relationship between spending expenses and profitability is weighed against its success or failure. Cost accounting is the branch of managerial accounting that systematically assists managers in the internal balancing of spending and profits, as well as assessing operational costs and budget analyses

These are the following important objectives of cost accounting:

• Ascertainment of Cost: The primary objectives of the cost accounting is to ascertain cost of each product, process, job, operation or service rendered.

• Ascertainment of Profitability: Cost accounting determines the profitability of each product, process, job, operation or service rendered. The statement of profit or losses and Balance Sheet also submitted to the management periodically.

• Classification of Cost: Cost accounting classifies cost in to different elements such as materials, laborer and expenses. It has further been divided as direct cost and indirect cost for cost control and recording.

• Control of Cost: Cost accounting aims at controlling cost by setting standards and compared with the actual, the deviation or variation between two is identified and necessary steps are taken to control them.

• Fixation or Selling Prices: Cost accounting guides management in regard to fixation of selling prices of the products. It is also helpful for preparing tender and quotations.

ANSWER 2.

Cost classification is the process of grouping costs according to their common characteristics. A suitable classification of costs is very helpful in identifying a given cost with cost centers or cost units. Costs may be classified according to their nature, i.e., material, labor and expenses and a number of other characteristics.

Ist : Direct Material Cost Direct material cost comes in the first part of cost classification. Its cost is also important for calculation of prime cost of any product. Raw material is the main source of any finished product. So, it may be 70% to 90% of total cost of production.

2nd : Direct Labour Cost Direct labor cost also the part of cost classification. Without use of labor, we can not convert raw material into finished product. Like direct material cost, labor cost is also important for calculating the prime cost of production. What % of total cost will be the labour cost? It depends only the nature of production. If nature of production need large numbers of processes, then we need large labor and cost may be very high % of total cost.

3rd : Overhead

a) By nature

Overhead may be indirect material, factory overheads and other overheads. These do not effect production directly but without this production may be delay. Suppose, you want to produce cable in night, at that time, you need light for doing production activities. So, you have to pay more bill for supply of electricity in night also. Costs can also be classified in the following ways:

b) By function c) By traceability d) By variability e) Controllability f) By Normality g) Capital and Revenue etc.

• The ABC inventory control method determines the importance of inventory items based on usage, sales or costs criteria. This inventory control method provides companies the ability to give individual stock keeping units (SKUs) different levels of inventory control based on the SKUs relative importance. Companies perform a Pareto analysis to determine ABC item classifications. The ABC inventory method offers advantages over non-classification methods in the areas of cost-control, SKU level management and order fulfillment.

ANSWER 3:

Advantages of ABC Analysis

Control

• Utilizing the ABC inventory method gives a company more control over the inventory it stores. A company that uses annual costs of goods sold (COGS) as its basis for the ABC classification method stocks less of the "A" class items (identified as having higher annual COGS) and stocks more of the "B" and C" class items (identified as having lower annual COGS). On the other hand, a company that uses annual usage as its basis for classification stocks more of the "A" class items because of their higher usage and less of the lower use "C" class items. Stocking a better mix of the right inventory allows a company to control over-supply and under-supply of important SKUs.

Costs

• Because the ABC inventory method makes use of Pareto's law (the basic 80/20 rule), companies can focus on containing the cost of the 20% of items that make up 80% of a companies annual spend. Once a company has determined which items fall into each ABC category it can establish cost-reduction initiatives at the SKU level. These initiatives can include reducing the SKU's lead-time, reducing safety-stock levels and negotiating reduced pricing with suppliers. Additionally, even without implementing cost-savings initiatives a company experiences cost-reductions from eliminating excess stock for less important, but sometimes-costly SKUs.

Improved service

• One of the greatest benefits comes from the improvement in customer service levels and order fulfillment. ABC analysis provides a company with information to stock the right-mix of inventory. If a company uses customer demand as its basis for analysis, it ends up stocking a better mix of the items customers require. When a company has the right inventory at the right time it reduces backorders and unfilled orders. This has a positive impact on customer service and gives a competitive advantage to the company that uses this methodology.

Warehouse

• ABC inventory extends to warehouse management has well. Companies utilizing ABC analysis in the warehouse give priority space to faster moving SKUs. This allows workers to rapidly find, pick and pack fast moving items. Implementing ABC inventory management in the warehouse reduces labor cost and increases productivity.

ANSWER 4: Idle time is the time for which the Employer pays , but from which he obtains no production. For example if out of eight hours that worker supposed to work , the worker’s job card shows only six hours work the rest of the time is called idle time. Idle time can be of two types.

Normal idle time it is unavoidable of normal nature and is inherited in production environment. And abnormal idle time which is not caused by usual production routine.

Causes of idle time include:

a) Power outage which affects most business b) Natural disaster like what happen in Japan if is not restored for days c) The ways employers structure the work or schedule employee’s results in certain amount of

idle time. d) Lack of attendance time sheet /poor management. e) Tea break f) Moving from one department to another department g) Temporary absence from duty due to accident. h) Time lost through lack of Materials.

CVP analysis involves the analysis of how total costs, total revenues and total profits are related to sales volume, and is therefore concerned with predicting the effects of changes in costs and sales volume on profit. It is also known as 'breakeven analysis.

ANSWER 5:

Cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis expands the use of information provided by breakeven analysis. A critical part of CVP analysis is the point where total revenues equal total costs (both fixed and variable costs). At this breakeven point, a company will experience no income or loss. This BEP can be an initial examination that precedes more detailed CVP analysis.

Cost-volume-profit analysis employs the same basic assumptions as in breakeven analysis. The assumptions underlying CVP analysis are:

The behavior of both costs and revenues is linear throughout the relevant range of activity. (This assumption precludes the concept of volume discounts on either purchased materials or sales.) Costs can be classified accurately as either fixed or variable. Changes in activity are the only factors that affect costs. All units produced are sold (there is no ending finished goods inventory). When a company sells more than one type of product, the sales mix (the ratio of each product to total sales) will remain constant.

Cost Volume Profit CVP analysis is applied in the following situations: Planning and forecasting of profit at various levels of activity.

Useful in developing flexible budgets for cost control purposes.

Helps the management in decision-making in the following typical areas:

Identification of the minimum volume of activity that the enterprise must achieve to avoid incurring loss.

This analysis presumes that costs can be reliably divided into fixed and variable category. This is very difficult in practice. This analysis presumes an ability to predict cost at different activity volumes. In practice, a lot of experience may be required to reliably develop this ability. A series of break-even charts may be necessary where alternative pricing policies are under consideration. Therefore, differential price policy makes break-even analysis a difficult exercise. It assumes that variable cost fluctuates with volume proportionally, while in practical life the situation may be different.

ANSWER 1: STANDARD COSTING

SECTION B

Since one of the most important objectives of cost accounting is to provide information to the management for cost control, then cost control will be effective only if it is preceded by cost planning. In order management to indicate what they want to achieve they to have planned cost and this is where standard costing comes in, as it is one of the ways used for planning.

Standard costing refers to the principles and procedure which involve the use of predetermined standard costs relating to each element of cost, and for each line of product manufactured or service rendered. A standard cost is an estimated cost which suggests what the cost should be under given conditions. The significance of standard costing can be understood better if it is viewed in contrast to actual historical costing.

However, a standard cost can be defined as “A pre-determined cost calculated with respect to a prescribed set of working conditions, correlating technical specifications and scientific measurements of materials and labor to the price and wage rates expected to apply during the period to which the standard cost is expected to relate, with an addition of an appropriate share of budgeted overhead. Its main objective is to provide bases of control through variance accounting for the valuation of stocks and work-in-progress and in exceptional cases for fixing selling prices.

The need for standard costs include:

Cost control

Pricing decision

Performance appraisal

Cost awareness

Management by objective

The difference between Standard Costing and Historical Costing is that the standard costing is much related to historical costing because in the above definition of standard costing says that the significance of standard costing can be understand well if it is viewed in contrast to actual historical costing.

So, the system of costing in which costs are recorded after they incurred is knows as historical costing. Historical costing provides to management records of what has happened.

ANSWER 2:

A flexible budget is a budget that adjusts or flexes for changes in the volume of activity. The flexible budget is more sophisticated and useful than a static budget, which remains at one amount regardless of the volume of activity.

Flexible budget is defined as “a budget which by recognizing the difference between fixed, semi-fixed and variable costs. It is designed to change in relation to the level of activity attained.”

A flexible budget is defined as ―a budget which by recognizing the difference between fixed, semi-fixed and variable costs, is designed to change in relation to the level of activity attained.

Characteristics of Flexible Budgets Flexible budgets have several desirable characteristics. They Cover a range of activity Are dynamic Facilitate performance measurement.

Steps in flexible budgeting

The following are the steps taken during flexible budgeting.

• Deciding the range of activity to which the budget is to be prepared.

• Determining the cost behavior patterns (fixed, variable, semi-variable) for each element of cost to be included in the budget.

• Selecting the activity levels (generally in terms of production) to prepare budgets at those levels.

• Preparing the budget at each activity level selected by associating the activity level with corresponding costs. The corresponding costs to be attached with each activity level are determined in terms of their behavior, i.e., fixed, variable and semi-variable

Answer 3:

Responsibility accounting is an underlying concept of accounting performance measurement systems. The basic idea is that large diversified organizations are difficult, if not impossible to manage as a single segment, thus they must be decentralized or separated into manageable parts.

These parts or segments are referred to as responsibility centers that include: 1) revenue centers, 2) cost centers, 3) profit centers and 4) investment centers.

This approach allows responsibility to be assigned to the segment managers that have the greatest amount of influence over the key elements to be managed.

These elements include revenue for a revenue center (a segment that mainly generates revenue with relatively little costs), costs for a cost center (a segment that generates costs, but no revenue), a measure of profitability for a profit center (a segment that generates both revenue and costs) and return on investment (ROI) for an investment center (a segment such as a division of a company where the manager controls the acquisition and utilization of assets, as well as revenue and costs).

Responsibility Accounting is ―a system of management accounting‖ under which accountability is established according to the responsibility delegated to various levels of management and management information and reporting system instituted to give adequate feed back in terms of the delegated responsibility. Below is an example of how an organization which is separated into segments showing how the information flows and managed.

Significance of Responsibility Accounting The significance of responsibility accounting for management can be explained in the following way: Easy Identification: It enables the identification of individual managers responsible for satisfactory or unsatisfactory performance. Motivational Benefits : If a system of responsibility accounting is implemented, consider- able motivational benefits are assured. Data Availability : A mechanism for presenting performance data is provided. A framework of managerial performance appraisal system can be established on that basis, besides motivating managers to act in the best interests of the enterprise. Ready-hand Information: Relevant and up to the minutes information is made available which can be used to estimate future costs and or revenues and to fix up standards for departmental budgets. Planning and Decision Making: Responsibility accounting helps not only in control but in planning and decision making too. Delegation and Control: The twin objectives of management are delegating responsibility while retaining control are achieved by adoption of responsibility accounting system. Principles of responsibility Accounting The main features of responsibility accounting are that it collects and reports planned and actual accounting.

CASE STUDY ANSWER 1: Breakeven Quantity = Selling price – Variable cost

Fixed cost

=

Unit contribution Fixed cost

240,000 = 240, 000 40-25 15

= 16, 000

a) Breakeven Sales = Fixed Cost

Unit contribution X Unit selling price

= (240,000/15)

40 = 640, 0000

b) Margin of safety = Selling price –Variable cost

(Profit*Selling price)

Profit = Selling price – Total cost = 960,000- 840,000 =120

Then Margin of safety = Selling-variable cost

Profit*selling price

= 120*960,000 960,000-600,000

= 320,000

ANSWER 2:

Given: No. of shirts sold = 20,000 Profit = ? Profit = Selling price –Total cost = Selling price –(Variable cost + Fixed cost) = 20,000*40 _(20,000*25-240,000) = 800,000-500,000-240,000 =60,000

ANSWER 3:

Variable cost = 28 Given:

Price = 40

Fixed cost = 240,000

Profit = 15,000

Q = ?

Q = Price

Sales

Sales = Profit + Fixed cost Therefore: Q = Unit price

profit + fixed cost

= 12

15,000 + 240,000

=255,000 12

= 21,250
