Executive Summary
After conducting a thorough research on the costing system of refrigeration industry in
Pakistan. I concluded that, Pakistan is on of the growing Refrigeration Market over the
years in the world. Pakistan has shown massive growth in the manufacturing of Air
conditioner & Refrigerator. I was assign to conduct its costing system how these
manufacturers incur their cost to earn maximum profit with ultimate efficiency. I took
Pak Elektron ltd(PEL) as an assumption of the study. After visiting the plant in &
Finance office of PEL in Lahore I come to know that most of the Refrigerator
Manufacturers are Doing Batch production same is the case with PEL. They have an
activity based Material costing system but they incur their Labor & F.O.H. periodically
and than they divide it to different jobs done in manufacturing procedure. Because it is
very difficult to calculate Labor & FOH as per job completed. Therefore, I attached some
of the formats PEL is using for its costing system for the better understanding of the
costing system of refrigeration industry in Pakistan.
7 Managerial Accounting
Refrigeration Industry of Pakistan
Pakistan has in recent years offered a rapidly expanding market for airconditioning and
refrigeration equipment and parts. Local production has increased significantly and meets
over 75 percent of the total demand. by nearly 31 percent, averaging a growth of over 15
percent each year. Both local production and imports grew at a similar rate, a growth of
33 percent, but its share of the total market remained at approximately 23 percent. The
U.S. share of the Pakistan market is nearly 7 percent, but its share of the import market is
approximately 30 percent. Pakistan's economic conditions make it unlikely that the total
market will grow by more than 10 percent each year over the next two years. Growth is
expected to be centered on local production. The import market growth is expected to be
limited to five percent annually, and to be derived largely from demand from local
manufacturers, all of whom use imported raw materials, components and sub-components
to manufacture their products. U.S. exports are expected to increase as an increase in
local production will raise the demand for air conditioner compressors; and increasing
commercialization will increase the demand for industrial airconditioning and
refrigeration equipment, for which the U.S. already enjoys an excellent market
reputation.
The growth of the domestic industry has been encouraged by increasing demand and by
government policies which encourage local production. The Government of Pakistan
(GOP) offers lower customs duty rates to air conditioning and refrigeration equipment
manufacturers for the import of raw materials, components and sub-components which
are not manufactured locally. It also enforces a deletion program. As a result, Pakistan
now produces the country's entire demand for deep freezers, approximately 75 percent of
its demand for refrigerators, and nearly half of its requirement for airconditioners. Local
production is really an assembly-cum-manufacture process.
Although the market is continuing to grow, effective demand has been surpressed as a
result of the slowdown in the country's economy: bank loans are no longer readily
available to manufacturers, and current lending rates are high; and consumers face higher
prices because of the fall in the value of the rupee vis a vis the dollar. The restricted
demand has now led to a reduction in production by some units, while others have not be
able to increase production as planned.
8 Managerial Accounting
Raw material
Imports are now comprised largely of raw materials such as polystyrene sheets (ABS and
HIPS), aluminum sheets, steel sheets,copper tubing, electrostatic paint powder, CFC-free
gases, chemicals for insulation materials manufacture; components such as compressors,
thermostats, switches, electric motors, door gaskets, evaporators, driers and electronic
controls; and of complete units such as industrial airconditioning equipment,
medical storage refrigerators, blood banks and cold storage plants. Pakistan's financial
crisis and its trade imbalance has led to repeated devaluations of the Pakistan Rupee that
have eroded the consumer's purchasing power. This has resulted in a curtailment of
production plans of the well-established manufacturers, and the reduction in production
of the less efficient units.
Manufacturers face other difficulties as well: bank loans are available only at interest
rates varying from 12 to 18 percent; and production costs have increased as a result of the
increase in electricity charges. A semi-government manufacturing facility for domestic
refrigerators and airconditioners has ceased manufacture, a private sector firm has
curtailed its production of split units, and yet another private sector manufacturer has
closed its deep freezer manufacturing line and postponed plans for the assembly of split
airconditioners. As a result, the total market is not expected to grow beyond 10 percent
and the import market by a mere 5 percent over the next two years. While the demand for
raw materials is expected to increase, the demand for components can be expected to
increase at a diminishing rate as production units implement the GOP's deletion program.
According to this program, all local manufacturers of domestic appliances are required to
chalk out a deletion program, spread over a maximum of five years, within which time
they are required to achieve a minimum deletion in the manufacture of components to the
extent of 75 percent of the C and F value of the inputs of the manufactured items.
Product Definition
This sector analysis of the airconditioning and refrigeration equipment market includes
the following products identified by their corresponding Harmonized System (H.S.)
Codes:
H.S. Code Product/Product Categories
8415 Air conditioning equipment, residential/
9 Managerial Accounting
- commercial and industrial, and parts
8414.30 Compressors for refrigerating (and air-
- conditioning) equipment.
8418.10-69 Refrigerators, freezers and other
- refrigerating equipment, electric or
- other, and parts; and cold storage
equipment.
Suppliers
Pakistan's major suppliers are South Korea for built-up refrigerators, and Japan for
airconditoners. Its major suppliers of parts and components as well as of industrial
refrigeration equipment are South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Italy, the United States,
France, and more recently, Malayasia. U.S. imports
in this industry sector have been concentrated on the import of compressors for
airconditioners.
Pakistan's market for airconditioning and refrigeration equipment and parts has shown
steady overall growth over the last decade. The domestic industry has been spurred by
growing demand and by government policies which encourage local manufacture.
Several manufacturing units have in recent years increased
or diversified their production for the assembly-cum-manufacture of air-conditioning and
refrigeration equipment. As a result, the total market for air-conditioning and
refrigeration equipment grew by nearly 180 percent over the last decade and has grown
by over 30 percent over the last three years. Duties made imports of built-up refrigeration
and airconditioning units unattractive.. Domestic production meets theentire country's
demand for deep freezers, 75 percent of the demand for refrigerators, 50 percent of the
demand for split airconditioning units and 60 percent of the demand for window
airconditioning units. Water coolers are no longer imported as the production
of two or three domestic units meets market demand. Their supply is supplemented when
required by a number of small units based chiefly in Punjab province.

Costing system of Refrigeration Industry
After making an in depth study of refrigeration industry of Pakistan we can move forward
to study the implications of costing system of refrigeration industry. As we know that
Managerial accounting suggests us to go for Job order costing in batch production for the
engineering industry like refrigeration. Therefore, we select Pak Electron Ltd. To further
11 Managerial Accounting
investigate the implications, fundamentals of Batch production on the profitability of
manufacturing process of PEL.

Cost System in Batch Production
Costs are assigned to each job or batch
A job may be for a specific order of inventory
May be a unit: ex.
or a Batch of units: ex.
A key feature:
Measures costs for each job completed - not for set time periods; Average cost per
unit computed on a per job basis.
o JOB ORDER COST FLOWS
A. In general, the cost flow parallels the physical flow of the materials as they
are converted into finished goods.
Manufacturing costs are assigned to Work in Process Inventory.
18 Managerial Accounting
Cost of completed jobs is transferred to Finished Goods Inventory.
When units are sold, the cost is transferred to Cost of Goods Sold.
B. Recording Direct Materials, Direct Labor and
Overhead costs
Use a Job cost sheet to record the costs related to a specific job on a daily basis;
used to determine the total and unit costs of a completed job.
o DIRECT MATERIAL COSTS (DM)
Debit Raw Materials Inventory when Purchase direct or indirect materials
Materials requisition form shows written authorization when materials are issued
to (i.e., used in) production
Debit Work-in-Process Inventory when direct materials are Used
Indirect Materials used are treated as an overhead cost. (i.e., Debit Manufacturing
Overhead Account as shown later)
o DIRECT LABOR COSTS (DL)
Consists of gross earnings of factory workers, employer payroll taxes on such
earnings, and fringe benefits incurred by the employer.
Debit Work-in-Process Inventory when direct labor is recorded (ie., whether paid
or accrued) based on time tickets
Indirect labor is treated as an overhead cost. (i.e., Debit Manufacturing Overhead
Account as shown later)
o MANUFACTURING OVERHEAD COSTS (OH)
Assigning manufacturing overhead costs to a specific job is difficult (i.e., it is an
indirect cost). Therefore, it is assigned to products using an allocation process
Manufacturing overhead is a Control Account. It is used to keep track of two
things: Actual Overhead costs incurred and Overhead costs assigned to inventory
(also known as overhead applied).
DEBIT Manufacturing Overhead Control when
actual manufacturing overhead costs are incurred.
Note: The subsidiary ledger consists of individual accounts for each type of
overhead cost, but the controlling entry is a debit to Manufacturing OH

Batch costing is a modified form of job costing. While job costing is concerned with
costing of jobs that are executed against specific orders of the customers, batch costing is
used where articles are manufactured in definite batches. The articles are usually kept in
stock for selling to customers on demand. The term batch refers to the lot in which the
articles are to be manufactured. Whenever a particular product is required, one unit of
such product is not produced but a lot of say 500 or 1000 units of such product are
produced. It is therefore also known as “Lot Costing”. This method of costing is used in
case of pharmaceutical or drug industries, ready-made garment factories, industries
manufacturing component parts of radio sets, television sets, watches, etc.
The costing procedure for batch costing is similar to that under job costing except with
the difference that a batch becomes the cost unit instead of a job. Separate job cost sheets
are maintained for each batch of products. Each batch is allotted a number. Material
requisitions are prepared batchwise, the direct labour is engaged batchwise and the
overheads are also recovered batchwise. Cost per unit is ascertained by dividing the total
cost of a batch by number of items produced in that batch. Ordinary principles of
inventory control are used. Production orders are issued only when the stock of finished
goods reaches the ordering level. In case the batches are repetitive, the costing work is
much simplified.
Since in batch costing production is done in batches and each batch consists of a number
of units, the determination of optimum quantity to constitute an economical batch is all
the more important. Such a quantity can be fixed on the basis of same formulae and
principles as are applicable to economic order quantity of materials.
23 Managerial Accounting
Economic Batch Quantity = 2U x P
S
Where:
U = Annual demand
P = Setting up and order placing costs per batch
S = Storage or inventory carrying over cost per unit per annum

Break Even Point is the level of sales required to reach a position of no profit, no loss. At
Break Even Point, the contribution is just sufficient to cover the fixed cost. The
organisation starts earning profit when the sales cross the Break Even Point. Break Even
Point can be calculated either in terms of units or in terms of cash or in terms of capacity
utilization. It can be calculated as follows:
BEP in units = Fixed Cost / Contribution per unit
BEP in cash = Fixed Cost / P.V. Ratio
BEP in terms of capacity utilization = BEP in units / Total capacity x 100

The positive difference between the operating sales volume and the break even volume is
known as the margin of safety. The larger the difference, the safer the organization is
from a loss making situation. It can be calculated either in cash or in units.
Margin of Safety can be derived as follows:
Margin of Safety = Actual Sales – Break even Sales
Margin of Safety (in cash) = Profit___
P/V Ratio
Margin of Safety (in units) = Profit______
Contribution/unit
What is Profit/Volume Ratio?
Profit-Volume Ratio expresses the relationship between contribution and sales. It
indicates the relative profitability of diff products, processes and departments.
Formulae:
P/V ratio = S – V/ S X 100
= Cont / Sales X 100
= Change in profit or loss / Change in sales
Profit planning & Budgeting
30 Managerial Accounting
What is Budgetary Control? What are the steps involved in Budgetary Control?
Budgetary control is the management process of using budgets to monitor and control the
performance of the organization. This is done by comparing the planned values (in the
budget) with the actual values as they occur during the year.
A budget has been defined as a financial and quantitative statement prepared and
approved prior to a defined period of time, of the policy to be pursued during that period
for the purpose of attaining a given objective.
The following steps are involved in Budgetary Control:
1. Establishment of Budgets: Targets are fixed for each function relating to the
responsibilities of individual executives.
2. Measurement of actual performance.
3. Comparison of actual performance with budgeted performance to detect deviation.
4. Analysis of the causes of variations and reporting
What are the uses of diff budgets?
It serves a declaration of policies
Defines the objectives/ targets for executives, at all levels.
Means of coordination of activities
Means of communication
Facilitates centralized control
Helps in planning activities
COMPETITIVE PRIORITIES:COMPETITIVE PRIORITIES:

LOCATION:
PAK ELEKTRON was set up in 1956, at that time the location site was selected outside
Lahore City 14km Ferozpur road, Kot Lakhpat Industrial Area. The site for the purposes
31 Managerial Accounting
of the operation was selected by adopting the judgmental method and no sophisticated
technique was utilized. The following were the dominant factors, which moved the
management to select the site for the facility location.
CAPACITY:APACITY:
“Capacity is the maximum rate of output for a facility”.
CAPACITY MEASURE:CAPACITY MEASURE:
In every department PEL has got several machines which are used in the production
ofvarious appliances and electrical equipment whose capacity is measured in term of the
output measures.
CAPACITY STRATEGIES
CAPACITY CUSHION
On the average each department has the capacity cushion which varies from 5% to 15%
ECONOMIES OF SCALEECONOMIES OF SCALE
PEL is trying to reduce its cost through enjoying the economies of scales in his processes.
Because of the purchasing in the bulk and using the activities as the measure of the
overhead charges PEL has been successful in reducing
The cost of materials
The cost struck in the processes
The cost in the overhead.
REASON FOR WINDING UP OF COMPRESSOR BUSINESS:
In case of compressors the company failed to get economies of scale that’s why they have
closed the manufacturing of compressor. MR.FARYAL the production engineer has told
me that to get the economies of scale or to cover the fixed expenses they must have to
produce 3,50,000 compressors, where as their internal consumption is 1,00,000
compressors, so they must have to sell 1,50,000 compressors ( 60 % ) in outside market.
But at out side their compressor’s demand is not as much as required. So as a result they
have closed their business of compressor.
BOTTLE NECK :BOTTLE NECK :
32 Managerial Accounting
In the whole production process there are certain stages, which are more time consuming
than the others. So this limits the out put rate to a minimum level to that which was
expected.
In the process of the refrigerator manufacturing the bottleneck is created at the thermo
foaming machine.
FORCASTING
DEMAND FORECASTINGDEMAND FORECASTING
“A forecast is the prediction of future events used for the planning purposes”.
PEL is also using this technique for the purpose of the getting the idea of the demand.
The basic demand of power division is coming from the KESC and from eight divisions
of WAPDA. They are the major customers of the company. The other customers of the
company are those industries, which have their own power plants.
FORECASTING TECHNIQUES:FORECASTING TECHNIQUES:
There the three forecasting techniques are available for the purpose of the forecasting of
the demand, which are as under.
Judgmental Method.
Causal Method.
Time Series Method.
The usage of these techniques depends upon the availability of the data about the past.
PEL is the company on go.
FORECASTING AT PEL:
The forecasting technique, which is being followed by PEL is the qualitative technique.
JUDGEMENTAL METHODS :
The main reason for the selection of this method of the forecasting is that they do not
have the data for the past. The following are the methods, which they are utilizing for the
purpose of the demand estimation under the Judgmental Method.
SALES FORCE ESTIMATE
33 Managerial Accounting
Sales force estimate of forecasts compiled by the members of the company’s sales force
(their dealers in each region) about the future demand of the product. They are using this
technique because they believe that their estimates are correct since the dealers are much
near to the market. MARKETING DEPATMENT is actually involved much in
forecasting. They observe the trend of the market and they set their target of sale then
they tell to the production that what is their target then production department make
productions according to the target set by marketing department.
Target set by the marketing department for this year up till JULY,31 is given below:
One more thing which is interesting is that demand of different colors of refrigerators is
different in different regions.
NAIVE METHOD
This is the simplest method of the forecasting. PEL gets their demand forecast by this
method with it. They see the previous year’s demand coming from the WAPDA, KESC
and the other new companies. Then if any change is coming in their demand that is also
being incorporated by them. The demand from the new industries is taken from the
sanctioning of the loans by the financial institutions.
MATERIAL MANAGEMENT
“ Material management is concerned about short range decisions about supplies,
inventories, production level, staffing patterns, schedules and distribution”.
Decisions in these areas affect the whole of the organization, either directly or indirectly.
IMPORTANCE OF THE MATERIALS MANAGEMENT:
Because the whole of the organization depends upon the materials so it is very important.
The other reason behind it is that if of short range so it desires more of the attention of the
management. It is important for the PEL also.
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
“ Inventory is a stock of anything held to meet the future demand of organization”.
For an organization Inventory Management is very important process.
INVENTORY CONTROL SYSTEM
34 Managerial Accounting
The computer program, monitoring chart, E.O.Q. System & ABC Analysis can give the
amount to be ordered to the supplier.
The next step is that when to reorder for the purpose of the production if the inventory the
inventory goes below the limit. PEL has not designed any specific system to control the
inventory but anyhow they are using the following two systems to control the inventory.
1.CONTINUOUS REVIEW SYSTEM
Whenever the number of the units is drawn out of the inventory stores they judge the
position of the inventory that whether it is a time to reorder or not. In this way the
inventory is controlled.
GM of store dept. makes continuous review, random checking is also done and their
computer system also maintains the record of inventory and inform then about the
position of the inventory.
2.PERIODIC REVIEW SYSTEM
The second method of inventory control system is periodic review system. In this system
the inventory position is judge periodically instead of continuously.
INVENTORY SYSTEM IN PEL
PEL are using the periodic review system. They make the review charts on quarter basis
and after three months they see that whether the inventory is with in the limits or not. But
they told that there are limited number of suppliers & company is having a very strong
relationship with them that’s why the lead time is just in HOURS therefore the system
they are using is very near to JIT system.
REORDER POINT:REORDER POINT:
Optimal replenish inventory system is used by PEL. In more technical terms the
minimum level serves as reorder point.
For managing the Inventory of different types, The Company divides the inventory into
two broad categories.
1. Raw material Inventory
35 Managerial Accounting
2. Finished goods Inventory
MATERIAL REQUIREMENT PLANNING
As such company does not prepare any formal “material requirement plan”. Reason for
not preparing the plan is that the operations of the company are simple. In the Appliance
division, major operations involve the assembling of parts. When the benefits of the MRP
are compared against the cost and time for preparing the MRP, it is believed that the
operations are too simple to use any such plan.
However it doesn’t means that no planning is done for the raw material and components
material planning is done for the items that have no independent demand.
It is based on the following; three inputs, which the company is using.
B.O.M.
Production Schedule.
Inventory Records.
FLOW OF ACTIVITES
The flow of activities with respect to M.R.P. in the company.
ASP is prepared first followed by the production plan prepared by the Production Dept.
From here plan goes to the P & P. Dept.
In case if marketing Dept. suggests some changes in the design and specification of the
product, the requirements are mentioned to the Research and Development Dept. which
then work on the projects. Dept. identifies the items required and their quantity for single
product. From here the report goes to the P &P Dept., which after consulting Production
Dept. place orders.
QUALITY CONTROL:QUALITY CONTROL:
THE PROCESS OF QUALITYTHE PROCESS OF QUALITY
ISO has defined their quality standards. These standards are checked at every stage in
PEL. In PEL standards of quality in manuals indicating critical quality standards.
QUALITY DEPARTMENT
Its hierarchy of the quality control department is as follows:
36 Managerial Accounting
RAW MATERIAL INSPECTION
When raw material is received the quality of raw material is inspected according to the
military standards MIL_STD_105E. According to these standards if the personnel of
receiving department will inspect according to the military standards. AQL4. If there is a
lot of 500 and they choose 13 sample from the whole lot then they select the sample from
the upper and lower and right and left side of the whole packet. It means that they select
the sample by way of diversifying the area. If the 2 units of the sample are rejected then
the whole lot will be rejected and if the lot is rejected then they call back the vendors and
vendor check that lot again. If the lot is very much needed by the production department
then they place a written request. The 100% inspection is done on it. In this case, they
call the vendors or their inspectors and they check it on 100% basis. But this happens in
very rare cases.
On the other hand if the lot is accepted then it is remarked as GRL (good received
lot) and sent to the store. While four copies of GRL are made and sent to the following
four departments:
Purchase department
Quality control department
To store
For computer entry
QUALITY CONTROL
PEL has also got certification for its two products. They have got this certification from
the Swedish firm and consultants “SGS”. They have got the 9002, which cover the area
from the production to after sale services. The following are the products for which have
gotten 9000 certification.
COMPRESSORS.
ENERGY METERS.
For the instrument transformers & refrigerator they are trying to get it.
QUALITY POLICY
The continuous improvement of all services through total
Involvement of all employees.
37 Managerial Accounting
The developing and the strengthening of partnership with external and internal customers
and suppliers.
Providing innovative and higher quality products and services to achieve total customer
satisfaction by understanding their requirements and anticipating their future expectations
or needs.
AGGREGATE PLANNING
Aggregate planning is the projected statement of production rate, workforce level and
inventory holding based on estimates of customer requirements and capacity limitations.
This statement is time phased
Aggregate plan is based on Annual Sales Plan (ASP). On the basis of this plan, Annual
production plan (APP) is made. The production plan comprises the whole strategy for one
year regarding
Production rate
Workforce level
Inventory level
The production plan considers the monthly production pace by its operational production
sheet.
Departments of Production, Marketing, Planning and Procurements, and personal &
Administration and Finance Dept. all work with collaboration to make the plan.
LINKAGE TO OTHER PLANS
In PEL on the top of the planning is the business plan. This plan is a projected statement
or income, costs and profits for the next years Including statement of balance sheet,
income statement and cash flow, which shows the source and resources the company.
TRANSPORTATION MODE
PEL is mostly using the road as the transportation mode. If they are Supplying. Their
products inter city then the trucks are used. But if they are sending it to outstation then
they use large trucks to send them at the price. The reason for their selection of this mode
is that they have to supply to the Destination of the user or customer.
38 Managerial Accounting
PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT PROCESS
The production department of PEL is manufacturing two finished products.
(1)Refrigerator
(2)Compressor
All the operations of the production department are taking place with the help of
machinery. In production department there are total 550 workers, which are subdivided
according to the sub-sections. The production takes places after the issuance of Annual
Sales Plan by Marketing Department. When the production department receives that plan
then the next step is to prepare a Annual Production Plan. This annual production plan is
then further divided into monthly plans that are called Operational Plans. The operational
plans further down filtered to the weekly plans, which ultimately result in the daily
production. On the average, the production of refrigerator is 250 per day with some
variation.
The refrigerator, called “PEL COOL” is specially designed to work most efficiently
under the extreme climatic conditions of Pakistan. The 313 components are required to
make a refrigerator. First of all the Research & Development technically develops a
single refrigerator that is manufactured in thousands by the production department in
different models and colors. All the specifications about machinery and product are
taken from the Engineering and R & d departments.
The production department is also manufacturing the high-tec compressors for
refrigerators and deep – freezers. It is the first such plant in Pakistan that is
manufacturing all types of compressors for refrigerators and for deep-freezers.
The production department of PEL has following sub-sections.
* Compressor Section * Dyes & Molding Section
* Press – Shop * Plastic Injection Molding
* Paint Section * Refrigerator Assembly Line
39 Managerial Accounting
TRAINING PROGRAMME:
They have also trained their quality inspectors. They have a program to train the quality
inspector and classes are also held. But they have no proper academy. Different
organizations send their employees, which trained them.
ISO 9000
Why ISO is Required FOR PEL
Quality management system given by ISO 9000 acts as a support to achieve customer
satisfaction benefits of ISO 9000.
PEL competing against foreign competitor in the local market.
Raise company image.
A step toward total quality management.
Perceived commitment to quality.
PEL need it because we promote the slogan “ The quality conscious company”.
More united workforce through total employee participation.
ISO Certified Product
The certified product of PEL is Energy Meter. The productions of meters are started on
August 1994. In January 1997 it got the ISO 9002 certificates. After the certification the
complaint level of every meter dropped to less than 0.07%.
On the job training competency certificate is issued. The team assesses weather they learn
anything or not.
The backbone of this system corrective and prevention action.
All the workers are trained here for skilled jobs.
There are six section in the energy meters different supervisors are divided according to
the section.

Standard costing is defined as – “the preparation and use of Standard Costs, their
comparison with actual costs and the analysis of variance as to their causes and point
of incidence.
ICWA London had defined Standard Costing as – “the preparation of Standard Costs
and applying them to measure the variations of actual costs from standard costs and
analyzing the causes of variations with a view to maintain maximum efficiency in
production”.
42 Managerial Accounting
Material Variances:
Material Cost Variance [MCV]
It is the difference between the standard cost of material specified for the
output achieved and the actual cost of direct material used. It is said to be
favourable when standard cost is more than actual cost and adverse when
actual cost exceeds standard costs. It is further divided into Material Usage
Variance and Material Price Variance.
MCV = SC – AC
= (SQ x SP) – (AQ x AP)
Material Usage Variance [MUV]
It is that portion of the Material Cost Variance which is due to the difference
between the Standard Quantity specified for the actual output and the Actual
Quantity used for the actual output. It is said to be favourable when standard
quantity is more than actual quantity and adverse when actual quantity
exceeds standard quantity.
MUV = (SQ – AQ) x SP
Material Price Variance [MPV]
It is that portion of the Material Cost Variance which is due to the difference
between the Standard Price specified for the Actual Output and the Actual
Price paid. Material Price Variance is said to be favourable when the actual
price is less than the standard price and adverse when the actual price is more
than the standard price.
MPV = (SP – AP) x AQ
Verification
Material Cost Variance = Material Usage Variance + Material Price Variance
i.e. MCV = MUV + MPV
Labour Variances:
Labour Cost Variance [LCV]
It is the difference between the standard cost of labour specified for the output
achieved and the actual cost of direct labour used. It is said to be favourable
when standard cost is more than actual cost and adverse when actual cost
43 Managerial Accounting
exceeds standard costs. It is further divided into Labour Efficiency Variance
and Labour Rate Variance.
LCV = SC – AC
= (SH x SR) – (AH x AR)
Labour Efficiency Variance [LEV]
It is that portion of the Labour Cost Variance which is due to the difference
between the Standard Hours specified for the actual output and the Actual
Hours used for the actual output. It is said to be favourable when standard
hour is more than actual hour and adverse when actual hour exceeds standard
hour.
LEV = (SH – AH) x SR
Labour Rate Variance [LRV]
It is that portion of the Labour Cost Variance which is due to the difference
between the Standard Rate specified for the Actual Output and the Actual
Rate paid. Labour Rate Variance is said to be favourable when the actual rate
is less than the standard rate and adverse when the actual rate is more than the
standard rate.
LRV = (SR – AR) x AH
Verification
Labour Cost Variance = Labour Efficiency Variance + Labour Rate Variance
i.e. LCV = LEV + LRV
CONCLUSION & SUGGESTIONS
If we conclude this report of costing system of refrigeration industry, we come to know
the following relevant points which needs the attention of the management of the
company while performing the functions of the operations.
NO PROPER INVENTORY
The organization does not have proper inventory planning by the management due to
which heavy amount of the money is being put by the company in the inventory.
PEL has the strength also that it has a good repute for the company as being the quality
conscious company. It has own experts for the purpose of the control of the quality of
44 Managerial Accounting
products. Due to the good sight selection for the purpose of the power division the
company has more access to the whole of the markets of the country. The company also
has well established system of the distribution of the company although it is not the
integrated one but it is working smoothly.
JUDGMENTAL METHODS
The management of this company does not use the sophisticated technique while making
or performing the function of the demand forecasting by the company. They rely more on
the judgmental methods for the purpose of the projection by the company about their
sales.
The following are the suggestions being provided by me after visiting of the company.
PROPER INVENTORY LEVEL.
The company should also make some of the methods for the purpose of the keeping the
inventory at the optimal level. Proper planning of the material can decrease the amount of
the investment in the inventories by the company.
USE SOPHISTICATED TECHNIQUES OF FORECASTING.
The company is an excellent company and it has good image in the mind of the
consumers. But they are not applying the statistical tools for the purpose of the forecast
of sales which eventually results into having the excessive amounts of inventory by the
company. Causal and the time series methods are the good estimate provider about the
forecasting and if the management adopted these forecasting techniques no doubt they
will be benefiting the company a lot.
Labor & F.O.H. rate applied periodically, it would be a great idea if PEL try it by
calculating per job cost individually. We know its difficult to measure but it would be
very useful of calculation the actual cost for the maximum efficiency level.
