Basic Concepts of Cost Accounting
Prior to the industrial revaluation ,
business were small & characterized by
simple market & not emphasize on cost
account but accurate BOA required.
In the 17th century , in the france , the
royal wallpaper manufactory had a cost
account system.
In 18th century , in the UK , some iron
master & potters began to produce cost
information, before industrial revaluation.
In the world war I & II ,
the important
of cost accounting Grew
with
Growth of expenditures
of defense
of the all countries.
At that time , government placed the
cost-plus contract.
In the prevailing time ,yet , GOVT has
come out with the cost-plus contract for
some such type of contract.
In the earlier time ,
Total cost = variable/direct cost
i.e. nobody had emphasized a fixed cost
,which has inevitable effect on the total cost,
so that some decision taken out, that might
be wrong .
However, the span of time ,people come
to know the importance of fixed cost ,
Which , now-a-days ,consider more
important than the variable cost.
Total cost = variable cost + fixed cost
( when )
Basic Concepts of Cost Accounting
1.pre-costing
 It is the process of
costing for cost unit
before cost incurred,
On the prediction base
 Its refers to the concept
of budgeting
2.Current costing
It the process of costing, where
cost has recorded as & when
cost incurred.
This involves careful estimates ,
being prepared of overheads &
others.
 Its aimed at collecting
information about cost, as &
when the activity take place ,
so that, as soon as, a job would
be completed & the cost of
completion would be known.
For this purpose costing must
be
3.Post costing
It means analysis of actual cost
information , as recorded in the
financial books.
Its accurate & useful in the case
of cost-plus contract, where the
price is determined , finally, on
the basis of actual cost.
What is the…
Cost control?
Cost reduction?
Cost cutting?
Cost benefit?
It means controlling the
cost up to the pre-
determined level of cost
i.e. well established
standard.
It is the process of
reducing the cost ,
permanently, without
affecting the quality of
goods.
Its aimed at , to reduce
the cost of unit , as well
as possible , even its spoil
or affecting the quality of
goods.
It is the result of any
circumstance , i.e.
temporary in nature, the
benefit of which , derived
for short span of time.
E.g.:- when any vendor
bankrupted ,in the
exhibition, raw material
received at the lower
price, then ever before ,
that’s way cost per unit is
reduce.

1. Its aimed at
maintain the costs in
accordance with the
established standard.
1. Its concerned with
reducing the cost , as
well as possible.
2. It seeks to attain
lowest possible cost
under existing
condition.
3. It recognizes no
condition as
permanent, since , a
change will resulted in
the lower cost.
3. Emphasize on
past & present.
3. Emphasize on
present & future.
i.e. std should be
maintained in the
present.
i.e. any change
resulted lower
cost in the future.
4. It’s the preventive
function.
4. It’s the corrective
function.
5. The process of cost
control ends when
the targets are
achieved.
5. The process of
cost reduction
has no visible
ends.

6. controllability
the cost , which can be
influenced by the action of a specific member of
undertaking & which can be controlled by one .
E.g. :- RM , labour , other cost etc.
the cost , which can’t
controlled by any of the action , taken over by
a specific member of undertaking.
E.g. :- fixed or period cost .
7. Normality
normal cost , which is expected
to be incurred at a given level of activity & which
is acceptable by the customer of goods .
Normal = expectable + acceptable
Note :-
only normal cost can be charged to
the product & finally on the customer of
goods .
i.e. Costs brought to the WIP a/c
Abnormal cost is the cost , which
isn’t expected to be incurred ,at certain level of
output . Its incurred due to abnormal reason,
which is unacceptable by the customer of goods to
charge on the goods.
E.g. :-
due to , the mistake of worker , 10 liter milk
spoiled in AMUL company ,in the annad , so that
price of other milk can’t rice the amul company
,with such abnormal reason.
Note :- abnormal lost always charged to the P & L A/c.
E.g. :- E.g. :-
RM + LABOUR + OTHERS EXP. 1. COST OF WASTAGE
2. ABNORMAL IDLE TIME
3. ABNORMAL OT PREMIUM

GAIN ALSO
CHARGED TO
THE P & L A/C
8. Cash outflow
these cost are involve immediate
payment of cash & also known as “ out of pocket
cost” .
i.e. salary , wages , postage , credit purchase etc.
these cost aren’t involve the
immediate payment of cash & also know as “
economic cost “.
i.e. any experienced & well trained manager of
company retired & vacate the company post .
{ never recorded in the BOA }
9. Decision making
A. Relevant cost :-
cost which are relevant &
useful for decision making.
i.e. marginal cost, differential cost,
opportunity cost , out of pocket cost
B. Irrelevant cost :-
cost which are not
relevant & useful for decision making .
i.e. sunk cost , committed cost & fixed cost .
A.Pre-determined :-
A cost which is computed
in advance before production or operation
stared , on the basis of specification of all
factors affecting cost , is known as pre-
determined cost .
That covers 3 costs , so far..
C. budgeted
cost
B. Estimated
cost
D. Standard
cost
B. Budgeted cost :-
The expected cost of manufacturing or
acquisition , often in term of a unit of production computed on
the basis of information available in advance of actual
production / purchase .
- by kohler.
It is the prospective costs since they refers to
the prediction cost .
C. Budgeted cost :-
pre- determined cost based on
Past experience
Present condition
Future expectations.
{i.e. what the cost is expected to be}
D. Standard cost :-
scientifically determined costs by mgt .
i.e. expected standard of efficient operation & relevant
necessary expenditure .
Used for price fixing & cost control through “ variance
analysis”.
{ i.e. what the cost should be }
Macro not possible
Micro Not physiable
E. Pre-production cost :-
These costs form the part of
development cost , incurred in making a trial
production run , & preliminary to formal production .
 Incurred when new factory or project in the process
of establishment & there is no formal production on
which we can charge such costs.
 Such costs normally treated as deferred revenue
expenditure i.e. miscellaneous expenses .
 It is type of capitalized cost .
F. Capitalized cost :-
These are the cost which are
Initially recorded as asset & than subsequently treated as
expenses .
i.e. deferred revenue expenditure or miscellaneous
expenditure or fictitious assets.
G. Training cost :-
These cost comprises of the trainees or learners’ all
expenses .
i.e. any expenses incurred for providing training to trainees .
H. Marginal cost :-
The amount , at any given volume of output , by
which aggregate costs are changed , if the volume of output is
increased by one unit .
I. Differential cost :-
[ i.e. incremental & decremental cost ]
It refers to the change in total cost
due to the change in
- level of activity
- technology
- process or method of production
or any decision related to these .
J. Imputed cost or notional cost :-
The cost do not involve any cash outlay .
[ it may similar to the implicit cost , sometime ]
K. Opportunity cost :-
This cost refers to the value of sacrifice made or
benefit of opportunity foregone in accepting an alternative
course of action .
[ i.e. next best alternative ]
L. Sunk cost :-
Historical costs incurred in the past are known as
sunk cost .
they paly no role I decision making in current period .
It is irrecoverable cost .
M. Shutdown cost :-
These costs , which continue to be incurred ,even
when a plant is temporarily shutdown.
i.e. rent , rates , depreciation etc.
which can’t be avoided during temporary closure of a plant .
N. Product costs :-
i. For merchandise inventory :-
cost associated with the purchase & sale
of goods .
ii. For production scenario :-
cost associated with the acquisition &
conversion of raw material & with sale of FG.
O. Absolute cost :-
these cost refer to the cost of any product ,
process or unit in its totality .
Depicted in absolute amount = absolute cost
P. Discretionary cost
 Costs , that are not tied to
a clear cause & effect
relationship between
inputs & outputs .
 Usually arise from
periodical decision .
 e.g. :-
advertisement
public relation
executive training etc.
 Costs , that are tied to a
clear cause & effect
relationship between
inputs & outputs
 Relationship is personally
observable .
 e.g. :-
DM , DL ,OHs.
{ INPUTS }
CAR , COMPUTERS etc.
{ outputs }

Basic Concepts of Cost Accounting
Here , the cost of a product is
ascertained
i.e. for single unit of output
Here , the cost are collected &
accumulated according to the jobs ,
contract , work orders etc.
This is a form of a job costing .
Here , cost ascertained for
a specific no. of articles
i.e. A LOT
Like , bricks & invitation cards are
always produced in a lot of 100 / 200
etc.
In the batch costing the
most important problem is the
determination of optimum size of the
batch .
{ i.e. how much units to be produced at
lowest cost in the single batch }
It involves two types of costs :-
1. set up / preparation cost
2. carrying cost
Formula =

per customer’s
requirement .
1. It is a method of
ascertainment of
cost for a batch in
which units
produced are
identical .
