Nature of transactions Transactions related with production activities only are accounted for in this method. Donations, dividend received, etc. are not taken into account as these are not related with production.
All economic transactions are taken into account, whether these are related with production or not.
SELLING PRICE
By cost accounting the price of the product can be fixed more accurately in a scientific manner.
In the absence of information about cost, the selling price fixed by this method may be misleading.
Profit & Loss Profit calculated by this method expresses the result of production activities.
Profit calculated by this method expresses the profit of the organization.
Information about cost Full and correct information about the cost, per unit cost, various elements of cost, etc. of the product is made available in cost accounting.
Financial accounting does not give such detailed and correct information.
