Overheads• It is further divided in to –1. Factory overheads. Also known as works

overheads, Production overheads, Manufacturing overheads etc.

2. Administration Overheads. Also known as Office overheads and

3. Selling and Distribution overheads.

EOQ• EOQ is such a quantity at which the total

cost of ordering and carrying for the year is lowest and thus economical.

• EOQ can be calculated using wilson’s formula, as follows :

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 8

EOQ Formula

2 x Annual Consumption x Ordering cost per order

Carrying cost per unit p.a.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 9

Total Ordering Cost p.a.= No. of orders p.a. x ordering cost per order

= Annual consumption x ordering cost per orderOrder Size

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 10

Total Carrying Cost p.a.= Average Inventory x Carrying cost per unit p.a.

= Order Size x [ Purchase price p.u.2 x C.C. % p.a. ]

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 11

At EOQ• [ Total ordering cost p.a. + Total carrying

cost p.a. ] is minimum • i.e. Total inventory Management Cost is

minimum and• Total ordering cost p.a. = Total carrying

cost p.a.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 12

EOQ with Discount• Normally when we calculate EOQ using

Wilson’s square root formula, it is based on an assumption that the purchase price per unit of raw material is constant and that there is no discount.

• However, when the purchase price of raw material changes, the above formula does not work. We have to use another approach to calculate the answer.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 13

EOQ with Discount• The logic of EOQ however, remains the

same i.e. minimisation of total cost.• Now we will have to calculate the total of

[purchase cost p.a. + carrying cost p.a. + ordering cost p.a.]. If this cost is minimum, then we have reached at EOQ.

• In the formula based EOQ, we tried to minimise only two costs i.e. [ carrying cost p.a. + ordering cost p.a.].

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 14

Inventory Levels• In order to manage the inventory better,

management may fix certain inventory levels. These are :

1. Reorder Level 2. Maximum Level3. Minimum Level4. Average Stock Level and5. Safety Stock Level or Danger Level

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 15

Inventory Levels• Calculation of inventory levels depend on

3 factors, which are :1. Reorder Qty.2. Reorder Period or Lead Time3. Consumption Speed or Usage Rate

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 16

Points to remember1. Reorder Qty. : It provides the answer of

how much to order ? 2. Reorder Level : It provides the answer of

when to order ?3. Reorder Period : It is the time gap

between placing an order and physical receipt of material.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 17

Reorder Qty.• It is the quantity which we order to the

supplier of material.• It is generally EOQ or any other Qty. as

given in the question.• This quantity is fixed. It means, every

time you will give an order for this much quantity only.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 18

Reorder Period or Lead Time• It is the time gap between placing an

order and actual receipt of material.• Based on past experience, it may be

further classified in to (a) Minimum lead time (b) Maximum lead time and (c) Average or Normal lead time.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 19

Consumption Speed or Usage Rate• It is the speed of consumption of raw

material in production process.• Consumption speed depends on

production speed.• Based on past experience, we may

classify usage rate further in to 3 parts i.e. (a) Minimum usage rate (b) Maximum usage rate and (c) Average or normal usage rate.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 20

Reorder Level :-It is the level of stock at which a fresh order for purchase is given. It is calculated as :

= Maximum usage rate x Maximum lead time

Note : In case of insufficient data, one may use the following formula of Reorder level= Average usage rate x Average lead time

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 21

Minimum Level :-• It is the level below which, stock is not expected to go. If the stock goes below this level, then the purchase manager has to initiate follow up action with the supplier. It can be calculated as:

= Reorder level - [ Average usage rate x Average lead time ]

•This level will ensure that there is no understocking of goods, and production is not hampered due to shortage of material.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 22

Maximum Level :-It is the level beyond which stock is not expected to go. It is fixed to avoid overstocking.

Management will investigate the matter if stock goes beyond maximum level. It can be calculated as :

= Reorder level - (Min. usage rate x Min. lead time) + Reorder Qty. (EOQ)

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 23

Average stock Level :-This level just indicates that on an average how much stock is lying in the stores. There are 2 formulae to calculate average stock level :

A] = 1/2 (Minimum Level + Maximum Level)

OR

B] = Min Level + (1/2 of EOQ)

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 24

Safety Stock Level• It is also known as danger level.• Sometimes, management fixes reorder level

using the formula of [average lead time x average usage rate]. In such case, it is required to maintain the safety stock.

• There is no fixed formula for calculation of safety stock. Management uses it’s own discretion to decide safety stock level. However, the following formula is generally used.

• Normal usage rate x time required for urgent purchase

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 25

Safety Stock Level

• If stock goes below this level, then purchase manager will initiate an action of emergency purchase of material from alternative supplier.

• If safety stock is given in the question, then the formula for Reorder Level shall be :

• Safety stock + [Av. usage rate x Av. lead time]• However, it is important to note that, if the

formula for reorder level changes, then all the remaining answers will automatically change.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 26

ABC Analysis

• In manufacturing concerns, there are thousands of items of material. Management cannot pay equal attention to all the items in inventory. Management’s time is also costly and precious.

• In such case, all the items in inventory are divided in 3 parts, known as Category A, Category B and Category C.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 27

ABC Analysis• Category A items are those, which are very few

in numbers but they account for very high value of annual consumption.

• Category C items are those, which are very high in number but have a very low consumption value and

• The leftover items are put in Category B.• Category A items are paid highest attention,

Category B items are paid moderate attention and Category C items are paid lowest attention.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 28

Labour Cost

• It is a manpower cost.• Labour cost is divided in two parts : (1)

Direct cost and (2) Indirect cost• Direct labour cost is directly charged to

production as a part of prime cost • Indirect labour cost is charged to

respective overheads account.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 29

Labour Remuneration system

• It is the most important area of Labour Cost topic.• We will try to understand various methods of labour remuneration using some key data.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 30

Key Data Time Rate = Rs. 30 per hour Standard time allowed for one piece = 20 min.

Piece rate per unit = Rs. 30 x 20 min. 60 min

= Rs. 10 per unitActual production in a day of 8 hours -

Workers A = 30 units Workers B = 24 unitsWorkers C = 20 units

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 31

1) Time Rate system -Wages = Rate per hour x no. of hours worked A’s wages = Rs. 30 x 8 hours

Rs. 240

B’s wages = Rs. 30 x 8 hours Rs. 240

C’s wages = Rs. 30 x 8 hours Rs. 240

In this system wages are provided irrespective of efficiency and output produced by worker.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 32

2) Straight piece rate system:Wages = Rate per unit x no. of units produced

A’s wages = Rs. 10 x 30 units = Rs. 300

B’s wages = Rs. 10 x 24 units = Rs. 240

C’s wages = Rs. 10 x 20 units = Rs. 200

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 33

3) Differential piece rate:a) Taylor’s differential piece rate system –

125% of normal piece rate Equal to or more than 100%

83% of normal piece rate Less than 100%

Piece Rate Percentage of efficiency

Efficiency = Actual output x 100Standard output

Standard output expected in actual hours = 8 hours x 60 min. 20 min. / unit

= 24 units

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 34

A’s efficiency = 30 units x 100 = 125%24 units

B’s efficiency = 24 units x 100 = 100%24 units

C’s efficiency = 20 units x 100 = 83.33%24 units

Wages = No. of units produced x differential piece rate A’s wages = 30 units x (125% of Rs.10)

= 30 units x Rs.12.5 = Rs. 375B’s wages = 24 units x (125% of Rs.10)

= 24 units x Rs.12.5 = Rs. 300C’s wages = 20 units x (83% of Rs.10)

= 20 units x Rs. 8.3 = Rs. 166

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 35

b) Merrick’s Differential piece rate system –

Ordinary piece rate 110% of ordinary piece rate 130% of ordinary piece rate

Up to 83% Above 83% to 100%Over 100%

Payment of wages Efficiency

A’s wages = 30 units x (130% of Rs. 10)= 30 units x Rs.13 = Rs. 390

B’s wages = 24 units x (110% of Rs. 10)= 24 x 11 = Rs. 264

C’s wages = 20 units x (10 x 110%)= Rs. 220

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 36

4) Gantt Task Bonus Plan:

Guaranteed time wages120% of the time rate 120% of ordinary piece rate

Below standard At standard Above standard

PaymentOutput

A’s wages = No. Of units x 120% of Rs. 10(Above standard) = 30 units x Rs.12 = Rs. 360B’s wages = Time taken x 120% of Rs. 30(At standard) = 8 hrs. x Rs. 36 = Rs. 288C’s wages = 8 hrs. x Rs. 30(Below standard) = Rs. 240

5) Halsey Premium Plan Total wages = Basic wages + Incentive bonus

= (Hours worked x rate per hour) + 50% (*Time saved x Rate / hour)

Time Saved = Time allowed – Time taken Time Allowed = Standard time required for actual outputTime taken = Actual hours worked for actual output

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 38

WORKER – A :Time allowed to A – 1 unit 20 minFor actual output 30 units ?

30 units x 20 min. = 600 minutes i.e. 10 hours

Time saved by A = 10 hrs. – 8 hrs. = 2 hrs

A’s wages = (Hours worked x Rate/hr.) + 50% (time saved x Rate/hr.) = (8 hrs. x Rs. 30) + 50% (2 hrs. x Rs. 30)= Rs. 240 + Rs. 30= Rs. 270

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 39

WORKER – B :

Time allowed = 24 units x 20 min. = 480 minutes = 8 hours Time saved by B = 8 hrs. – 8 hrs. = 0

As no time is saved by worker B, no bonus is payable to him. Only the basic wages shall be given. B’s wages = 8 hrs. x Rs.30 = Rs. 240

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 40

WORKER – C:

Time allowed = 20 units x 20 min. = 400 minutes = 6.67 hoursTime Saved = 6.67 – 8 hrs. = – 1.33 hrs.

Negative time saved is treated as no time saved. Hence only basic wages are payable. C’s wages = (8 hrs. x Rs. 30) = Rs. 240

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 41

6) Rowan System:Total wages = Basic wages + Incentive bonus

Total wages = (Hours worked x Rate per hour) +Time saved x (hours worked x Rate/hr.) Time allowed

Total wages = Basic wages + Time saved x Basic wages Time allowed

A’s wages = (8 hrs. x Rs. 30) + [2/10 x (8 hrs. x Rs.30)]= Rs. 240 + Rs. 48 = Rs. 288

Worker B and worker C have saved no time, hence, only the basic wages are payable to them i.e. Rs. 240 each.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 42

7) Barth Variable sharing plan :

Wages = Rate per hour x Standard hours x Actual hours worked

A’s Wages = Rs.30 x 10 hrs x 8 hrs = Rs. 30 x 8.94 hrs.= Rs. 268.33

B’s Wages = Rs. 30 x 8 hrs x 8 hrs = Rs. 30 x 8 hours = Rs. 240

C’s Wages = Rs. 30 x 6.67 hrs x 8 hrs = Rs. 30 x 7.3 hrs = Rs. 219.14

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 44

A’s Efficiency = 125%A’s wages = (8 hrs x Rs. 30) + 45% x (8 hrs x Rs.30)

= Rs. 240 + 108= Rs. 348

B’s Efficiency = 100%B’s wages = (8 hrs x Rs. 30) + 20% x (8 hrs x Rs.30)

= Rs. 240 + Rs. 48= Rs. 288

C’s efficiency = 83.33%C’s wages = (8 hrs x Rs.30) + *10% ( 8 hrs x Rs.30)

= Rs. 240 + Rs. 24= Rs. 264

* 10% bonus is assumed. It will be given in the question paper.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 45

9) Bedaux point premium system : -Total wages = (Hours worked x Rate / hr) +

75% (Bedaux point saved x Rate /hr.)60

Bedaux point saved = Time saved in minutesi.e. Time allowed (min) – Time taken (min)

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 46

Worker ATime saved by worker A = 2 hrs = 120 minutes Bedaux points saved = 120

A’s wages = (8 hrs. x 30) + 75% (120 min. x Rs. 30) / 60= Rs. 240 + Rs. 45= Rs. 285

Worker B and C have saved no time, hence no bonus. Only basic wages are payable, i.e. Rs. 240 each.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 47

10) Accelerating Premium Plan:

Wages = 0.8 (X)² x basic wages Where X = efficiency

= 0.8 x (Efficiency)² x (hours worked x Rate/hr.)

A’s wages = 0.8 x (1.25)² x (8 hrs x Rs. 30) = 0.8 x 1.56 x 240= Rs. 300

B’s wages = 0.8 x (1) ² x (8 hrs x Rs. 30) = 0.8 x 1 x 240= Rs. 192

C’s wages = 0.8 x (0.8333)² x (8 hrs x Rs. 30) = Rs. 133.32 (approx)

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 48

Labour Turnover• Labour turnover is the speed of change in the

composition of workforce.• Labour turnover should be lower in the

organisation. High labour turnover will cause increase in production cost.

Calculation of labour turnover ratios:

(1) Replacement method = No. of workers replaced during the year 100

Avg. no. of workers p.a.

(2) Separation Method = No. of workers separated (left) during the year 100

Avg. no. of workers p.a.

(3) Flux Method= No. of workers joined + No. of workers left 100

Avg. no. of workers p.a.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 50

OVERHEADS• The most common classification of

overheads is :1. Manufacturing Overheads2. Administration Overheads and3. Selling & Distribution Overheads

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 51

OVERHEADS• When we prepare cost sheet, we charge all the

3 overheads, to find out the total cost of a product.

• Generally, no difficulty arises for charging direct costs to the product. However, as indirect cost (i.e. overheads) bear no direct relationship with the individual product, there arises a considerable difficulty in charging overheads to individual product.

• Overheads are charged using a step by step approach to the product, to ascertain it’s cost.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 52

FACTORY OVERHEADS• There are primarily 3 methods of

charging factory overheads :1. Single Rate or Blanket Rate Method2. Departmental Rate Method and3. Activity Based Costing Method. Also

known as ABC. This method is in C.A. Final for studies.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 53

Single Rate Method• In this method, a single overhead recovery rate is

calculated for the entire factory and using this rate, factory overheads are charged to all the products.

• For example, total factory overheads for the company is say Rs. 5,00,000 and total labour hours worked is 50,000.

• Then, the factory overhead recovery rate is Rs. 10 per labour hour.

• If a product requires 15 labour hours of work, then we will charge Rs. 150 (i.e. 15 hrs. x Rs. 10 ) to that product as it’s share of factory overheads.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 54

Single Rate Method• This method is very simple to

understand and use. Hence, small organisations prefer this method of charging factory overheads.

• However, this method leads to more approximation in charging overheads.

• Pricing decision taken on the basis of this method may go wrong and hence it is not a very popular method.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 55

Departmental Rate Method• This is one of the most popular and widely

used method of charging factory overheads.• The steps involved in this method are :1. Allocation of overheads2. Apportionment of overheads3. Re-apportionment of overheads4. Calculation of overhead recovery rates and5. Charging the overheads i.e. absorption of

overheads.

Administration Overheads

• There are 3 possible treatments :1. Apportion it between Production and

Sales Department2. Charge to Costing Profit & Loss A/c3. Charge it using a separate recovery rate.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 58

Administration Overheads• The most commonly used method is to charge

admn. overheads using a separate rate of recovery.

• If a basis is given in the question itself, then use that basis, else use Works Cost (i.e. Factory Cost) as basis for charging.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 59

Selling & Distribution Overheads• If a basis is given in the question itself, then

use that basis, else use Works Cost (i.e. Factory Cost) as basis for charging.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 60

Under and over absorption of overheads

• Overhead Recovery Rate may be calculated in the following two manners :

1. Actual Basis and2. Estimated Basis (i.e. budgeted data)

Page 13: IPCC COST ACCOUNTING · CA IPCC CA VINOD KUMAR AGARWAL Save transportation time. Can revise any topic any time. OR To Study Online, Take Admission on STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT 1 PENDRIVE

04/22/15

11

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 61

Actual Basis• In this case the accountant will wait till the

close of financial year to know the actual amount of overheads incurred.

• Once the amount of actual OH is ascertained, then he calculates the overhead recovery rates for charging the overheads to cost object.

• This method involves delay in cost calculation and consequently it also delays the decision regarding fixation of sales price of the product. Hence, this method is not popular.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 62

Estimated Basis• In this case the accountant estimates (i.e.

budgets) the amount of overheads to be incurred for the year.

• On the basis of estimated OH, he calculates the overhead recovery rates for charging the overheads to cost object.

• This method is very popular because it does not cause delay in cost calculation and consequently decisions regarding fixation of sales price can be taken immediately.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 63

Estimated Basis• However, one disadvantage of this method is

that the OH absorbed on estimated basis may not tally with actual overheads incurred.

• This leads to either under absorption of OH or over absorption of overheads.

• When OH absorbed are less than OH incurred, then we call it a situation of under absorption of OH.

• When OH absorbed are more than OH incurred, then we call it a situation of over absorption of OH.

Over Absorption

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 65

Accounting Treatment• These under or over absorption of OH are

required to be adjusted in the books of accounts, otherwise OH account will not tally.

• There are 3 methods to deal with this situation:1. Carry forward to next year2. Transfer to Costing P & L Account and3. Use of Supplementary Rate Method

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 66

1. Carry forward of OH

• Under this method, any amount of under or over absorption of overheads is carried forward to next year with the hope that it will get adjusted with under or over absorption of overheads of the next year.

• However, this method is not recommended because it disturbs the profitability of current year as well as the profitability of next year.

• Inspite of this, small organisations prefer this method because it is very simple and does not involve any adjustment in the books.

12

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 67

2. Transfer to Costing P&L A/c• Under this method, any amount of under or

over absorption of overheads is transferred to Costing P & L Account.

• This method is used when the amount of under or over absorption is very small and immaterial.

• As the amount is negligible, it does not have any sizable impact on ascertainment of cost.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 68

3. Use of Supplementary Rate• This method is used when the amount of under

or over absorption is large and material.• Hence, this amount is again adjusted in the

books of accounts by charging the overheads using supplementary rate.

• However, like rectification of error, the overheads are adjusted directly in the accounts where the final effect goes.

• Hence, the adjustment is made only in Closing WIP, Closing FG and COGS.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 69

Use of Supplementary Rate

• Supplementary Rate can be calculated either on the basis of Quantity or Value of Closing WIP, Closing FG and COGS.

• You have to choose an appropriate method, depending upon the information available in the question.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 70

Job Costing, Batch Costing & Output Costing

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 71

Job Costing• It is a method of costing where goods are

produced or services are given to the customer as per his requirement. Each order of a customer is known as Job.

• Every customer’s requirement might be different from each other. Hence, we need to calculate the cost of each job separately and quote the selling price of each job separately.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 72

Batch Costing• This method of costing is used in an industry

where the goods are produced in lots or batches.

• In this case, we need to maintain the accounting record batch wise, so that we can ascertain the cost of each batch separately.

• Once we calculate the cost of a batch, then we can easily calculate cost per unit also.

Page 15: IPCC COST ACCOUNTING · CA IPCC CA VINOD KUMAR AGARWAL Save transportation time. Can revise any topic any time. OR To Study Online, Take Admission on STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT 1 PENDRIVE

04/22/15

13

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 73

Batch Costing• We have to charge the prime cost and

overheads to each batch, to ascertain the cost of a batch.

• Thus, it is similar to job costing only.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 74

Economic Batch Quantity (EBQ)• It is the most economical quantity

which we should produce in one batch. Simply speaking, it is the economic batch size.

• The optimum batch size can be calculated using a formula, which is similar to the formula of EOQ.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 75

Economic Batch Quantity (EBQ)2 x Annual Demand x Set up cost per batch

Carrying cost per unit per annum

• Please note the following changes in EOQ :1. EOQ was for raw material, EBQ is for finished

goods.2. Annual consumption is replaced by annual

sales demand and3. Ordering cost is replaced by set up cost.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 76

Economic Batch Quantity (EBQ)

2 x Annual Demand x Set up cost per batchCarrying cost per unit per annum

• The objective here is to minimise the total of [annual set up cost + annual carrying cost]

• Carrying cost per unit p.a. can be calculated as [production cost per unit x c.c. % p.a.]

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 77

Total Set up Cost p.a.= No. of batches x set up cost per batch

= Annual Demand x set up cost per batchBatch Size

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 78

Total Carrying Cost p.a.= Average Inventory x Carrying cost per unit p.a.

= Batch Size x c.c. p.u. p.a.2

Single Unit or Output Costing• This method of costing is used in an

industry, where only one type of product is manufactured. Hence, calculation of cost is very simple.

• Cost per unit = Total CostNo. of units produced

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 80

Contract Costing• Difference between job costing and

contract costing• Contractor and Contractee• Cost plus contract and Fixed price contract• Completed contract method and

Proportionate completion method• Note : from exam point of view, the stress

is on fixed price contract and proportionate completion method.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 81

Formulae for Transfer to P&L A/c• This is the main area of discussion in contract

costing.• The basic principle used is the ‘Concept of

Prudence’.• Prudence simply means, one may account for

anticipated losses but not the anticipated gain.• When contract is incomplete, there is an

uncertainty about its future. Hence, we need to make a provision for future contingency, out of the notional profit earned.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 84

Formulae for Transfer to P&L A/c

• If there is a notional loss on the contract :• Transfer entire loss to profit and loss

account.• If future further loss is anticipated and can

be measured, then one should also make a provision for such future losses also.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 85

Formulae for Transfer to P&L A/c• If there is a notional profit on the contract,

then the amount of profit to be transferred to P&L depends upon the % completion of contract as follows :

• If the contract work has progressed below 25%, then nothing is transferred to P&L. Because it is considered too early to account for the profit. It also means, entire notional profit will remain as provision for future contingency.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 86

Formulae for Transfer to P&L A/c

• If the contract work has progressed 25% and above, then some profit is transferred to P&L as per the following formula :

1 x Notional Profit x Cash Received3 Work Certified

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 87

Formulae for Transfer to P&L A/c

• If the contract work has progressed 50% and above, then the formula shall be :

2 x Notional Profit x Cash Received3 Work Certified

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 88

Formulae for Transfer to P&L A/c• If the contract is nearing completion, i.e. the

work has progressed 90% and above, then the formulae are based on total estimated profit. Total estimated profit can be calculated as :(a) Total contract price xxx(b) Total estimated cost :

cost incurred till date xxxfurther cost of completion xxx xxx

(c) Total estimated profit [ a – b ] xxx

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 89

Nearing Completion Contract• There are four formulae :(a) Total Estimated x Work Certified

Profit (TEP) Total contract price

(b) TEP x work certified x cash receivedtotal contract price work certified

(c) TEP x cost incurred till datetotal estimated cost

(d) TEP x cost till date x cash receivedtotal estimated cost work certified

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 90

Escalation Clause• It is one of the clauses in the agreement

between Contractor and Contractee.• In fixed price contract, contractor carries a risk of

increase in prices of raw material, labour cost etc. To safeguard himself against the rise in prices in future, he may request the contractee for inclusion of this clause in the agreement.

• By this clause, some of the burden of increase in price is transferred to contractee. It means, contractee will pay extra amount over and above the fixed contract price to cover such increase in cost.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 91

Escalation Clause• For example – It is agreed between contractor

and contractee that, in the event of increase in cement price beyond Rs. 200 per bag, the contractee will bear 40% burden of such increase in price.

• Let’s further assume that 1,000 bags of cement is consumed @ Rs. 250 per bag. In such case, the increase in cost is [ 1,000 bags x Rs. 50 ] = Rs. 50,000.

• The contractee will pay an extra Rs. 20,000 [i.e. 40% of 50,000] to the contractor, as per escalation clause.

Process Costing & Operation Costing• This method of costing is used in an industry,

where the goods are produced continuously in various stages.

• These stages of production are known as Processes or Operations.

• Output of previous process becomes the input of next process.

• Cost records are maintained process wise. It means, cost of production is calculated at each stage of production.

• Opening WIP = 2,000 unitsMaterial cost (100%) = Rs. 7,500Labour cost (60%) = Rs. 3,000Overheads (60%) = Rs. 1,500

• Units introduced into the process = 8,000• Cost incurred during the period :

Material cost = Rs. 1,00,000Labour cost = Rs. 78,000Overheads = Rs. 39,000

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 105

• Units completed and transferred to next process is = 8,000 units

• Closing WIP = 2,000 unitsMaterial cost = 100% completeLabour cost = 50% completeOverheads = 50% complete

Joint Product, By-Product Costing

• This method of costing is used in an industry, where multiple products emerge out of a common process.

• These multiple products are either known as Joint Products or By Products.

Joint Product, By-Product Costing• The products whose economic value is higher

are known as joint products and those products whose economic value is lower are known as by products.

• Joint Products can also be called as Major Products or Main Products and

• By Products are called as Minor Products or Subsidiary Products.

• It is judgement of management to treat some of the products as joint products and some of them as by products.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 128

Some Important Concepts

• Joint cost = cost up to split off point = cost up to separation point = common cost

• Further processing cost = cost incurred after split off point = cost incurred after separation point = separate cost

Accounting of Joint Products• Physical Output i.e. Quantity Method : Let’s

assume that there are only 2 joint products A & B, and we have to distribute joint cost Rs. 98,000.

• If output of A & B is 2,000 units and 3,000 units respectively, then the joint cost shall be distributed in the ratio of 2 : 3.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 138

Accounting of Joint Products• Relative Sale Value Method : It is the most

popular and logical method of apportionment of joint cost.

• Sale value is calculated as [selling price x output quantity].

• Let’s see the logic, why sale value method is the most preferred method.

Types of VariancesVariances are

of 3 types

Sales Variances Cost Variances Profit Variances[ C.A. Final ]

Labour Cost Variable OH Fixed OHMaterial Cost

Note : Profit Variances are in C.A. Final Syllabus.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 158

Summary of Material Cost Variances

Total Cost Variance= (SQ x SP) – (AQ x AP)

Price Variance= AQ x (SP – AP)

Usage Variance= SP x (SQ – AQ)

Mix Variance= SP x (SM – AM)

Sub-Usage= SP x (SQ – SM)

AM = Actual Qty. Consumed and

SM = Actual Total Qty. consumed revised in standard proportion.

Key Points1. In case of Mix Variance, if actual mix (i.e. actual

quantity consumed) is more than standard mix, then the variance is adverse else it is favourable.

2. In case of Sub-usage variance, if standard mix (calculated from actual quantity) is more than standard quantity, then it is adverse else it is favourable.

3. In case of mix variance, total quantity consumed is same, but difference is due to mixing proportion.

4. In case of sub-usage variance, mixing proportion is same, but the difference is only due to quantity.

Marginal Costing• It is a technique used for managerial

decision making.• This technique recognises only two types

of costs i.e. (1) Variable cost and (2) Fixed cost.

• If there is a semi-variable cost, then it needs to be sub-divided into variable and fixed cost separately.

Golden FormulaSales – Variable Cost = ContributionContribution – Fixed Cost = Profit/Loss

We can say that excess contribution over fixed cost is profit and excess of fixed cost over contribution is loss.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 179

One, Two ka Four• Sales – Variable Cost = Contribution

• Sales – Contribution = Variable Cost

• Sales = Variable cost + Contribution

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 180

One, Two ka Four• Contribution – Fixed Cost = Profit/(Loss)Assuming there is a profit :• Contribution = Fixed Cost + Profit• Contribution – Profit = Fixed CostAssuming there is a loss :• Contribution = Fixed Cost - Loss• Contribution + Loss = Fixed Cost

Break Even Point (BEP)• It is the point at which there is no profit or no

loss.• It means, at BEP, Total Contribution = Total

Fixed Cost• Management is interested in knowing BEP,

because the first objective of management is to cross BEP.

• A firm starts earning profit only after crossing BEP.

• BEP can be expressed in 3 ways – (a) No. of units, (b) Sale Value Or (c) % capacity.

Budgets and Budgetary Control• Budget is a quantitative plan of action for

future period.• Budgetary control is a technique of

exercising overall managerial control with the help of budgets.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 198

Types of Budgets• From examination point of view, you are

generally asked to prepare :1. Functional Budgets : i.e. Sales budget,

Production budget, Purchase budget, Manpower budget, Cash budget etc. and

2. Flexible Cost Budgets : i.e. Calculation of cost at various levels of activities. These are based on marginal costing principles.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 199

Functional Budgets• These are very popular questions.• To solve these questions, first you have to

identify the key factor or budget factor. In majority cases, it is sales.

• Then you have form a linkage between key factor and other dependent budgets like production, material consumption, material purchase, manpower etc.

CA. Rakesh Agrawal 200

Important Formulae1. For Finished Goods :

Op. stock + Production – Sales = Clo. Stock Production = Sales + Clo. stock – Op. stock2. For Raw Material :

Op. stock + Purchase – Consumption = Clo. Stock Purchase = Consumption + Clo. Stock – Op. stock
