account

As we said back in our Payables Accounting column -- "Inventory (products bought for resale, materials bought to manufacture products to be sold, etc., can't be expensed until sold --- and in the meantime are accounted in an inventory asset-account, e.g., payable/amt- inventory/amt+". So we got materials into the inventory account through payables. How do we get them out? That's the job of inventory accounting.

If you're doing just custom jobs, where you're buying materials strictly for that job -- like a residential custom builder -- you could use a "percent completion" method. You buy the materials to a job-number and account your labor to the job-number -- accumulating them in an inventory account -- and then periodically expense them according to the percent the job is complete, inventory/amt- cost-of-sales/amt+. When the job is 100% complete, all of your costs for that job have been expensed, and no more sits in inventory.

With the advent of distributed networks and systems, network/systems management had become a very difficult task for administration staff. It was exceedingly difficult and time consuming to manage each device that made up a system individually, even if they were from the same vendor. The overhead required to configure and maintain systems, as well as the risks of mis-configuration were quite high. It was also hard to store all network device setups and connections in a simple to manage way.
What is an Element Management System (EMS)?

An Element Management System consists of the systems and applications that are concerned with managing one or more physical devices that make up a system. It allows these often distributed nodes or network elements to be managed in a unified way using one management system.

In any distributed system, there are often many devices that are performing the same, albeit complex, functions. With structuring and grouping the elements, they become easier to manage, since rather than having to address each element individually, it is far easier to manage the system as one entity, or groups of entities. This also allows system designers to easily gain access/talk the language of disparate elements from multiple vendors using widely understood protocols like SNMP.

Cost A/c (V/s) Finacial A/c that may more exhausted to you.

(A) STATUTORY OBLIGATION
Their is no any Statutory Obligation indeed to maintain
such A/c for maintain CostA/c.
In case of Finacial A/c its Statutory Obligation,several
Acts has governs like INDIAN COMPANIES ACT 1956, INSURANCE
COMPANIES ACT, INDIAN INDUSTRIAL ACT etc.


(B) ADMINISTRATIVE PURPOSE
For Administrative concern its may irrelevant to them.for
maintaining the Cost A/c.
But in Case of Financial A/c its fetch the real fair of
the business during the year.

(C) MANAGEMENT PURPOSE
Maintaing of  systematic Cost A/c its a seems to be a
vigilance Management (in short effective Management).
Though they maintain the Finacial A/c its a bounded
duties of the Managemet.


(D) COVEREGE
Cost A/c may cover its some specific areas,like
Manufacturing,Production,Purchasing etc.
The Financial A/c may cover as a Whole of the Organisation
right from Raw material purchased to Sold of Goods.

(E) APPOINTMENT OF AUDITURE
For Cost A/c appointment of Auditore is optional
one.those who aware of A/c they may can handle such A/c.
In case of Financial A/c Auditore must be Appointed as
per the insists of several ACTs like INCOME TAX ACT
1961,INDIAN COMPANIES ACT 1956 etc,(AUDITURE means he/she
must be CA i.e showed qualified Chartered Accountant.

(F) INSURANCE AUTHORITIES
Insurance Authorities they may go through the Cost
A/c ,because they may know that its internal A/c which
disclosed the real facts of the business.
Though they may go through the Financial A/c  randomly.

(G)PURPOSE
Cost A/c is maintains for to reveal the real facts of
business normally its may go through by the internal
Managerial persons.
As we discuss in earlier its Statutory Obligatory
one,apart from that the outsider eagerly wanted to view the
status of the firm During the specific period of time.like
Investor,Tax Authorities,Bankers (for Credit Grant(OD)over
draft),Financer,Debenture Holders etc..

(H)TREATMENT

hiding any point, because its maintain by internally ie.
(Management)in short its seems Net Result.
Financial A/c treat in such a way that real facts of firm
may not be reveal for eg:(i)Every Year Depreciation is to
be deducted as treating as loss But as per management
concern its falls on the Business it self. eg(ii)Specific
Reserves may not shown in the Balance Sheet of Final A/c
of Finacial A/c. but in Cost A/c all such Reserved are
Displayed.Hence it Shows the Gross Result.

(I)DECISION MAKING
For Decison Making purpose Cost A/c is a Vital A/c to take
the Managerial Decision.
Though Financial A/c its some how need to take Decision but
not upto the Cost A/c.

(J)APPRAISAL
Cost A/c can fetch the NON MONETARY aspects like
performance of a indivial, Work Experience etc because its
focus on specific areas.
In case of Financial A/c its fully focused on MONETARY
aspects only financial transaction are carried out.

(K)METHODOLOGY
Their is no any Specific Methodology is to be followed,it
may depend upon the internal persons based on their
convinince they may follow the rules like Single Entry Rule
or Double Entry Rule etc.
As far as Financial A/c concern,its advice to follow the
Double Entry System it may follows some sort of rules like
Banks they may have the seperate format to build the A/c.

(L)ACCOUNTING YEAR
For Cost A/c their is no any hard or fast rules to follow
the Accounting year to Opening & Closing of A/c
Accounting year means 12month report sarts from 1st date of

Management accounting or managerial accounting is concerned with the provisions and use of accounting information to managers within organizations, to provide them with the basis to make informed business decisions that will allow them to be better equipped in their management and control functions.

In contrast to financial accountancy information, management accounting information is:

• designed and intended for use by managers within the organization, instead of being intended for use by shareholders, creditors, and public regulators;
• usually confidential and used by management, instead of publicly reported;
• forward-looking, instead of historical;
• computed by reference to the needs of managers, often using management information systems, instead of by reference to general financial accounting standards.

Cost Sheet
ACCOUNTANCY
You are running a factory which manufactures electronic toys. You incur
expenses on raw material, labour and other expenses which can be directly
attibuted to cost and which cannot be directly attributed but are incurred
upto their sales. You need to know the composition of cost at different
stages. This will help you in the analysis of cost of a product so that same
can be used for its proper management. In this lesson you will learn about
cost sheet and its various components.
OBJECTIVES
After studying this lesson, you will be able to:
state the meaning and type of Cost Sheet;
state the importance of Cost Sheet;
explain the components of total cost;
prepare the cost sheet as per format.
29.1 COST SHEET : MEANING AND ITS IMPORTANCE
Cost sheet is a statement, which shows various components of total cost
of a product. It classifies and analyses the components of cost of a product.
Previous periods data is given in the cost sheet for comparative study. It
is a statement which shows per unit cost in addition to Total Cost. Selling
price is ascertained with the help of cost sheet. The details of total cost
presented in the form of a statement is termed as Cost sheet. Cost sheet
is prepared on the basis of :
1. Historical Cost 2. Estimated Cost

Historical Cost
Historical Cost sheet is prepared on the basis of actual cost incurred. A
statement of cost prepared after incurring the actual cost is called Historical
Cost Sheet.
Estimated Cost
Estimated cost sheet is prepared on the basis of estimated cost. The
statement prepared before the commencement of production is called
estimated cost sheet. Such cost sheet is useful in quoting the tender price
of a job or a contract.
Importance of Cost Sheet
The importance of cost sheet is as follows:
Cost ascertainment
The main objective of the cost sheet is to ascertain the cost of a product.
Cost sheet helps in ascertainment of cost for the purpose of determining
cost after they are incurred. It also helps to ascertain the actual cost or
estimated cost of a Job.
Fixation of selling price
To fix the selling price of a product or service, it is essential to prepare the
cost sheet. It helps in fixing selling price of a product or service by providing
detailed information of the cost.
Help in cost control
For controlling the cost of a product it is necessary for every manufacturing
unit to prepare a cost sheet. Estimated cost sheet helps in the control of
material cost, labour cost and overheads cost at every point of production.
Facilitates managerial decisions
It helps in taking important decisions by the management such as: whether
to produce or buy a component, what prices of goods are to be quoted in
the tender, whether to retain or replace an existing machine etc.

29.2 COMPONENTS OF TOTAL COST
The Components of cost are shown in the classified and analytical form
in the cost sheet. Components of total cost are as follows:
Prime Cost
It consists of direct material, direct wages and direct expenses. In other
words “Prime cost represents the aggregate of cost of material consumed,
productive wages, and direct expenses”. It is also known as basic, first, flat
or direct cost of a product.
Prime Cost = Direct material + Direct Wages + Direct expenses
Direct material means cost of raw material used or consumed in production.
It is not necessary that all the material purchased in a particular period is
used in production. There is some stock of raw material in balance at
opening and closing of the period. Hence, it is necessary that the cost of
opening and closing stock of material is adjusted in the material purchased.
Opening stock of material is added and closing stock of raw material is
deducted in the material purchased and we get material consumed or used
in production of a product. It is calculated as :
Material Consumed = Material purchased + Opening stock of material
– Closing stock of material.

In addition to prime cost it includes works or factory overheads. Factory
overheads consist of cost of indirect material, indirect wages, and indirect
expenses incurred in the factory. Factory cost is also known as works cost,
production or manufacturing cost.
Factory Cost = Prime cost + Factory overheads

Adjustment for stock of work-in-progress
In the process of production, some units remain to be completed at the end
of a period. These incomplete units are known as work-in-progress.
Normally, the cost of incomplete units include direct material, direct Labour,
direct expenses, and average factory overheads. Hence, at the time of
computing factory cost, it is necessary to make adjustment of opening and
closing stock of work in progress to arrive at the net Factory cost/works
cost.

Cost of goods sold
It is not necessary, that all the goods produced in a period are sold in the
same period. There is stock of finished goods in the opening and at the end
of the period. The cost of opening stock of finished goods is added in the
total cost of production in the current period and cost of closing stock of
finished goods is deducted. The cost of goods sold is calculated as:
Cost of goods sold = Total cost of production + Opening stock of
Finished goods – Closing stock of finished goods
Illustration 5
From the following information calculate the cost of goods sold.
Rs.
Total Cost of Production 1,22,000
Opening stock of finished goods 12,000
Closing stock of finished goods 16,000
Solution:
Cost of goods sold = Cost of Production + Opening stock of Finished
goods - closing stock of Finished goods

Sometimes profit is calculated on the basis of given information in
percentage of cost or sales. In such a situation, the amount is assumed 100
in which the percentage is calculated. Then the Profit is calculated in the
following ways:
Case 1
If Cost is Rs.10,000 and profit on cost 10%. Assume the cost is Rs.100 and
profit on cost is Rs.10. Hence Profit on cost of Rs.10,000 is
10,000 × 10/100 = Rs.1,000
Thus the sales value is Rs 11000 (10,000 + 1000)
Case 2
If Cost is Rs.10,800 and profit on sales price is 10%. Assume sales price
is Rs.100. cost price is Rs.90 [i.e. Rs.100 – Rs.10]. When profit on cost
of Rs.90 is Rs.10. Hence profit on cost of Rs.10,800 is
10,800 × 10/90 = Rs.1,200
10,800 + 1200 = 12,000 sales value
Case 3
If sales price is Rs.12,100 and profit on cost is 10%. Assume Cost price
is Rs.100. Sales price is Rs.110 [i.e.100 + 10]. If sales price is Rs.110, profit
is Rs.10. Profit on sales price of Rs.12,100 is
12,100 × 10/110 = Rs.1,100 profit
