WHAT ISCOSTACCOUNTING?
Cost accounting is the art and
science of recording, classifying,
summarizing, and analysing costs to
help management make prudent
business decisions.
PURPOSE OF COSTACCOUNTING?

• Cost control: The first function of cost accounting isto control the cost within the
budgetary constraints management has set for a particular product or service. This is
important since management allocates limited resources to particular projects or
production processes.
• Cost computation: This is the main function of cost accounting and this isthe source
of all other functions of cost accounting. In the section below, we will see how we can
calculate the cost of sales per unit for a particular product.
• Cost reduction: Cost computation helps the company reduce costs on projects
and processes. Reduction in costs means more profits since the margin will naturally
increase.

COST SHEETANALYSIS
The company is producing 100000 units of ice
cream at Rs. 74.05 for which the total cost
incurred is Rs. 7405000 and the total sales is
Rs. 9256250 which implies that that the profit
being made is Rs. 1851250.
The company is producing a single cup of ice
cream at Rs. 92.5625 which includes the cost of
a cup ice cream at Rs. 74.05 which again
implies that the profit of Rs. 18.5125 is earned
on a single unit of Amul ice cream.
Since the company is earning some percentage
of profit above the cost, it means a slight
increase in the cost will not have too much of
an effect on the profit since there is a large
margin of safety.
Since the company is earning some amount
of profit, the business is capable to expand
and diversify over a period of time.
