  4. INTRODUCTION Management accounting, in general words, is referred to as the provision of financial data which is further used to make decision, on behalf of an organization and its business development. Accounting information is used by the managers for deciding the financial matters of company as well as to manage and control business functions (Drury, 2008). From a long run, this tool is considered to be the important for solving the financial matters of a business entity. The present report is going to explain about the different types of cost classification as well as calculations of unit cost. This report is focused towards the case of Jeffrey and Son’s manufacturing company. Furthermore, calculation of cost is done exquisitely while using absorption costing technique. The other sections show the cost report which is prepared with respect of manufacturing unit. Along with this, a specific consideration is given to performance indicators for recommending the ways to improve financial positions. This unit also aims to find the areas of improvements within the accounting systems. However, the major purpose of budgeting as well as its process is explained in context to Jeffery and Son’s Ltd. At last, the causes of negative variance are identified while recommending the ways to improve the budgetary position of company. TASK 1 P1.1 Classification of different types of cost There are various kinds of expenses that are incurred by manufacturing unit when producing goods and services. These all operating cost is generally refereed as “Cost”. It is further classified into range of categories that are based upon functions, behaviors, nature of expenses etc (Backer, 2004. ). This section is going to describe the nature of expenses as well as the classification of various kinds of cost: Different elements of cost: There are three major elements of cost i.e. material, labor and expenses. Use of material is essential for the purpose of manufacturing finished goods. On the other hand, labor cost is associated with the expense made on human resource which is involved in production process. However, all other expenses incurred during the production of goods and services are known as elements of cost. All such expenses are further divided into two categories such as direct and indirect variety i.e. direct labor and indirect material, etc Nature of Expense: Material, labor and expenses are the three major categories of cost which are involved in a production process. Manufacturing companies are witnessed with paying remuneration to workforce. For successful completion of manufacturing process, the company is required to have skilled human resources or labors. Thus, salaries and wages that are paid to such workforce are known as “Labor cost”. The specific cost which is paid against the purchasing of raw material is considered to be “Material cost”. The other category of expenditure is further known as expenses for a production unit (Griffith, Stephenson and Watson, 2014). Functions/Activities: Within manufacturing organizations, one can find different departments which pay consideration to certain functions. Hence, all the departments incur their individual cost. It is incurred by different departments as per their functions that are generally known as expenses to respective departments (Drury, 2008). As per the functions of various departments, the cost is classified into TOLL-FREE NO: +61 879057034 EMAIL: help@assignmentprime.com WHATSAPP NO: +61 424715655 WEBSITE: https://www.assignmentprime.com ASSIGNMENT HELP & WRITING SERVICE AUSTRALIA

  5. Manufacturing cost, Selling cost, Administration and Distribution cost, Marketing cost and Research and development cost. Behavior of Cost: The behavior of cost is to be decided as per the volume of production. In other words, the cost which is based on the volume/units of production is generally known as behavioral cost. The production volume of company depends upon the market demand as well as other factors. There are three major types of cost that are classified as per behavior i.e. Fixed cost, Variable cost and Semi variable cost. The cost which does not change at any level of production is called as fixed cost (Mistry, Sharma and Low,2014. ). However, the cost remains same at every level of production, else whatever the production is at any point. The fixed cost includes: rent, transportation. Variable cost, on the other hand, includes expenses that changes as per the production level. The single alteration is production units that lead to change in cost of production. Semi-variable cost is the combination of both kinds of costs including fixed as well as variable (Backer, 2004). In other words, it is the cost which remains same at a specific level of production. However, it changes after certain limit and hence is called as semi variable cost. P 1.2 Computation of unit cost by using unit costing method Job costing method is the most famous method of calculating cost for a job that is of unique nature. This method is applied to the business manufactures specific types of goods and services and where the job is performed as per specific requirements of consumers/clients. Job costing method allows manufactures make consideration towards direct and indirect cost of a job (Method of costing. 2014). The following points represents the calculation of per unit cost of job 444 for Jeffrey and Son’s manufacturing Ltd: Calculation of cost and unit cost of Job 444 Particulars Direct cost Direct material Direct labour Indirect cost Variable production overhead Amount (£) 200 270 180 Fixed production overhead Cost per unit Units to be produced Total cost 770*200 120 770 200 154000 Working note Fixed production overhead= (Budgeted overhead / total direct labor hours) * Direct labor hours for Job 444 =(£80000 / 20000 hours) * 30 hours =£120 The above calculation represents that total cost of job 444 is £770, to the flip side, per unit cost of job 444 is identified to be £3.85.

Variance analysis Material variance - The material variance represents a favourable change in material use. This is all because due to variable nature of material in production process. It could be said that decrease in material use lead to material cost.

  9. Labour variance- In respect with the labour variance, an increase of £1000 is seen . nonetheless, £1900 was the found as labour variance as per unit cost was £9 and in actuality, it comes at £10. To overcome the difference of labour cost was compensated against computing cost for actual 18000 units at £10 (Smith and Jacobs, 2011). Fixed overhead- There was no single change in fixed expenses as these expenses are fixed in nature Electricity- The expenses made on electricity are semi variable as these were fixed to a certain level of production. In such expenses, there was no change in fixed proportion but a slight change was seen in variable portion. Maintenance- The maintenance charges are rendered to be stepped cost which increases with a level of production. There were no single changes were found in maintenance cost as production of 100 units was reduced (Zikmund, 2012). P 2.2 Various areas of potential improvements using performance indicators On the basis of various performance indicators, Jeffrey and Son's is able is recommended to make potential improvements:  The financial analysis of company is used as the performance indicator which is used to assess the improvements. A significant decline in sale and profitability is witnessed for company representing hence, it has to take some steps for improving such position (Adler, 2013).  The customers comments over the product and services quality is that way of identifying improvements in such areas. By assessing product quality and defective products allow company to make improvement in manufacturing process. The operations of business are to be monitored for identify improvements. In addition, the feedbacks and complaints of customer’s are to be accessed for making improvements in areas of business (Key Performance Indicators., 2014). P 2.3 Ways to reduce cost and enhancing value and quality In order to enhance the values and quality of product that Jeffrey and Son's can move towards in different areas.  The company can make use of TQM approach which will insures the quality of goods and better use of im- proved and innovative techniques. This is the most effective method of enhancing the quality of products and making improvements in product quality and value (Burns and Scapens, 2000).  Furthermore , the company has to identify the major areas of business in which improvements are to be made and the ways to reduce the cost of production.  Reduction into operational cost is must to improve value of products .

  10. In addition to that management audit is an another task of monitoring internal operations at the workplace and bringing out changes wherever possible (Zikmund, 2012).  The staff members are to be influenced for carrying out standard performance and accomplishing goals TASK 3 P3.1 P urpose and nature of the budgeting process to the budget holders of Jeffery and Son’s Ltd. `The budgeting process is referred to as a systematic plan of deciding on future incomes and expenses. To a general phenomenon, it is a process of preparing a financial plan that can be used by managers so as to determine the anticipated expenses and incomes (Pandey, 2009.). The major purpose of budgeting is to make estimations for possible incomes and expenses to a company for a specific time span. In respect to given case of Jeffrey & Son’s manufacturing Ltd, budgeting purpose is are used to find out incomes and expenditures for the company for a specific time span. However, the main purposes of budgeting are defined in following points:  The budgeting process purposes at estimating future financial gains and financial losses  To find out the profitability of business for a specific time of span  The major purpose of budgeting is to provide framework to the managers for effective decision making (Fitzpatrick, 2005)  To make comparison between approximated output and actual figures Nature of budgeting process In the above description, budgeting process is explained as a financial plan used for preparing estimations for future incomes and expenses. Further, this is to be ensured that budgeting process is adopted for the purpose of identifying availability of cash within the company (McGowan, 2010). Now a days, budgeting become the most important process which is used for controlling overall business expenses and reducing deficit. The use of effective budgeting plan allows company to overcome negative variance that can harm future financial positions. The nature of budgeting process is that it helps in assessing the financial situation of company for future time period. With the help of budgeting process, the managers can identify the future amount of cash made from the sales activities. Along with this, the cash generated from other activities can also be identified through making use of budgeting process. In addition to that , the necessary future expenditure made on business can be figure out with the help of such process. While preparing the budgets, the organization can easily define surplus through deducting calculated expenses from forecasting revenues. Furthermore, reviewing and revising budget is the next step pf budgeting. At last, the actual outcome are compared with budgeted figures that is called as variance analysis (Holtzman, 2013).

  11. For given case scenario, it is essential for Jeffrey & Son's through forecasting expected incomes and expenditure for near future. The budgeting process allows managers of manufacturing department to put attention towards sales and preparing policies to enhance the sales. The mentioned company can take major steps towards reduction of costs so as to earn higher profits (Loo, Verstegen and Swagerman, 2011). However, business has to make coordination between different activities of budgeting process. While investigating budget for Jeffrey & Son's , it is noticed that incremental budgeting technique is used to prepare budgets. With the help of above mentioned budgeting process, company anticipates future incomes and expenditures while comparing actual results with budgeted figures while determining variance and taking corrective actions to overcome negative variance. P 3.2 Use of appropriate budgeting technique With an in-depth investigation in to the variance represents that Jeffrey & Son's manufacturing company is recently using incremental budgeting system. However, the major problem associated with such budgeting process is that the company is neglecting volatility of the market. It puts significant affects in budgetary process as well as the figures of budgets. This is the major reason for with company is not accessing favorable variance. Hence, a huge difference is found in budgeted and actual figures. Now for getting better results, it is recommend to use “Zero base budgeting” (Zero-Base Budgeting. 2016). The positive impacts of using Zero base budgeting are as follows :  It will allow company to overcome the limitations of incremental budgeting  The market volatility can be considered at the time of preparing budgets  The business entity can have positive variance between budgeted and actual figures.  It allows actual estimation of operational cost and anticipate revenues P 3.3 Preparation of production and material budgets Production budget October Particulars Sales Less: opening stock Add: Opening stock Units to be produced July August September 110000 16500 15000 108500 105000 11000 13500 107500 90000 13500 15750 92250 105000 15750 16500 105750 Closing Stock: July = 15% * August sales = 15%*90000 = 13500 August = 15% * Sept. sales = 15%*105000 = 15750 September = 15% * Oct. sales = 15%*110000 = 16500 October = 15%*Nov. sales = 15%*100000 = 15000 TOLL-FREE NO: +61 879057034 EMAIL: help@assignmentprime.com WHATSAPP NO: +61 424715655 WEBSITE: https://www.assignmentprime.com ASSIGNMENT HELP & WRITING SERVICE AUSTRALIA
