Cost Accounting I

By Miss. S. N. Bagwan
M.Com, NET, SET.
This method is used when an organisation produces only one product or only few
grades of similar articles.
This method is called ‘Unit Costing’ because every unit of production is identical in
all respects.
This method is also called as Single Costing because the process of production
comprises only one stage or a single operation.
The output being a mass-produced, each unit of output is indistinguishable from the
other.
❖ Examples
Following are the examples of industries where unit costing is used-
✓ Collieries,
✓ Mining Concerns,
✓ Brick Works,
✓ Slate Works,
✓ Breweries,
✓ Steel Works,
✓ Cement Industry,
✓ Television Manufacturing Concerns,
✓ Radio Manufacturing Concerns, and
✓ Camera Manufacturing Concerns, etc.
❖ Definition of Unit Costing
1. J R Batliboi
“Single or output cost system is used in businesses where a standard product is turned
out and it is desired to find out the cost of a basic unit of production.”
3. Equality of Cost.
❖ Cost Sheet
“Cost sheet is statement of cost showing in detail the various elements of cost in a
manufacture of a product.”
It has been defined by CIMA, London as, “ a document which provides for the
Assembly of detailed cost of a cost Centre or cost unit.”
