Your committee was kind enough to ask me to tell you something about our experience with Costs. To meet this kind invitation, I will endeavor to bring out some interesting points of our work, and discuss the necessity of knowing COSTS. It is only within the past few years that Cost finding has made rapid strides, and it is admitted that the greatest benefit in various lines of business has come from association of people in the same trade.

Essentials In Paper Mill Cost Accounting, Clinton Homer Scovell, Writing Paper Manufacturers' Association Jan 1915

Essentials In Paper Mill Cost Accounting, Clinton Homer Scovell, Writing Paper Manufacturers' Association

Individual and Corporate Publications

The basis of good cost accounting is analysis. You are all familiar with the three main divisions of cost; namely, material, labor, and overhead or burden.

Brewery Financial And Cost Statements, John P. Hauch Jan 1915

Brewery Financial And Cost Statements, John P. Hauch

Individual and Corporate Publications

Increase in competition and operating costs has made the question of production and sources of profit important in the development of business. That accounting statements present the book-value of resources and the amount of profit or loss is interesting but this does not give the management data that will show unprofitable or underdeveloped business. The weakness with some present brewery-systems is the failure to charge all items of department production at cost, the profit or loss statements being meaningless as a basis for future business development. With the rapid increase in bottling production, the knowledge of accurate departmental production and …
