CHAPTER NO 1 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

1.1. INTRODUCTION OF STUDY


Marginal costing is a very important technique for decision making.
The concept of marginal cost is based on the variable cost and fixed cost of
the production. Variable expenses depend on sales and production of the
company, when fixed cost is periodic cost. Marginal cost is increase or
decrease in cost to produce of a unit after certain production units.
Generally, marginal costing depends on the contribution, where contribution
is the difference between the sales and the variable cost of the production.
The company's contribution is more than its fixed cost as it is more
profitable. This technique assumes that other conditions are also not
changed. E.g., materials, Labour, Efficiency, Wastage loss, managerial policy
and competition level etc.
Marginal Cost performance analysis is a term used to describe the
change in total cost of production resulting from the addition of one item. It
can also be seen as the avoidable cost of not producing an additional item. It
is usual to look at short term marginal cost, which is an additional cost when
only some of the cost of production can be varied in long term or more
commonly known as long run marginal cost is the change in cost when all
input cost can varied. It is closely related to marginal cost pricing, in which
prices are set at an amount equal to the Marginal Cost. The marginal cost is
the cost to produce one additional unit. This cost would include the raw
materials used to make the item, the average labor cost of the item, the
average machine or hardware cost associated with creating the item.
Marginal costs are sometimes very difficult to assess. First, we must
determine the useful life of our machinery that can be a very subjective
determination. Marginal Costing is the ascertainment of marginal cost and of
the effect on profit due to changes in volume or type of output by different
between fixed cost and variable cost.
Marginal Cost = (Change in Cost / Change in Quantity)
1.2. NEED FOR THE STUDY / PROBLRM OF THE STUDY
The need of the study helps the Pipe Tech Hydraulic Manufacturing
Company to identify their position by which the company can increase or
decrease the total cost of production. It also helps to the company to identify
and offer a minimum rate of product price according to the expectations of
the customer so that the company’s sales level will get increased. Hence, this
study has been carried on marginal cost analysis.

CHAPTER NO 2. THEORETICAL ASPECTS AND SUBJECT LITERATURE

4.1 INTRODUCTION

Marginal costing is a technique/system of presentation of sales and cost data


with a view to guide the managers for taking short term decisions like sales
mix selection, make or buy, acceptance of special order, etc. It is also used by
the managers for cost control, budgeting and profit planning purposes.

The marginal costing technique is crucial for any business aiming to optimize the
production of goods or delivery of services. The concept technically means extra
costs added to the production cost due to additional unit(s). It helps companies
determine the selling price of a product or service. Furthermore, they can
estimate the desired output by understanding marginal and sales costs. It simply
works like this:

 Sale or Unit price > Marginal cost = More production = Profit


 Marginal cost > Sale or Unit price = Less production = Loss

Moreover, entities can calculate the price associated with resources needed to
scale up the production of additionally ordered items. Also, it enables managers
to estimate production expenses and budget, avoiding last-minute resource
shortages.

Marginal costing varies with the production level and volume. Based on this, it
can be either short-run (i.e., fixed costs for additional production in a short time)
or long-run (i.e., variable inputs for extra output in more time).

SOME IMPORTANT KEY POINTS

 Marginal costing is the increase or decrease in the overall cost of production due
to changes in the quantity of desired output.
 Managers can use it to make resource allocation decisions, optimize production,
streamline operations, control manufacturing costs, plan budgets and profits, and
so on.
 In most cases, variable costs influence marginal costs. It can, however, consider
fixed expenses in circumstances of increased output.
 When a company’s marginal cost equals its marginal income, it maximizes profits
while setting the selling price of a product or service.

2.2. MEANING DEFINITION AND CONCEPTS

2.2.1 MEANING

“Ascertainment of marginal costs and of the effect on profit of change in


volume or type of output by differentiating between fixed costs and variable
costs. Note – In this method of costing, only variable costs are charged to
operations, processes or products while fixed costs are written-off against
profits in the period in which they arise. The system of marginal costing,
therefore, is a technique of cost accounting which differentiates between fixed
costs and variable costs and shows the effect on profit of changes in the
volume of output”.

One additional-unit of production is known as marginal unit and the change in


total cost on account of adding or subtracting one unit is known as marginal
cost.

“Marginal costing is that technique which studies the increase or decrease in


total cost as a result of increase or decrease of one unit of production.”

“Marginal costing is the ascertainment by differentiating between fixed and


variable costs.” – (I.C.M.A. London)

2.2.2 DEFINITIONS

 MARGINAL COSTING
Marginal costing is used for managerial decision-making. It can be used in
conjunction with any method of costing, such as job costing or process costing.
It can also be used with other techniques of costing like standard costing and
budgetary control. In this, only variable cost is considered.
The term ‘marginal costing’ has been defined by the Chartered Institute of
Management Accountants (CIMA), London, as –“The accounting system in
which variable costs are charged to cost units and fixed costs of the period are
written off in full against the aggregate contribution. Its special value is in
decision-making.”

 MARGINAL COST: 

Marginal cost is the amount at any given volume of output by which aggregate
cost are changed of the volume of output is increased or decrease by one unit.
The marginal cost of a product is alternatively known as its variable cost, which
includes direct material, direct labor and direct experiences and the variable part
of overheads.   

 FIXED COST:

Fixed cost is a cost that accrues in relation to the passage of time and which,
within certain output and turnover limits, tends to be unaffected by
fluctuations in the level of activity. It is treated as period cost and is charged in
full to the profit and loss account of the accounting period which they are
incurred.

 CONTRIBUTION:

Contribution is the different between sales value at the variable cost of those
sales expressed either in absolute terms or as a contribution per unit.  This is
the central point in marginal costing.  When the contribution per unit is
expressed as the different between the selling price and its marginal cost.
Marginal costing cannot be used without calculating the contribution
2.2.3. MARGINAL COSTING FORMULAS

2.2.4. Advantages And Disadvantages

Correct marginal costs estimation can help managers develop budget and profit
plans for the next production cycle. It means an inaccurate calculation can lead to
massive losses to manufacturing units. Thus, it has both pros and cons, which are
as follows:

Advantages Disadvantages

Classifies costs as fixed and variable Efficiency of resources and other factors
could also affect the marginal cost

No overhead pricing included Does not consider time as a factor

Easy cost ascertainment Not suitable for all sectors

Helps in effective decision-making, whether it is to


replace a machine or discontinue a product or service
Cost comparison becomes easy

2.2.5. CHARACTERISTICS OF MARGINAL COSTING

The technique of marginal costing is based on the distinction between product


costs and period costs. Only the variables costs are regarded as the costs of
the products while the fixed costs are treated as period costs which will be
incurred during the period regardless of the volume of output. The main
characteristics of marginal costing are as follows:

1. All elements of cost are classified into fixed and variable components. Semi-
variable costs are also analyzed into fixed and variable elements.

2. The marginal or variable costs (as direct material, direct labor and variable
factory overheads) are treated as the cost of product.

3. Under marginal costing, the value of finished goods and work-in-progress is


also comprised only of marginal costs. Variable selling and distribution are
excluded for valuing these inventories. Fixed costs are not considered for
valuation of closing stock of finished goods and closing WIP.

4. Fixed costs are treated as period costs and are charged to profit and loss
account for the period for which they are incurred.

5. Prices are determined with reference to marginal costs and contribution


margin.

6. Profitability of departments and products is determined with reference to


their contribution margin.

7. Cost of sales are calculated after taking all variable costs (e.g., direct
materials, direct labor, direct expenses, variable production, selling and
administrative overheads).

8. The difference between sales revenue and cost of sales is called


contribution. Fixed costs are adjusted against contribution.
2.2.6. IMPORTANCE (APPLICATIONS/USES):-

1) Easy:

In this method calculation is very easy and understandable. Cost is found is


only considering variable cost is therefore easy.

2) Profit Planning

Another importance application of marginal costing is the area of profit planning.


Profit planning, generally known as budget or plan of operation may be defined as
the planning of future operations to attain a defined profit good

3) Cost control

Fixed cost remains same with production while variable cost can be appropriately
controlled and therefore cost can be control.

4) For Decision making

This technique is very applicable for decision making for managers. It is useful to
select an appropriate choice from various best choices relating to production and
profit of the organization.

(a) Make or Buy:- Some loose parts used in production of a firm, make or buy in
the organization is decided through marginal costing.

(b) Foreign order:- Marginal costing is also useful to either take foreign order for
certain products to the factory or not.

(c) Key Factor:- Marginal costing is also useful to decide how many units of a
certain product to produce where there is a scarcity of either materials or labour
and also machine hours.

(d) Production options:- (Choice) Marginal costing is also applicable to decide to


produce a profitable product out of various production choices.
(e) For Differentiate co:- In the factory from different levels of production, which
volume of production is profitable one is easily decided. Flexible budget about
different units is also prepared with application of marginal costing.

5) In Inflation time :-

In Inflation time, maximum profit can be made by maximum production and


selling. In these circumstances, Marginal costing helps in deciding an actual
level of production at which optimum profit can be earned.

6) In Deflation time :-

In Deflation time, maximum loss may arise. So marginal costing helps in deciding
the actual level of production and selling of products at which no loss assume.

2.3. LITERATURE REVIEW

 Bauer, Daniel, and George Zanjani. "The marginal cost of risk, risk
measures, and capital allocation." Management Science, ISSN: 1431-1457,
Volume 62(5), Year 2016. Financial institutions use risk measures to
calculate the marginal capital cost when expanding the exposure to a
certain risk within their portfolio. We reverse this approach by calculating
the marginal cost based on economic fundamentals for a profit-maximizing
firm and then by identifying the risk measure delivering the correct
marginal cost. The resulting measure depends on context. Whereas familiar
measures can be recovered in some circumstances, other circumstances
yield unfamiliar forms. In all cases, the risk preferences of the institution’s
claimants determine how the correct risk measure must weight various
default states. Our results demonstrate that risk measures used for pricing
and performance measurement should be chosen based on economic
fundamentals and may not necessarily adhere to the mathematical
properties typically imposed in the literature.

Analysis:
The BEP (Break-even Point) in accordance to sales is increasing in first Three
months (01/04/2021 TO 1/07/2021) is 50.51% and BEP is decreasing
for another three months (01/08/2021 TO 30/11/2021) 35.27 %
respectively. But in the months (01/12/2021 TO 28/02/2022) major change
in the BEP is observed to 54.24% And in the Another three months
(01/01/2022 TO 31/03/2022) again it decreases to 44.80%.

Analysis:-
A constant fluctuate in Margin of safety is observed from the months
(01/04/2021 TO 1/07/2021) and (01/08/2021 TO 30/11/2021) . A slight
decrease is observed in the month (01/12/2021 TO 28/02/2022) . But again
the Margin of safety tends to increase in the Another three months
(01/01/2022 TO 31/03/2022) by 52.24% and In this months increase in
Margin of safety is measured due to decrease in Break-even point in
accordance to sales.

Findings:-
Though the Margin of safety of the company is found to be fluctuating year
by year, the Profit Volume Ratio is also fluctuating. Hence, it can be said
that the overall position of the company is improving months by months
with the increase in PV Ratio.

Suggestion:-
From the above study company should improve their workings and it
should be try to reduce fixed cost. Company can get more contribution and
high level of PVR to decreasing in variable cost or increasing in sales. On the
other hand, company can also get more profitability to decreasing in fixed
cost.
