4. Marginal Costing
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.”

CHAPTER NO 2. THEORETICAL ASPECTS AND SUBJECT LITERATURE
4.1 INTRODUCTION
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:
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).
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.
2.2.1 MEANING
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 Contribution Sales – VC
Profit + FC
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
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.
4. Fixed costs are treated as period costs and are charged to profit and loss
account for the period for which they are incurred.
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).
1) Easy:
2) Profit Planning
3) Cost control
Fixed cost remains same with production while variable cost can be appropriately
controlled and therefore cost can be control.
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.
5) In Inflation time :-
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.
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 PVR (Profit Volume Ratio) of the company for six months (01/04/2021
TO 31/07/2021) 64.43% and then quite decreasing in the months
(01/08/2021 TO 30/11/2021) that are 64.42%. But In accordance with the
months (01/08/2021 TO 30/11/2021) the PVR of the company is 69.65% and
in the months 31st March, 2014 we observe an increase in PVR 01/01/2022
TO 31/03/2022to 66.72%. But, in the months ending 31-3-2015 and 31-3-
2016 the PVR of the company are decreases 62.65% and 62.52% respectively.
And in the months 01/01/2022 TO 31/03/2022 the PVR of the company is
highest 76.91%.

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.
