    Study Notes

    Anglo-Saxon Cost Models

    • Anglo-Saxon cost models (primarily North American and British) focus on adapting the model to the different organizational structures of companies.
    • The criterion for classifying Anglo-Saxon cost models is the characteristics of the cost accumulation processes, which depend on the production process (continuous or discontinuous).
    • Continuous production (mass production) involves a consistent flow of raw materials to finished products, with no differences in unit-level costs.
    • Discontinuous production (job order or batch production) involves orders or batches of goods.

    Cost Models for Work Orders

    • This model is suitable for companies that manufacture specific products or services tailored to customer needs (e.g., shipbuilding, custom furniture, or repair shops).
    • Each order receives its own cost calculation that ends when the specific order is completed.
    • Direct costs (materials and labor specifically for the order) are directly assigned to the order, while indirect costs are allocated based on a predetermined rate.

    Cost Model by Processes

    • This model works for organizations with consistent production processes where goods are manufactured in continuous flows (e.g., cement production or food processing).
    • Costs are accumulated over time intervals (periods).
    • Allocation is done based on the department or step in the production process, and unit costs are derived from the aggregate costs for the period.
    • Calculation involves determining the production costs for each period, and then dividing the overall production costs by the number of units produced during that period.

    Mixed Cost Models

    • These integrate characteristics of both work order and process models.
    • Suitable for companies producing similar, but not identical, products.
    • Direct costs are assigned to batches/jobs, while indirect costs are often allocated based on operations.

    Activity-Based Costing (ABC)

    • ABC identifies activities as cost drivers.
    • Activities are the essential steps in the production process that consume resources.
    • Costs are attached to the activities and then assigned to products based on the consumption rate of different activities by each product.
    • More accurate cost allocation than traditional methods, especially for complex production processes.
