Study Notes
Basic Concepts
- Cost: Represents the consumption of tangible and intangible resources for producing a specific quantity of a product. It creates payment obligations for the company. Examples include material costs, labor, and indirect manufacturing costs.
- Loss: Occurs when purchased goods lose economic value without providing benefits, resulting in financial prejudice. Examples include breakage during transport and deterioration due to improper conditions.
- Expense: Refers to the consumption of goods or services necessary for a company's operations, arising from administrative, commercial, and financial activities. Examples include salaries, rent, and utility costs.
- Value: Determined by customers through the comparison of benefits received versus costs incurred for a product.
- Price: The monetary amount customers pay for a product. Important relationships include:
- Sale Value (VV) = Unit Cost (Cu) + Unit Cost (Gu)
- Sale Price (PV) = Unit Cost (Cu) + Unit Cost (Gu) + Unit Profit (u) + VAT
- Sale Value (VV) = Sale Price / 1.18
