Executive Summary

&Introduction

The study of Production Cost Analysis of sugar industry with special reference to Saikrupa Sugar Kharkhana Pvt.Ltd Hiradgaon :

Introduction of Production Cost Accounting

We have entered into an area of liberalization the development process has opened

the doors of economy and in globalised economic environment it is necessary to protect

the interest of consumers, investor, company and the country as a hole. In a liberalized

economy, there is no role of traditional management in corporate world now only the

professional management is required to control of the costs of the present day origination

Modern area is called the industrial area. Every where there is vast developing in

the field of industry. On account of the development of the industries, the modern

industries require minimum cost of production and such as maximization of profits. For

this purpose, they depend on the financial statements such as trading profits and loss

account and balance sheet but these financial statements give information as whole. It

means the entire industry is treated as one unit. It is difficult task to locate the errors.

Cost account is recent development. It is the branch of financial accounting. It

maintains the records unit wise, process wise, job wise, department wise. At the end, we

can easily control are help in reduction of costs by preparation of the statements unit wise

or job wise. So cost accounting is developed basically to remove the limitation of

financial accounting

INDUSTRY PROFILE

The Historical Background of the Indian Sugar Industry:

The sugar industry is proud to be an industry, which spreads the taste of

sweetness to the mankind. The history of origin of this industry is as old as the history of

main him self. Sugar is generally made from sugarcane and beet. In India, sugar is

produced mainly from sugarcane. India had introduced sugarcane all over the worlds and

is a leading country in the making sugar from sugarcane.

The sugars industry occupies potion in the organization industries of India. It

ranks second next to cotton, textile industries in importance. The Sugars industrial

established in 1830. It provides Employment to nearly 5 lakhs of people directly. There

were more then 467 factories in the country in 1994-95 with an annual production of 150

to 200 lakhs tones. The sugars industries contributed revenue of the Central and State

Government a sum or Rs 350 corores in the form of taxes.

The sugarcane is being grown in about 2.5 lakhs acres. Every year the crop is

mostly contracted around Bijapur,Bagalkot,Belgaum, Mandya and coastal areas. This can

be grown in all types of soil but higher yields can be obtained in a rich weet drained and

medium despoils.

National Scenario Of Sugar Industry:

The first sugar mill in the country was set up in 1903 in the United Provinces.

There are 566 installed sugar mills, of which 453 were in operation in the year 2002-03

and utilized 194.4 million ton of sugarcane (69% of total cane production) to produce

20.14 million tons of sugar. About 5 Lakh workmen are directly employed in the sugar.

About 5 Lakh workmen are directly employed in the sugar industry besides many in

industries, which utilize by-products of sugar industry as raw material.

India is the largest consumer and second largest producer of sugar in the world.

The Indian sugar industry is the second largest agro-industry located in the rural India.

Indian sugar industry has been a focal point for socio-economic development in the rural

areas. About 50 million sugarcane farmers and a large number of agricultural laborers are

involved in sugarcane cultivation and ancillary activities, constituting 7.5% of the rural

population. Besides, the industry provides employment to about 2 million skilled/semi

skilled workers and others mostly from the rural areas. The industry not only generates

power for its own requirement but surplus power for export to the grid based on by-

product–Bagasse. It also produces ethyl alcohol, which is used for industrial and potable

uses, and can be used to the manufacture Ethanol, an ecology friendly and renewable fuel

for blending with petrol.

The sugar industry in the country uses only sugarcane as input; hence sugar

companies have been established in large sugarcane growing states like Uttar Pradesh,

Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh. In sugar year 2003-

04,these six states contribute more than 85%of total sugar production in the country;

Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Karnataka together contribute more than 65%of total

production.

The government of India licensed new units with an initial capacity of 1250 TCD

up to the 1980s and with the revision in minimum economic size to 2500 TCD, the

Government issued licenses for setting up of 2500 TCD plants thereafter. The

government de-licensed sugar sector in the year of 11.September.1988.

The entrepreneurs have been allowed to set up sugar factories of expand the

existing sugar factories as per the techno-economic feasibility of the project. However,

they are required to maintain a radial distance of 15 Kms from the existing sugar factory.

9

After de-licensing, a number of new sugar plants of varying capacities have been set up

and the existing plants have substantially increased their capacity.

There are 566 installed sugar mills in the country as on March 31st 2005, with a

Production capacity of 180 lacks Mts of sugar, of which only 453 are working. These

mills are located in 18 states of the country.

International Sugar Industry:

Demand- Supply:

Brazil and India are the largest sugar producing countries followed by China,

USA, Thailand, Australia, Mexico, Pakistan, France and Germany. Global sugar

production increased from approximately 125.88 MMT in 1995-1996 to 149.4 MMT in

2002-2003 and then declined to 143.7 MMT in 2003-2004, whereas consumption

increased steadily from 118.1 MMT in 1995-1996 to 142.8 MMT in 2003-2004 as shown

in below given chart. The word consumption is projected to grow to 160.7 MMT by 2010

and 176.1 MMT by 2015.

The world’s largest consumers of sugar are India, China, Brazil, USA, Russia,

Mexico, Pakistan, Indonesia, Germany and Egypt. According to USDA Foreign

Agriculture Service, the consumption of sugar in Asian countries has increased at a faster

rate, as a direct result of increasing population, increasing per capita income and

increased availability.

Contribution of Sugar Industry to Indian Economy:Sugar industry contributes about Rs.1650 Crores to the Central Exchequer as

excise duty and other taxes annually. In addition, about Rs.600 Crores is realized by the

State Governments annually through purchase tax and cess on cane. At the prevailing

sugarcane price, the total sugar cane produced in the country value at about Rs.24000

Crores per year

World Sugar Trade:

Word trade in raw sugar is typically around 22 MMT and white sugar around 16

MMT. Brazil is the largest importer, followed by EU, Thailand, Australia and Cuba. The

largest importers are Russia, Indonesia, UK, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, the Middle

East, and North Africa.

Sugar Prices:World sugar prices fell steadily from 1994-1995 till 1998-1999 and have been

almost stable at those levels. The trend seems to have now reversed and refined sugar

11

prices have increased by 30% in the last 5 quarters – from 9.16 cents per pound in

January, 2004 to 12.02 cents in March,2005 (Source: USDA Foreign Agriculture

Services).

Sugarcane Availability:

2002-03 4.3 300

2003-04 3.9 -

2004-05 3.7 236

Sugarcane occupies about 2.7% of the total cultivated area and it is one of the

most important cash crops in the country. The area under sugarcane gradually increased

from 2.7 million hectares in 1980-81 to 4.3 million hectares in 2002-03, mainly because

of much larger diversion of land from other crops to sugarcane by the farmers for

economic reasons.

The sugarcane area, however, declined in the year 2003-04 to 3.9 million hectares

and to 3.7 million hectares in 2004-05, mainly due to drought and pest attacks. From a

level of 154 MMT in 1980-1981, the sugarcane production increased to 241 MMT in

1990-1991 and further to 296 MMT in 2000-2001. Since then, it has been hovering

around 300 MMT until last year. In the season 2003-2004, however, sugarcane

production declined to 236 MMT mainly due to drought and pest attacks. Not only

sugarcane acreage and sugarcane production has been increasing, even drawl of

sugarcane by the sugar industry has also been increasing over the years. In India,

sugarcane is utilized by sugar mills as well as by traditional sweeteners like guru and

khandsari producers. However, the diversion of sugarcane to guru and khandsari is lower

in states of Maharashtra and Karnataka, as compared to Northern states like UP.

Sugar Production:

Most of the sugar in India is manufactured and sold as “White Crystal

Sugar” which is produced by Double Suspiration Process, while the norm in developed

and emerging nations is refined sugar, which is produced by the Phosphoflotation

Process.

Most of the mills in India are not equipped to make refined sugar Mills which are

designed to produce refined sugar can manufacture sugar not only from sugarcane but

also from raw sugar which can be imported. Therefore, such mills can run their

production all the year round, as opposed to single state mills, which are dependent upon

the seasonal supply of sugarcane.

13

Conclusion

India is a largest consumer of sugar in the world and second largest manufacturer of

sugar followed by China, USA, Thailand, Germany, and Pakistan. In the sugar industry

the top position is Brazil as it is a world largest manufacturer of sugar. As seeing the

consumption of sugar the India is having a big market for sugar industry. As it is a large-

scale industry it provides large profit for the country and it can also be helpful for

development of industrial infrastructure. India is a world’s largest consumer and second

largest manufacturing of sugar so the sugar must be cheaper. It can be provide by our

sugar industry.

Review

of Literature

MEANING OF COSTCost in simple words, means the total of all expenses. Cost is defined as the

amount of expenditure incurred on a given thing. Thus it is that which is given or

sacrificed to obtain something.

ICMA London “Cost is the amount of expenditure incurred on or attributable to a

given thing.”

In a business where selling and distribution expenses are quite nominal, the cost of

the article may be calculated without considering the selling and distribution overheads.

While in a business, where the nature of the product requires heavy selling and

distribution expenses calculation of cost without taking in to account selling and

distribution expenses may prove very costly to the business. Then cost may be factory

cost, office cost, cost of sales and even an item of expense is also termed as cost.

Prime cost includes expenditure on direct material, direct labor and direct

expenses. Money spent on materials is termed as cost of materials the spent on labor as

cost of labor and so on. Thus, the used of term cost without qualification is also quite

misleading. Again, different costs are found out for different purposes. To work-in-

process is valued at factory cost while stock of finished goods valued at office cost.

Numerous other examples can be given to show the term cost des not mean the same

thing under all circumstances and for all purposes. Many items of production are handled

in an optional manner, which may give different costs for the same production or job

without in any way of cost accounting.

26

ELEMENTS OF COSTElements of cost mean the essential parts or components of goods or service or jobs. In

other words elements of cost are part of the total cost and include the main item of

expenditure incurred for production of goods, services and jobs.

Analysis and classification of cost

Cost is the amount of expenditure incurred for production of goods and services. Thus

cost is composed of three elements, viz, material, labor, and expenses.

Classification of cost

Cost classification is the process of grouping costs according to their common features or

characteristics. Classification is essential to find out the cost of production.

Objective of classification of cost

1. It helps the management for implementing cost control and decision making.

2. It helps for calculation of cost of production.

3. It helps for valuation of work-in-progress.

Element wise classificationCost classified on the basis of element wise is as follows

1. Material cost

2. Labor cost

3. Expenses

Material Cost: This is “the cost of commodities supplied to an undertaking.”(I.C.M.A) Materials

are further divided in to two parts (1) Direct materials (2) Indirect materials.

27

1) Direct materials: Direct materials are those materials which can enter into and

form of the finished product. Direct materials cost is the which can be

conveniently identified and allocated to cost units.

2) Indirect Materials: Indirect materials are those materials which cannot be

conveniently identified with cost units.

Labor cost: These are costs of remuneration, such as wages salaries, commission, bonus etc.

Of the employees of an undertaking

1) Direct wages: Wages paid to laborers who are directly engaged in converting

raw materials into finished products. It is also called Direct Labor, Productive

Labor, and Prime cost.

2) Indirect Labor: Indirect labor is not directly engaged in the production of

goods but only to assist or help in production of goods or services.

Expenses: The expenses means the cost of services provided to an undertaking and the

notional cost of the use of owned assets. In other-words costs other than the material and

labor are called expenses.

Direct Expenses: Direct expenses are those expenses which can be specifically incurred

in connection with a cost unit. E.g. hire of special plant for a particular job.

Indirect expenses: Indirect expenses are those expenses which cannot be directly

identified with a particular job.

Overheads: An overhead includes indirect material, indirect labor, and indirect expenses. In

general terms, overhead comprise all expenses incurred for in connection with the general

organization of the whole or part of the undertaking that is the cost of operation supplies 28

and services used by the undertaking and including the maintenance of capital assets.

The main groups into overheads may sub divided are as follows.

1. Manufacturing overheads

2. Administration overheads

3. Selling overheads

4. Research and development overheads

5. Distribution overheads.

Function wise Classification:-Costs classified on the basis of function wise are as follows:

Production cost or manufacturing cost or work cost

Administration cost

Selling cost

Distribution cost

1. Production cost: This is the cost which begins with supplying of materials, labor and service

and ends with the completion of production other terms used in this connection

are factory overhead.

Examples:

1) Indirect labor

Foremen’s salary

Cleaner’s salary and wages

Gatekeepers’ salary

Salary of time keeping department

Tools operator’s wages

Store keeping department salary

2) Factory rent and rates

3) Insurance of factory

4) Consumable stores

29

5) Indirect materials cost such as cotton waste, nuts and bolts, lubricating oil, nails etc.

6) Gas, fuel and water, stationery to the factory

7) Depreciation on factory equipment, factory building, plant and machinery

8) Repairs of factory equipment, factory building and machinery

9) Depreciation on loose tools

10) Laboratory expenses

11) Labor welfare expenses

12) Canteen expenses

13) Over time wages

14) Contribution to workmen’s compensation fund

2 Administration cost:

This consists of all expenses incurred in the direction control and administration

of an undertaking.

Examples:

1) Salaries of office staff, accounts, MD, GM

2) Director’s fees

3) Bank charges

4) Postage stationery telephone

5) Rent rates of office

6) Insurance of office building and equipments

7) Depreciation on office building equipment and furniture

8) Printing charges of office

9) Audit fees

10) Legal charges

30

3 Selling cost: Other expenditures incurred for sales and stimulating demand and for securing

orders are known as selling cost.

Examples:

1. Salaries and commission of salesmen

2. Show room expenses

3. Samples, free gifts

4. Commission to agents or distributors

5. Advertising and Publicity expense

6. Marketing expenses

7. Expenses incurred for recovering the bad debts

8. Subscription to trade Journals and commercial Journals

4 Distribution cost: It is an expenditure incurred for distributing the goods

Examples:

Packaging cost

Carriage outwards

Warehousing costs, such as repairs, depreciation lighting of warehouse

Loading charges

Dispatch expenses

Shortage of finished goods in warehouse

Finished goods damaged in transit

Classification according to Behavior:Some costs are increased or decreased in production directly; some costs remain

unaffected while others change but not in direct proportion to the change in volume of

production.

These are: 1. Variable cost

1. Fixed costs.

2. Semi-Variable or Semi-Fixed costs

Variable cost:31

These cost an in direct proportion to the volume of output. Cost per unit will

remain the same. If output increases total variable cost also increases and if output

decreases total variable cost also decreases.

e.g.: Direct materials.

Direct wages

Power

Fixed cost:The total fixed costs remain unaffected either with the increase or decreases in the

output. But cost per unit goes on changing.

Rent and rates of building.

Depreciation of building.

Insurance.

Interest on capital.

Municipal taxes.

Fixed cost can be further classified into

1) Committed fixed costs

2) Discretionary fixed costs

1) Committed fixed cost:

Consist largely of those fixed costs that arise from the possession of plant,

equipment & basic organizational structure. For example, once building is elected

and plant is installed nothing much can be done to reduce the costs such as

depreciation.

2) Discretionary cost:

Are those which are set a fixed amount for specific time period by the

management in the budgeting process? These costs directly reflect top management

policies have no particular relationship with the volume of output. These cost

therefore be reduced or entirely eliminated, if the circumstances so require. Examples

of such costs are Research & Development costs advertising & sales promotion costs,

donation management consulting fees etc. These costs are also termed as managed of

programmed costs.

Semi-Variable cost:

32

These costs are partly fixed and partly variable. These costs are thus partly

affected by fluctuations in the level of activity.

Examples: Depreciation, Repair & maintenance, Telephone expenses.

Other type of costs:

Decision making costs:

Decision making costs are special purpose costs that are applicable only in the

situation in which they are complied they have no universal application. They need

not tie into routine financial accounts to the accounting rules.

Controllable and uncontrollable cost:Controllable costs are those which can be influenced by the action of a specific

member of the understanding costs which cannot be so influenced are termed as

uncontrollable cost.

For example the expenditure incurred by the room is controllable by the foremen

in- charge of that section but the hare of the tool room expenditure which is apportioned

to a machine shop cannot be contracted by a machine shop forces.

Differential, Incremental or Decrement cost:These are costs which do not involve cash outlay. They are not included in cost

accounts but are important for taking into consideration while making management

decisions. For example interest on capital is ignored in cost account through it is

considered in cost financial accounts. In case two projects require unequal outlay & cash

the management must take into consideration interest on capital to judge the relative

profitability of the projects.

According to ICMA London “Costing is the techniques & process of ascertaining

costs” These techniques are the rules & regulations to govern or regulate the process of

ascertaining the costs or services. Therefore these rules & regulations are carried from

unit to unit immediately to the industry & formation of policy. Thus costing is a routine

work of cost ascertainment.

Objectives of cost accounting:

33

a) Ascertainment of cost.

b) Determination of selling price.

c) Cost control and cost reduction.

d) Ascertaining the profit of each activity.

e) Assisting management in decision making.

Advantages of cost accounting:a) Discloses profitability of activities.

b) It helps in cost control.

c) It helps in formulating policies.

d) It helps in decision making.

e) It guides in fixed selecting prices.

f) It helps for fixing the standard of efficiency of workers.

g) It facilitates the assessment of tax.

h) It helps to judge the financial position & credit worthiness of the business.

Disadvantages of cost accounting:

a) Absence of a readymade system.

b) Cost differences.

c) Cost data have no usefulness in themselves.

d) It is not true or exact cost.

Cost unit and Cost center:Cost unit: It is a unit of product, service or time in relation to which costs may be

ascertained or expressed. We may for instance determine the cost per tone of steel, per

tone kilometer of a transport service or cost per machine hour.

Types of cost units:

Single cost:

It is a single unit cost for example per tone, per kilogram.

Composite costs:

It is a composite of two or more simple cost units. It is used where the simple

cost is not possible for ascertain cost.

Cost units are usually the units of physical measurement like number, weight, area,

volume, length, time and value.

Cost Center: It is defined as a location, person or an item of equipment for which cost may be

ascertained and used for the purpose of cost control. Cost centers are two types.

Production Cost Center:

It is a cost center where raw material is handled for conversion in to finished

product. Here both direct and indirect expenses are incurred. Machine shops, Welding

shops and assembly shops are examples of production cost center.

Service Cost Center:

It is a cost center which serves as an ancillary unit to a production cost center.

Power house, gas production shop, material service centers, plant maintenance centers are

examples of service cost centers.

Mixed Cost Centers:

It is cost center, which is engaged in both the production and service. For

example, carpenter shop manufacturing as well as undertaking repair work.

Cost estimation and cost ascertainment: Cost estimation is the process of pre-determining the costs of a certain product job

or order. Such pre-determined may be required for several purposes such as budgeting

measurement of performance efficiency, preparation of financial statements (valuation of

stock etc), make or buy decision fixation of sale price of the product etc.

Cost estimation as well as cost ascertainment both are interrelated and are of

immense use to the management in case a concern has a sound costing system, the

35

ascertained costs will greatly help the management in the process of estimation of rational

accurate costs which are so necessary for a variety of purpose stated above.

Cost ascertainment is the process of determining the cost on the basis of actual

data. Hence, computation of historical cost is cost ascertainment while computation of

future costs is cost estimation.

Cost allocation and cost apportionment Cost allocation and cost apportionment are the two procedures, which describe the

identification and allotment of costs to cost centers. Cost allocation refers to the

allotment of whole item of cost to cost centers or cost units while, cost apportionment

refers to the allotment of proportions of items of cost centers or cost units. Thus the

former involves the process of charging direct expenditure top cost centers or cost units.

While the later involves the process of charging indirect expenditure to cost centers or

cost units for example the cost of labor engaged in a service department can be

charged wholly and directly to it .

Canteen expenses of the factory cannot be charged directly and wholly to it. Its

proportionate share will have to be found out. Changing of cost in the former case will be

termed as “Allocation of costs” while in the later as “Apportionment of costs”.

Cost reduction and Cost control: The cost control is defined as “The regulation by executive action of the cost of

operating an undertaking particularly where such action is guided by cost accounting”.

Cost control is exercised through setting standard or norms or targets and

comparing actual performances there within a view to ascertaining deviation form set

targets or norms or standards and taking corrective actions to ensure that future

performance conforms to the set standards or norms or targets.

Cost control techniques:Among the techniques which have become popular for ensuring cost control are

Material control.

Labor control.

Overhead control.

36

Budgetary control.

Standard control

Control of capital expenditure.

Productivity and Accounting rations.

Cost reduction:Cost reduction may be defined “as the achievement of real and permanent

reduction in the unit cost of goods manufactured or service rendered without impairing

their suitability for the use intended or diminution in the quality of the product”.

Advantages of cost reduction:a) In so far as an individual company is concerned, cost reduction results in profit

improvement. The more the profits, the more stable the company becomes.

b) Society will be benefited by reduced prices which may be possible by savings

from cost reduction programmers.

c) Workers and staff of the industry may also be benefited through increased wages

and improved welfare amenities.

d) The country also stands to gain immensely by cost reduction programmers.

e) Internal revenue will increase through more tax revenues.

Areas of cost reduction:Cost reduction methods may be applied in the following areas:

Product Design:

Cost reduction begins with the improvement in the design of the product. An

investigation into the possibilities of cost reduction should be made. Both when

introducing new design and when making improvement in the existing design.

Factory organization and production methods:

All efforts should be constantly made to reduce the cost by the adoption of

new methods of organization and new production methods.

Distinction between cost control and cost reduction:37

1) Cost control aims at achieving the predetermined costs, where as cost

reduction aims at reducing costs.

2) Cost control is a runtime exercise, which is carried out for attainment of

operational efficiency, where as cost reduction aims at permanent and real

savings by continuous search.

3) The process of cost control is to lay down a target, ascertain actual

performance, compare it with the target and take corrective action. On

the other hand, cost reduction is not concerned with maintenance of

performance according to the predetermined standards.

4) Cost control seeks adherence to standards where as cost reduction is a

challenge to the standards themselves. Cost reduction assumes that there

are chances of improvements in predetermined standards.

5) The aim of cost control is to see that actual costs do not exceed the

predetermined costs so it is a preventive function. On the other hand, cost

reduction is corrective function because it challenges the predetermined

costs and seeks to improve the performance by reducing cost of increasing

production.

Practical & difficulties of cost accounting system:1) Lack of support from top management:

Manager or MD do not supporting the cost accounting system because they are

thinking that cost accounting is an obstacle and disturbs the work. Therefore top

management does not support whole heartedly.

2) Resistance from the existing accounting staff:

The existing financial accounting staff may be offer resistance to the system

because of a feeling of their being declared under the new system.

This fear can be done away with by explaining to the staff that the cost

accounting system would not replace but strengthen the existing system.

3) Non co-operation at other level:38

The foremen and other supervisory staff may resent the additional paper work

and may not co-operate I providing the basic data, which is so essential for the success of

the system.

This needs re-orientation and education of employed. They have to be told of

the advantages that will accrue to them and the organization.

4) Shortage of trained staff:

Cost accounting is a specialized job in itself. In the beginning therefore

qualified staff may not be available. However, this difficulty can be overcome by giving

the existing staff requisite training and additional staff, if required.

5) Heavy costs:

Unnecessary sophistication and formalities lead to heavy cost. The cost

accounting office should serve as a useful service department.

Main consideration:1) The product:

The nature of the product determines to a great extent the type of cost

accounting system to be adopted. For e.g. a product requiring high value of material

content requires elaborate system of material control.

2) The organization:

The existing organization should be disturbed as little as possible. It becomes

necessary top ascertainment the size and type of organization before introducing the cost

accounting system.

3) The objective:

The objective and information, which the management wants to achieve and

acquire, are also to be cared for.

4) Technical details:

The system should be introduced after a detailed study of the technical aspects

of the business efforts should be made to secure the sympathetic assistance and support of

the principal members of the supervisory staff and workmen.

5) Informative and simple:

The system should be informative and simple.

39

Cost Audit:Definition:

The term ‘audit’ concerns the examination of books of accounts and necessary

vouchers to ascertain the accuracy of accounting transaction. According to the Institute

of Cost and management Accounts of England, Cost Audit is defined as the verification

of cost accounts and a check on the adherence to the Cost Accounting plan.

Functions of cost auditing:1) To verify that the cost accounts are correctly kept in accordance with the

principles of costing employed in the industry.

2) To measure that the cost accounting routine lay down by the business is

properly carried out.

3) To detect errors and prevent frauds possible misappropriation.

Process Costing:-Means

When the raw materials are fed in to the machinery as an input, we get output. In

order to convert the raw material into finished product i. e. input into output, it has to pass

or move through different stages. Each stage is known as a process.

SUGAR

1. Crushing of sugarcane

Sugarcane is harvested in the fields. Dressed and bundled in small bundles stocked in Lories, tractor or bullock carts supplied to factories, weighed and crushed in set of mills. Crushing takes place mainly in two stages. First, preparation and then milling. The milling takes place after preparing the cane in leveler and cutter. Milling is done by passing the prepared cane blanked through sets of mills. Weighted water also is added in the course of crushing for better extraction of juices. After crushing the bagasses is sent to boiler as fuel and juice sent for processing after weighment.

1. Juice clarification (Double clarification)

The weighed juice is primarily heated in juice heated at65-700C. It undergoes a process of clarification i.e. addition of lime and sulpher dioxide simultaneously. The juice thus sulphited heated again in another set of juice heaters at 100-1050 C and the hot juice is sent to a clarifier.

Where it settles and clear juice is decanted out from the Clarifier and sent for evaporation in a set of multiple effect evaporator Bodies designed for steam economy (quadruple effects of evaporation) The juice thus evaporated gets concentrated to form thick syrup of about 58-600 C brix).

2. Crystallization

The syrup thus sulphited in syrup. Salphitor is sent to pan floor for further crystallization in vacuum pans. The syrup collected gets in supply tanks is taken to pans for pan boiling, where the syrup is further boiled attains super satiation stage. In such a condition sugar grains are formal and hardened, developed to form a mass called massecuite. The massecite is dropped in crystallizers and cooled to complete the process of crystallization.

3. Curing

In centrifugals the massecuite is cured i.e. sugar crystals are separated from mother ligouor in high speed centrifugal machines.The sugar crystals thus separated are properly dried by blowing hot air and cold air. The molasses is collected in separate tanks and Used for further boiling to recover more sugar.

4. Grading and Bagging

The dried sugar after passing through elevator goes to the grade for graduation. The sugar falls into the bins with this fall sugar is packed in bags.

The graded sugar is bagged weighted for 100kg & they are stitched numbered and stocked in the sugar go down in different lots as per grade and color.

42

Definition of Process Costing:Lunt and Riply observes, “Process costing is used to ascertain the cost of each stage of

manufacture where material is passed through various operations to obtain a final product

to result with products in many cases at different stages.”

Application of process costing in the Industries:The industries in which process costing system may be used are many. In fact a process

costing system can usually be devised in all industries except where Job, Batch or Unit

operation costing is necessary. In particular, the following are examples of industries

where process costing is applied.

Paper Manufacture

Paint Manufacture

Distilleries

Plastic Manufacture

Sugar Industries

Food Manufacture

Fertilizer Industry

Glass Industry

Drug and Medicines

Producing Industries

Aluminum Industry

Timber Industry

Rubber Industry

43

Characteristics of Process Costing System:(1) It is a form of Operation Costing in which the cost of the product is ascertained at

each Stage or process of its manufacture.

(2) The output of one process becomes input of next process and that of last process is

transferred to the finished stock.

(3) The production of goods is continuous.

(4) The finished product is the result of two or more processes.

(5) The product is standardized.

(6) Cost per the unit is the average cost.

(7) Cost of each process is collected.

Advantages of Process Costing System:(1) It helps for calculation of cost in short period.

(2) It helps for calculation of cost of each process as well as finished product.

(3) It involves less clerical works and expenses.

(4) It helps for control over production and costs.

(5) It is easy to allocate the expenses to processes in order to have accurate costs.

Disadvantage of Process Costing System:(1) Average cost is not accurate cost.

(2) Costs are historical.

(3) Work-in-progress is required to be ascertained at the end of an accounting period for

calculating the cost of continuous process. Valuation of work-in-progress is generally

done on estimated basis which introduces further inaccuracies in total cost.

4) There is a wide scope of errors while calculating average costs. An error in one

average cost will be carried through all processes to the valuation of work-in-process and

finished gods.

44

Concepts in Process Costing System:(1) Process Losses:

While converting raw material into finished goods certain wastage may arise at various

stages of production. Such loss or waste may due to evaporation, inefficiency etc., and

such wastage is known as process losses. Process losses may be classified into (a)

Normal Loss and (b) Abnormal Loss.

(a) Normal Loss:

Any loss arising due to normal factors like evaporation, withdrawals for tests, shrinkage,

sampling, unavoidable spoiled quantities etc. Constitute normal loss. These losses

cannot be avoided.

Total Cost

Normal Loss =

Total Units – Normal Loss

(b) Abnormal Loss:

Any losses arising due to abnormal factors are known as abnormal loss. Such loss is over

and above normal loss. These losses may arise from the factors like carelessness, machine

breakdown, accident, use of defective material etc.

(2) Process Gains:

Abnormal Gain:

If the actual loss is greater than normal loss, it is known as abnormal loss. But if the

actual loss is less than normal loss a gain, is obtained which is called abnormal gain or

effectiveness.

Treatment for Abnormal Gain – The value is calculated as if it good units. It is debited

to the process account and credited to abnormal gain account.

Presentation of total cost:First of all are classified on the basis of nature, such as materials, labor and other

expenses. Further distinction should be made of direct and indirect costs. All the direct

costs are grouped under the headings of prime costs and indirect costs are known as

overheads. All these cost are grouped under separate heads and present the cost data to

the management in the form of statement.

Cost Sheet:A cost sheet or a cost statement is “a document which provides for the assembly

of the detailed cost of a cost center or cost unit’. It is a detailed statement depicting the

sub-division of cost arranged in a logical order under different heads.

The prime cost.

The works cost.

Cost of production

The total cost.

It gives the breakup of by cost elements and sub-division

It discloses the total cost as well as cost per unit of production.

It helps for fixing selling price.

The main advantages of a cost sheet are as follows:

1) It provides the total cost figure as well as cost unit of production.

2) It helps in cost comparison.

3) It facilitates the preparation of cost estimates required for submitting tenders.

4) It provides sufficient help in arriving at the figure of selling price.

5) It facilitates cost control by disclosing operational efficiency.
