what is a standard cost? and what is a target cost?..

Answer / chintan

Standard costing is used mainly in mass production as a
tool for control. Costs for standard parts are established
by work study or experience, actual costs then being
checked against the standard costs.

Target costing is a reversed cost accounting technique.
Instead of calculating costs first and then setting the
price based on these calculated costs, target costing does
it the other way around. Target costing is convenient for
firms operating in perfect competition. The steps in target
costing are as follows: 1. Determine the price consumer is
willing to pay for the product, say Rs. 15. This may be
arrived at after conducting a market research; 2. Determine
the profit margin the business is willing to accept, say 8%
of Z; 3. On subtracting the above two, i.e., 15 Rs - 1.11
Rs = 13.88, Target cost is determined.

Change of General Ledger Cost Assignment :- We have two major company codes and plus a minor one. In order to assign intra and inter company costs correctly SAP was set up to assign cost at goods issue to the general ledger account 100000 according to plant. Now we combined two company code into one. Every end of month we must re-class costs out of the plant cost center into the cost center associated with the sales office. It is possible that we directly assign cost to cost center of cost office, how can it be possible? Please tell me how we can make this process easier. Thanks in advance, Manoj
