INDUSTRY PROFILE :
Indian Manufacturing Industry Profile:

The Indian economy is firmly on the path of steady growth. Even during the last decade when other countries were in the grip of a massive slowdown, India continued to enjoy a comfortable economic position. This recent spurt in growth is propelled by radical reforms such as the removal of restrictions on foreign investment and industrial de-licensing. Tailoring the EXIM policy to promote exports and aligning the import duties to meet WTO commitments further contributed to this development. This trend is expected to continue over the next five years, driven by a favourable business policy environment in terms of tax cuts, broadening tax base, and reduced interest rates. The liberalization of the economy has opened new windows of opportunity for manufacturing sector. Increasingly the success of manufacturing industries is dependent on innovations, research and development. It is critical not only to remain competitive but also, significant advantages can be gained by developing and commercializing new technologies. With a size of US $ 22 billion, the engineering sector exports stood at US $ 6.6 billion in 2001-02 and imports at US $ 4.9 billion the same year. Indian engineering manufacturing sector employs over 4 million skilled and semi-skilled workers. The engineering manufacturing sector comprises of heavy engineering (70%) and light engineering (30%). Indias growing integration with the global economy and the governments recognition that infrastructure needs to be overhauled are likely to ensure that the trend rate of growth increases in the next decade.

Industrial growth
The manufacturing sector grew by 8.9% in 2004-05, comfortably outperforming the sectors long term average growth rate of 7%. The sector has remained one of the engines of economic growth since the start of 2005-06. Industrial growth averaged 7.1% per annum in the 1980s. It accelerated slightly to 7.6% per year in the first five years following the beginning of the economic policy reform process in 1991. In the second half of the 1990s industrial growth trended lower at around 5% per annum. However, since 2002-03 industrial growth has accelerated markedly on the back of recent strong GDP growth. Rising disposable incomes, easy access to finance and the changing attitudes of Indias rapidly rising middle class (with a traditional focus on savings) have resulted in a consumer lending boom. Industrial growth rose above 8% in 2004-05, with consumer durables and non -durables showing exceptionally strong growth. Capitalgoods production has been growing at double-digit rates since 2002-03, suggesting increased investment in the industrial sector and the economy as a whole.
Macro-Level Bottlenecks for growth

Critical issues for growth are Historical focus on small scale unorganized manufacturing units, Poor infrastructure and High cost of power. The other important reasons for the Indian manufacturing being not competitive enough include: 1. Poor quality of transport infrastructure across all sectors including port facilities (where productivity is among the lowest in the world), surface roads, railways, airports and waterways. 2. High cost of power. Industrial power continues to be among the most expensive in the world. It is about 50 per cent more expensive than in China. 3. High cost of capital: It continues to be 10-12 % against international average of 6-8%.

Manufacturing Technology Status

Technology development is critical to a country's efforts in improving productivity, efficiency and competitiveness of its industrial sector. Factor cost advantages are being replaced by technology - related factors such as zero-defect product quality and international certification of firms' quality assurance systems (e.g., ISO 9000) in determining international competitiveness. Central to maintaining competitiveness is the ability of producers to respond quickly and effectively to the changing demands of the international market. Technological capabilities can be best described in terms of three levels: the basic level involves the ability to operate and maintain a new production plant based on imported technology, the intermediate level consists of the ability to duplicate and adapt the design for an imported plant and technique elsewhere in the country or abroad, while an advanced level involves a capability to undertake new designs and to develop new production systems and components. Most Indian manufacturing firms appear to be stuck at the basic or intermediate level of technological capabilities. Though Indian manufacturing industry has mastered standard techniques it has remained dependent for highly expensive and complicated technologies.

Profile of key manufacturing sub-sector AUTO COMPONENTS

Key Facts Size: USD 6.7 Billion Exports: USD 1 Billion Growth: 25% per annum
Indian auto component industry has grown from USD 3.9 Billion to USD 6.7 Billion in 3 years (2003-04) as India is becoming a preferred destination for sourcing by Original Equipment Manufacturers and growth of domestic auto industry. The attractiveness of Indian industry can be explained by the fact that presently around 12 global auto giants have set up international purchasing offices in India and 150 more are expected by 2010. India offers OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) a great cost -quality proposition, thus making it a preferred destination for outsourcing. Indian manufacturers enjoy the advantages of cheaper raw materials and availability of educated, qualified and skilled labour as well as engineers and designers at much lower costs. Technological advancements made by some of these domestic players have allowed them to become integrated partners rather than mere outsourcing partners. Indian automobiles and components are gaining increasing acceptance in world markets due to their cost -competitiveness. Auto components exports have shot up from $578 million in 2001-02 to $1000 million in 2003-04. The industry expects the growth to continue as domestic manufacturers acquire greater technological skills.
Technology Status
Indian companies are no longer restricting themselves to component manufacturing. They are also focusing on using their expertise in CAD/CAM and in designing and engineering capabilities by entering into designing and development of components for new product. Indias automotive component industry manufactures the entire range of parts required for vehicle manufacture. To meet international quality requirements and for tapping the global markets, the Indian auto ancillary units have entered into joint ventures with MNCs.

Page | 28
Ratio analysis:
1. Current ratio
The current ratio for the year 2011 is indicating 0.88 and for the year 2012 it is 0.87. As the ratio is under 1 the company will be unable to pay off its obligations if they came due at that point. While this shows the company is not in good financial health, it does not mean that it will go bankrupt.
2. Quick assets ratio

Quick ratio is 0.75 for 2012 and for 2011 it is 0.79, as calculated. The short term liquidity of the company is reduced against the previous year liquidity i.e. of 2011; the company is not quite capable of meeting its short term obligations with its most liquid assets. However, the company is stable in its financial standing.
3. Cash coverage ratio

The cash coverage ratio indicates a stable standing of the company, as the company is capable of paying its interest expenses with the available amount of cash they possess. The ratio calculated is, for 2012- 1.23:1 and for 2011- 2.46:1. Evidently, there has been reduction, comparatively.
4. Fixed Assets turnover ratio

The company has posted a higher fixed asset turnover ratio, which means, the company has been more effective in using the investments in fixed assets to generate revenues.
5. Capital turnover ratio

The capital turnover ratio is high, which shows the companies effectiveness in using its invested capital and generating good revenues from capital employed.
Page | 29
6. Return on equity
The companys Return on net worth is 7% as a percentage of shareholders equity, the company possess a good profitability by using the money shareholders have invested but evidently the returns to equity have been reduced to a high extent in 2012, compared to the ROE of 2011.
7. Debt-Equity ratio
The debt equity ratio, i.e. 4.16 in 2012, shows that the company has been aggressive in financing its growth by debt. As this company is in auto component manufacturing, they tend to have a debt/ equity ratio above 2.

STANDARD COST & VARIANCE ANALYSIS
Page | 35
A) General Introduction
Statement of the problem:

In India the setup of multinational companies has given rise to cut throat competition and strive to survive and grow continuously from its present state and becoming competitive in nature. Decrease in costs in turns increases profits, so the manufacturer has to keep a close watch and control over the costs. A manufacturer incurs cost in conversion of raw materials into finished goods and selling the same to the consumer. It is essential to keep a careful watch on such costs incurred and check upon the variances in cost which has an effect on the profits. Thus, cost analysis will make us understand the cost variances and also help us to find out measures to optimise them.
Objective of the Study:
The objective of the study is: To understand the Standard cost and variance analysis procedures followed in Gold Seal, comparing the standard costs with actual costs to find out favourable or unfavourable variances and analysing those variances to understand what are the reasons for such variances. To achieve this purpose, I have chosen Gold Seal-Saargummi India Private Ltd, and studied Sales margin report, trial balance for the month of JANUARY 2013 and its financial statement.
Page | 36
Scope of the study:

The scope of study is confined to the information disclosed by each and every department head. The study is concerned to the Financial Department of Gold Seal Ltd. Mumbai unit. The attempt is made to understand Standard Cost and Variance analysis procedures implemented in Gold Seal Ltd. Regular assignments are assigned to understand the financial work process and gain necessary information on the respective topic. Access to resources helped me to acquire information to the best of my need. The study is confined only to Gold Seal-SAARGUMMI India Pvt. Ltd.
Methodology:
Data sources: Both Primary & Secondary sources have been used.

THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF STANDARD COST AND VARIANCE ANALYSIS
Introduction to Cost Accounting
COST ACCOUNTING: MEANING Cost accounting is regarded as the process of collecting, analyzing, summarizing and evaluating various alternative courses of action involving costs and advising the management on the most appropriate course of action based on the cost efficiency and capability of the management.
COST SHEET: MEANING Cost sheet is a statement, which shows various components of total cost of a product. It classifies and analyses the components of cost of a product. Previous periods data is given in the cost sheet for comparative study. It is a statement which shows per unit cost in addition to Total Cost. Selling price is ascertained with the help of cost sheet. The detail of total cost presented in the form of a statement is termed as Cost sheet. Cost sheet is prepared on the basis of: 1. Historical Cost 2. Estimated Cost
1. Historical Cost: Meaning Historical Cost sheet is prepared on the basis of actual cost incurred. A statement of cost prepared after incurring the actual cost is called Historical Cost Sheet.
2. Estimated Cost: Meaning Estimated cost sheet is prepared on the basis of estimated cost. The statement prepared before the commencement of production is called estimated cost sheet. Such cost sheet is useful in quoting the tender price of a job or a contract.

Importance of Cost Sheet: The importance of cost sheet is as follows: 1. Cost ascertainment The main objective of the cost sheet is to ascertain the cost of a product. Cost sheet helps in ascertainment of cost for the purpose of determining cost after they are incurred. It also helps to ascertain the actual cost or estimated cost of a Job. 2. Fixation of selling price To fix the selling price of a product or service, it is essential to prepare the cost sheet. It helps in fixing selling price of a product or service by providing detailed information of the cost. 3. Help in cost control For controlling the cost of a product it is necessary for every manufacturing unit to prepare a cost sheet. Estimated cost sheet helps in the control of material cost, labour cost and overheads cost at every point of production. 4. Facilitates managerial decisions It helps in taking important decisions by the management such as: whether to produce or buy a component, what prices of goods are to be quoted in the tender, whether to retain or replace an existing machine etc.
Sales If the profit margin is added to the total cost, sales are arrived at. Excess of sales over total cost is termed as profit. When total cost exceeds sales it is termed as Loss. Sales = Total Cost + Profit

Elements of cost:
Material (Material is a very important part of business) Direct material Labour Direct labour Overhead (Variable/Fixed) Indirect material Indirect labour Maintenance & Repair Supplies Utilities Other Variable Expenses Salaries Occupancy (Rent) Depreciation Other Fixed Expenses (In some companies, machine cost is segregated from overhead and reported as a separate element) They are grouped further based on their functions as:
Production or works overheads Administration overheads Selling overheads Distribution overheads
Page | 42
Classification of costs
Classification of cost means, the grouping of costs according to their common characteristics. The important ways of classification of costs are:
By nature or element: materials, labour, expenses. By functions: production, selling, distribution, administration, R&D. By traceability: direct and indirect. By variability: fixed, variable, and semi-variable. By controllability: controllable, uncontrollable. By normality: normal, abnormal. By Decision making Costs. Time of Occupation.

COST ACCOUNTING APPROACHES
Standardized or standard cost accounting Lean accounting Activity-based costing Resource consumption accounting Throughput accounting Marginal costing/cost-volume-profit analysis
STANDARDIZED OR STANDARD COST ACCOUNTING:
Standard costing is an important subtopic of cost accounting. Standard costs are usually associated with a manufacturing company's costs of direct material, direct labour, and manufacturing overhead.
Rather than assigning the actual costs of direct material, direct labour, and manufacturing overhead to a product, many manufacturers assign the expected or standard cost. This means that a manufacturer's inventories and cost of goods sold will begin with amounts reflecting the standard costs, not the actual costs, of a product. Manufacturers, of course, still have to pay the actual costs. As a result there are almost always differences between the actual costs and the standard costs, and those differences are known as variances.
REASONS FOR USING A STANDARD COSTING SYSTEM: Cost Control. Smooth out short-term fluctuations in direct costs. Costing systems that use budgeted data are economical.
Page | 44
VARIANCE ANALYSIS
In accounting, a variance is defined as the difference between the expected amount and the actual amount of costs or revenues. Variance analysis uses this standard or expected amount versus the actual amount to judge performance. The analysis includes an explanation of the difference between actual and expected figures as well as an evaluation as to why the variance may have occurred. The purpose of this detailed information is to assist managers in determining what may have gone right or wrong and to help in future decision-making. Variance analysis helps the management to understand the present costs and then control future costs.
FORMS OF VARIANCES
Positive/ Favourable Variance: (F) A variance can be put into the favourable category when the results are better than expected. This means that revenues were more than the expected amount or costs were below the budgeted amount. In accounting practice, a favourable variance is shown by noting a letter F in parenthesis on the reports. A favourable variance might earn a bonus for a manger, or perhaps a move up the corporate ladder.
Negative/ Unfavourable Variance: ( A / U) In contrast, the variance can be judged as unfavourable if the results are worse than expected. If the revenues were below expectations or the costs were higher than standard, the variance would be termed unfavourable or adverse. This would be denoted on the reports with the letter A or U, usually in parenthesis. Consistently creating an unfavourable variance might result in a manger being reprimanded or losing their job. However, the analysis is typically used to help mangers prevent a negative situation from recurring by providing information about what went wrong.
The standard cost of a finished product is the sum of the standard costs of the inputs:

STANDARD COST AND VARIANCE ANALYSIS PROCEDURE IN GOLD SEAL LTD.:
Sales margin report is generated for the companys ERP systems, i.e. Ramco systems.
The sales margin report consists of the quantity of items will be manufactured and sold during the particular month and the total value, total costs and profit of all the items.
The total cost is manually bifurcated into material cost and process cost. The material cost of each item is extracted by the help item code from Ramco systems one by one or using bill of materials prepared by finance personnel for convenience.
The scraps are separated from the total material costs according to the scrap provision made by the company.
Allocation of estimated expenses to each component of manufacturing expense are prepared considering the full capacity (70%), the estimated expenses are than calculated for the actual utilised capacity(53%) for the purpose of variance analysis.
Using the trial balance the actual costs incurred are extracted.
A cost sheet is prepared comprising of standard costs and actual costs, than variance percentage & amount is found, using this cost sheet.
Analysis and interpretation of the results is carried out, to understand the reasons for the variances and finding more efficient methods to controlling future costs.

CALCULATION OF VARIANCE:
Item code-S10031014 Item description- BOLERO BACK DOOR (M&M)
STANDARD [Production: 4470 units] Quantity(Kgs) Price per Kg Value/Cost (Rs) 4,635.39 118.31 5,48,412.99
ACTUAL [Production: 4470 units] 4,639.86 118.42 5,49,452.22
DIRECT MATERIAL PRICE VARIANCE:
Definition: The Direct Materials Price Variance is the difference between the actual and budgeted cost to acquire materials, multiplied by the total number of units purchased.
The material price variance is expressed as (AP SP)AQ
Where: (AP) = actual price per unit of material. (SP) = standard price per unit of direct material.
Page | 50
(AQ) = actual quantity of material purchased.
If actual price > standard price, then the variance is unfavorable. If actual price < standard price, then the variance is favorable
HERE, AP= 118.42 PER KG SP=118.31 PER KG AQ= 4639.86 KG
Therefore,
MPV= (118.42-118.31)*4639.86 MPV= 0.11*4639.86 MPV= 510.38 (A)
Page | 51
DIRECT MATERIAL QUANTITY VARIANCE:
Definition: The Direct Materials Quantity Variance is a measure of the difference between the actual quantity of materials used in production and the standard quantity allowed, multiplied by the standard price per unit of materials.
Direct Materials Quantity Variance is also known as direct materials efficiency variance and direct materials usage variance.
The material quantity variance is expressed as (AQ SQ)SP
Where: (AQ) = actual quantity of material used. (SQ) = standard quantity of material allowed. (SP) = standard price of material.
If actual quantity > standard quantity, then the variance is unfavorable. If actual quantity < standard quantity, then the variance is favorable.
HERE, AQ = 4639.86 SQ = 4635.39 SP = 118.31 Page | 52
Therefore,
MQV= (4639.86-4635.39)*118.31 MQV= 4.47*118.31 MQV=528.85 (A)

SALES:
Sales Returns
Description Sales Returns
Budget 2.95 Lacs
Actual 71.90 K
Variance 2.23 Lacs
INTERPRETATION: This chart indicates, the budgeted sales return is Rs.2.95 Lacs and the actual being Rs.71.9 K. Sales returns show Favourable variance.
There is a sales return of Rs.71.90K which is 0.12% of sales, as against cost support of 0.5%. As we notice in actually that the sales returns are down, showing efficiency, and the variance being 2.23 lacs.
Page | 54
The Sales amount in P & L A/c also includes re-imbursement of Rs.10 lacs, which are of earlier period and are not to be included for cost sheet analysis.
Page | 55
Material Cost:
Direct Material Cost:
Description Direct material cost
Budget 364.61 Lacs
Actual 364.88 Lacs
Variance -27.08 K
INTERPRETATION: As against the budget allowed of Rs.364.61 lacs and actual expenditure works out to Rs. 364.88 lacs, resulting in excess expenditure of Rs.27.08 K. Hence, there exists an Unfavourable variance.
There exists a slight increase in direct material actual cost i.e. by 0.10%, as compared to Standard cost, the reason being the Exchange Rate variations of Rs.49.20K.
Page | 56
SCRAPS:
Description Scraps
Budget 46.90 Lacs
Actual 52.88 Lacs
Variance 5.98 Lacs
S CRAPS
6,000,000 5,000,000 4,000,000 3,000,000 2,000,000 1,000,000 Budgeted Actual Variance Budgeted Actual Variance
INTERPRETATION:
The chart shows the actual scraps to be Rs.52.88 Lacs and budgeted is Rs.46.90 Lacs. The actual scraps are 14.5% of material cost and the provisioned scraps are 12.86% on net material cost. Thus, there is an excess in scraps of Rs. 5.98 lacs (11%). The scraps show an Un-favourable Variance.
Scraps are increased by Rs.5.98lacs; the scrap provision is made 5% on all the parts except VW (Volkswagen) which is 25%. The scrap needs to be brought down to 13% of
Page | 57
material cost or required to be revised, in standard cost sheets, to take care of 15%, or more realistic figures, as management finds ok with.
Page | 58
Material cost is 70.42%, when compared to standard material cost i.e. 70.02%, of sales value. Hence
the actual material cost is more by Rs. 6.25 lacs (Refer Cost-Variation Table)
Hence, Total Material cost is unfavourable; the company paid more than its standard cost for the direct materials it purchased and also there includes excess scraps.
Page | 59
Direct Labour Cost:
Description Direct Labour Cost
Budget 24.28 Lacs
Actual 22.04 Lacs
Variance 2.25 Lacs
INTERPRETATION:
The chart indicates the actual direct labour cost Rs. 22.04 lacs, against standard cost of Rs.
24.28 lacs, resulting in savings of Rs. 2.25 lacs, in respect of estimates.
The actual labour cost is lower by Rs. 2.25 lacs, though plant was underutilized its capacity, i.e. 53% OEE as against 70%. However, it could not establish whether this is quantity variation or price variation, due to limited information available.
Page | 60
Hence, direct labour rate is favourable, the Company paid less than its standard cost for the direct labour it used.
Page | 61
Manufacturing Overheads Spending including indirect labour :
Description Manufacturing overheads
Budget 70.87 Lacs
Actual 63.30 Lacs
Variance 7.57 Lacs
INTERPRETATION:
Against the budget allowed of Rs. 70.87 lacs and the actual overheads works out to be Rs. 63.30 lacs resulting in savings of Rs. 7.57 Lacs.
Hence, the manufacturing overhead spending has a favourable variance; the companys actual manufacturing overhead costs are less than the budgeted costs.

INTERPRETATION: Against the budget allowed of Rs. 506.67 lacs and the actual expenditure cost works out to be Rs. 503.11 lacs resulting in the savings of Rs.3.56 Lacs i.e. the company is having 1% savings.
Hence, there is a favourable Total cost variance.
Page | 65
The cost variations for the period are as under:
