1. INTRODUCTION
One of the objectives of cost accounting system is ascertainment of cost for a
cost object. The cost objects may be a product, service or any cost centre.
Ascertainment of cost includes elementwise collection of costs, accumulation
of the costs so collected for a certain volume or period and then arrange all
these accumulated costs into a sheet to calculate total cost for the cost
object. In this chapter, a product or a service will be the cost object for cost
calculation and cost ascertainment.

they have been incurred. The following are the classification of costs based on
functions:
(i) Direct Material Cost
(ii) Direct Employee (labour) Cost
(iii) Direct Expenses

COST SHEET 6.3 a
3.1 Prime Cost

direct material consumed is calculated as follows:
Opening Stock of Material xxx
