Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cost Accounting and Burden Application The object of this book is to examine the elements of cost, and to define principles and describe methods of procedure in the development of a cost accounting practice, particularly in respect to the determination and application of overhead charges or burden. In Chapter III material and material costs are discussed with reference to the practice of a machine shop, or similar metal working industry. The principles which govern purchasing, however, and many relating to receiving, storing and issuing materials, are universal in their application. In Chapter IV on labor costs, the exposition of accounting principles and practice is concerned with work done on definite manufacturing orders (or similar orders for repairs, construction, maintenance, or operating expenses). There are, however, some articles manufactured which for various reasons cannot be conveniently segregated into lots, and their cost of manufacture accumulated on job orders. This is true of some kinds of textiles, the tanning of leather and the manufacture of products by continuous operations, such as flour, brick or cement. Products like candy, boots and shoes and the cheaper jewelry, although made in well defined lots, cannot effectively have their manufacturing cost reckoned actually in the same units.
