Cost Classification Laboratory
Understand cost behaviour, traceability and functional classification.
Classify Each Cost
Select the most appropriate primary classification.
Cost Sheet Simulator
Build prime cost, factory cost, production cost, total cost and selling price.
Working Ledger
Enter cost figures and calculate the complete structure.
Factory Cost = Prime Cost + Factory OH.
Cost of Production = Factory Cost + Administration OH.
Total Cost = Cost of Production + Selling & Distribution.
Selling Price = Total Cost + Profit.
Cost Structure

| Cost of Production | — |
| Total Cost | — |
| Profit | — |
| Selling Price | — |
Marginal Costing Laboratory
Analyse contribution, variable cost, fixed cost and operating profit.
Contribution & Profit Calculator
Results update live as inputs change.
⚡ INTERPRETATION GATE
If contribution is positive but overall profit is negative, the firm is:
Break-Even & Target Profit Laboratory
Analyse break-even volume, P/V ratio, margin of safety and target profit.
Break-Even Calculator
Use live sensitivity analysis.
Target Profit
Determine required sales volume.
Absorption Costing Laboratory
Calculate overhead absorption rates and analyse under or over absorption.
Overhead Absorption Rate
Calculate rate and absorbed overhead.
Activity-Based Costing Laboratory
Move from traditional overhead allocation to activity-driven cost assignment.
Activity Rate & Cost Assignment
Calculate activity rate and assign cost to a product.
Standard Costing & Variance Laboratory
Calculate material price and usage variances and interpret performance.
Material Price Variance
MPV = AQ × (SP − AP)
Material Usage Variance
MUV = SP × (SQ − AQ)
Production Budget Laboratory
Translate sales forecasts and inventory requirements into production requirements.
Production Budget
Sales + Closing Inventory − Opening Inventory
Managerial Decision Laboratory
Apply relevant costing to make-or-buy, special orders and scarce-resource decisions.
Make-or-Buy Decision
Relevant cost comparison
Special Order Decision
Incremental profit analysis
Limiting Factor / Product Ranking
Contribution per scarce resource
Professional Case Room
Apply multiple cost accounting techniques to integrated professional scenarios.
Full Cost Pricing
Build the complete cost sheet and recommend a selling price that recovers all costs plus the required profit.
Make or Buy
Supplier quotation received. Identify only relevant avoidable costs and recommend whether to make or buy.
Break-Even Challenge
Determine BEP, target profit volume and margin of safety under changing selling-price conditions.
Performance Investigation
Material price and usage both differ from standard. Calculate, interpret and identify investigation priorities.
