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 dis cussed 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.

Excerpt from Principles of Cost Accounting The motive which prompted the author to prepare and publish Cost Accounting, was the desire to supply a demand for a text book on the part of the students in New York University School of Commerce, Accounts and Finance. In presenting it for public consideration it is desired to have clearly understood the fact that it is intended as a text book especially adapted to the needs of students, and is not in tended as a general reference work. The supply of literature on the subject of cost account ing 13 increasing rapidly. The quality of such literature is of a high order. The fault to be found with it from the point of View of a teacher is that it is too highly specialized. The tendency on the part of authors on this subject is to select some particular industry or line of production and describe a particular system, attempting to make such typical of the entire subject. Most systems are accompanied by elaborate forms. In fact it may be said that many systems are nothing more than a collection of forms. This practice has been carried to such an extent that it would not be extravagant to state that the average student looks upon the study of cost accounting as a matter of becoming familiar with certain specific forms comprising a particular system. In this maze of forms the student becomes lost and the principles underlying the forms are entirely overlooked.

Excerpt from How to Find Factory Costs The Federal Trade Commission has called attention to the fact that less than 20 per cent of the business concerns in this country have a cost system, and that a large proportion of the many failures recorded every year are due to the absence of an accurate knowledge of what it costs to manufacture and sell. The Commission is urging every business man to take this first step in the development of that primary effectiveness by means of which this country can alone be brought to an appropriate degree of industrial preparedness. Realizing that the very large majority of our industrial concerns consists of small plants unable to afford the kind of expert assistance which the larger concerns have drawn on for the development of their cost systems, the publishers of factory and system have from time to time presented articles showing how simple cost systems have been and may be developed. These articles have usually shown applications to special lines of business, and, on account of this fact and the limitations of space, they have not individually been able to handle the subject in comprehensive detail. In preparing How to Find Factory Costs the services of a competent expert have therefore been enlisted to outline briefly and clearly the elements of a good cost system, in such a way that it can be understood and applied by the average manager and the average accountant of the average small plant, without in the least sacrificing that degree of thoroughness and accuracy vital to the success of any cost system. The book is planned to be broad enough to apply to all kinds ofindustries. It is intended to be detailed enough to be useful to the accountant, and at the same time to include the rela tion of cost statistics to the entire effectiveness of operation, so as to be most useful to the factory head. The author, C. Bertrand Thompson, was selected on account of his experience in the development of cost and efficiency systems in a wide variety of industries, including machine shops, electrical specialties, shoe factories, book binderies, printing plants, and box factories. In addition to this experience, his record as a teacher of factory management at Harvard University, and as a writer on this and other subjects for factory, system, and other magazines, proves him capable of conveying his practical knowledge to others in a form both instructive and interesting.

Excerpt from Production Factors: In Cost Accounting and Works Management Mr. Churche's study of the Distribution of Expense Burden in manufacturing establishments, especially machine-tool using and machine-building plants, is widely known as one of the very important contributions to exact knowledge of costs of production. His first contribution to take authoritative rank and permanent standing in the literature of the subject appeared serially in The Engineering Magazine from July to December, 1901, and as reissued in book form has become standard in libraries of works management and industrial engineering. In the discussion now presented (which also was first presented as a series of articles in The Engineering Magazine running from October, 1909, to April, 1910), he extends the idea of accurate allocation of costs much further. He proposes, indeed, a new way of looking at the whole problem of manufacturing expense. His purpose is to avoid the averagings and approximations of a mixed expense account, now commonly in use, by recognizing from the very outset all the important "factors" in production, and segregating continuously the charges belonging to each. Many such factors can be recognized, he maintains, quite as distinct and determinable as the wages factor, and reducible to unit values which may be applied directly to the product they serve. The demonstration is thorough, practical, concrete enough to enable the cost accountant or manager to apply it to his own case, yet not lacking in the broad statement of. principle that applies to all cases. It will be followed with interest by all who are associated with the investigation of the real facts of production costs.

Excerpt from Manufacturing Costs and Accounts While many excellent treatises exist on Cost Accounting, there is none, as far as 1 know, that can be placed in the hands of a student for the purpose of gradually introducing him to the underlying principles on which manufacturing accounting of all kinds must rest. The subject is so vast, and the side issues so numerous that to compile a treatise that shall not be, on the one hand, quite unwieldly, or on the other, quite inadequate, is a very difficult task. The temptation to elaborate minor points is constantly present, and in doing so the main thread of the subject is apt to be interrupted. It has seemed more important to present a comparatively simple view of the general structure of cost accounts than to attempt the detailed description of specific systems, on which in fact many adequate volumes arc already in existence. At the same time, the peculiar position of the cost accountant had to be kept in mind. The cost man is rarely an accountant in the full sense of that word. He lives in a world of detail, and is apt to undervalue the broader groupings that alone interest, as a rule, the general accountant. It has been attempted in the present work to show the cost accountant the relation of his work to the general accounts. Further, the peculiar value of detail to the technical arm has been emphasized with a view to exhibit to the general accountant a viewpoint that he sometimes misses. The aim of this book is, therefore, somewhat different from that of existing works. The why and wherefore of cost accounting is its peculiar field, and it is hoped that armed with this fundamental information the student will have no difficulty in applying his reading to the particular problems he may meet.
