The manufacturing cost accounting system encompasses both direct and overhead costs, with detailed breakdowns for production and sales calculations.
Key points:
- Betriebsabrechnungsbogen (BAB) serves as the primary tool for cost allocation
- Direct costs are immediately assignable to cost units while overhead costs require distribution
- Manufacturing costs include material, labor, and special direct costs
- Cost calculations consider both production and sales-related expenses
- The system distinguishes between single-stage and multi-stage cost accounting
