Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    It is to determine the actual cost of production of a product or service as opposed to the overall operations of the entity. This would relate to both direct and indirect costs as every product has cost that to manufacture are needed specifically and then ancillary costs that are required for production but not a direct component or ingredient of the specific product.

      The purpose of cost accounting is some different with managerial accounting .
      It tracks cost associated with a product and also ancillary cost specifically.
      Cost accounting sets out cost in fixed and variable which helps in decision making process for the managers.

      It also tracks cost by nature i,e direct cost or indirect cost which really give widespread decision  
      to take correctly.
