Book Description
Excerpt from Cost Accounting in Shipbuilding In the preliminary statement on uniform cost meth ods for shipbuilders which was submitted on November 1, 1918, through the courtesy of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, there is included an outline of the needs and advantages Of uniform cost methods in the ship building industry. These benefits have been considered in the development of the principles and methods which are set up in this report. Shipbuilders and business men in general fully recog nize the value of accurate cost statistics as a means Of establishing standards for estimating and for comparing operating efficiencies, and for providing proper bases Of production costs and selling prices. The need for and advantages of uniform cost methods in the shipbuilding industry are intensified when the va ried activities and output Of shipyards and the possibili ties for incomplete figuring Of costs and losses in pro duction are considered. While it is possible, it is not essential for purposes Of comparison for the uniform cost methods to furnish scientifically accurate figures. The main Obj ect and the important advantage Of the use Of uniform methods is that all costs will be included and figured in the same way.
