Prices and the distribution of national income

Author(s):  
Kazimierz Łaski

This chapter examines the role of the price system in macroeconomics and in the distribution of income between wages and profits. Prices are not naturally determined by supply and demand simultaneously. Instead, prices of raw materials tend to be demand-determined, while manufactured goods are set by the firms manufacturing them. The difference between them reflects the different degrees of monopoly or competition in their respective markets, so that the prices of finished goods are more likely to be set by their producers using a mark-up over labor costs.

PT Oto Media Kreasi is a service company engaged in the field of interior and exterior design bodies, producing based on orders or projects. The calculation of the cost of production at PT Oto Media Kreasi plays a role in determining the selling price, which affects the company's profit.The purpose of this study is to determine the calculation of the cost of production as well calculation in determining the selling price with the method applied by PT Oto Media Kreasi, also to find out the calculation of the cost of production as well as the calculation in determining the selling price using the job order costing method and to know the role of the method job order costing in loading the cost of production precisely and more efficiently.The results showed that in calculating the cost of production of PT Oto Media Kreasi still used a simple calculation, only calculating the cost of raw materials, namely Rp.1,092,778,291, direct labor costs Rp.313,200,000, and overhead costs Rp.27,600,000 . The total calculation of the company's production cost is Rp. 1,433,578,291, with a margin percentage of 35.37% of the selling price of Rp. 1,940,640,000. Whereas in calculating the cost of production using the job order costing method in calculating the cost of raw materials Rp.1,101,178,291, the accumulated residual value of raw materials Rp.8,682,000, direct labor costs Rp.313,200,000, and overhead costs Rp.60,532 .260. The total calculation of the cost of production using the job order costing method is Rp.1,466,228,551, with a margin percentage of 32.36% of the selling price of Rp.1,940,640,000. The company has not calculated the cost of goods manufactured using the job order costing method, the cost of goods manufactured is only done by estimating all costs needed to produce a product, so the costs are not classified correctly and the calculations are sufficient simple, so it is difficult to determine the right selling price for a product ordered.The proposed use of the job order costing method is expected so that the owner of the company can apply the calculation of the cost of production so that the company can determine the cost of production in determining the selling price more precisely, so that the owner can know the overall cost of producing the order and also can know the actual acquisition of margins .

Increasingly rapid economic development resulted in many new companies springing up and creating a tight business competition. To be able to maintain business continuity, companies must be able to make a careful planning and control of the costs. Planning and control can be realized with the budget as a mean of control. Controlling costs by the company are intended to enable companies to minimize costs. At minimal costs the company will be able to achieve the profit target by more optimal as primary destinations in general. In connection to this, the purpose of this study was to determine the costs of the company budget preparation, budget realization costs and revenues, as well as the role of the budget as a mean of control in achieving its profit target. The research was conducted at PT ABC located in Bogor. PT ABC is one of the private companies engaged in construction services focusing on building the types of housing. This kind of development focus includes the construction of a building without infrastructure development. The study of PT ABC shows that the preparation of the company's budget is based on field survey and accompanying informations on the revenue budget and previous projects. In the implementation of the work there was an increase in the actual cost, thus resulting difference in the budget and actual costs. The occurrence of this difference will reduce the company’s profits. Overall budgets have created optimal control of the realization of the costs incurred. Budget serves as guidelines and benchmarks maximum value in any cost incurred by the company. However, in the implementation of the work there are still some shortcomings, resulting cost difference persists. This difference occurs because lack of oversight of the usage of raw materials. Companies must be able to improve control over the using of raw materials to be better coordinated. Increased control is evidenced by the increase in its profit target achievement on the next project. In the subsequent project, company managed to improve the performance of surveillance so that the difference in costs declined and its optimal profit target can be achieved.

IntroductionThe employment of resources is important for any aspect of the spectrumof overall development, be it economic or non-economic, spiritual or material.Although spiritual matters seem to be noneconomic in nature, their inculcationand development involve the use of resources. Hence, Allah (SWT) instructsmankind to invest in the development of spiritual values. The spread andestablishment of Islam require travelling, dissemination of knowledge,education, publication of literatw~u, se of media, protecton of Islamic societiesfrom non-Islamic forces (i.e. internal and external defense), administrationof institutions intended for the implementation of Islamic obligations andnorms, and the like. Each of these functions requires tremendous amountsof material and human resources.Economic development comprises two essential components: economicgrowth and equity in the distribution of income and wealth. Economic growthrequires investable resources for producing capital goods, hiring workers andmanagers, acquiring raw materials, improving technology, and organizingthe production process. In particular, capital formation and technologicalchange have been considered as key factors in economic development; theavailability of adequate investable resources is a prerequisite for the smoothsupply and use of these factors.The Islamic code of life provides enormous incentives for mobilizingresources, both material and human, and an institutional framework conduciveto efficient use of resources for development. This paper, which concentrateson mobilizing resources for development, discusses natural, human andfinancial resources, as well as the role of government and internal and externalinstitutions in the development process ...

Abstract This article is concerned with the economics of the distribution of income, emphasizing aspects which have been missing from the recent literature. It begins with factor shares and the rise in real interest rates. These are important in their own right and in relation to the determination of wage differentials. The paper questions the conventional wisdom which locates rising inequality and unemployment solely in a shift in demand away from unskilled workers. This explanation is too partial in its approach, is hard to reconcile with the empirical evidence, and ignores labour market institutions and the role of social norms. In seeking to explain the experience of different countries, we need to look not just at wages but also at the capital market, and should not be limited to a simple competitive supply-and-demand story.

Budgeting of production costs is very useful as a tool to find out and predict the costs of  production process in order that any surplus or deficiency of the production components can be avoided.  As a result,  carrying out performance measurement for cost control becomes  more simple and  eventually the goal is achieved. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of the production cost budget as a means of controlling production costs. The data used in this research are gained from the  interviews with relevant authorities  and direct observation to record the budget and the realization of production costs in 2018 and 2019. Analysis of the difference in costs is conducted at PT Yudhistira Ghalia Indonesia using  qualitative methods. The results of the research is obtained by comparing the budgeted costs with costs realization. The control of production costs can be done optimally. However, the company does not have  factory’s overhead costs budget that distinguishes between fixed overhead costs with variables. It is also found out that there are  deviations in direct labor costs resulting from the increased spending due to the hiring of new employees.     Key words : Production Cost Budget and Cost Control

In 1947, urban European populations were having difficulty finding enough to eat in local markets. Farmers were not selling their food to the cities because there were too few manufactured goods available to entice farmers to grow more than their families required. Manufacturing needed to be expanded and jobs created throughout the continent to revive urban demand for rural production. The American Marshall Plan was designed to provide the financing, raw materials, and food needed to kick-start Europe’s economic recovery and revive agriculture. This chapter describes that program and the role of food aid in the ensuing European recovery. It traces the shifting emphasis, in the later years of the Marshall Plan, to supporting governments in Asia facing increased threat of communist subversion. The chapter also charts the failure of the Truman administration to deal successfully with domestic agriculture, particularly the buildup in government-owned food stocks.

Dekkers and de Lang (1977) have discussed a practical method of realising differential phase contrast in a STEM. The method involves taking the difference signal from two semi-circular detectors placed symmetrically about the optic axis and subtending the same angle (2α) at the specimen as that of the cone of illumination. Such a system, or an obvious generalisation of it, namely a quadrant detector, has the characteristic of responding to the gradient of the phase of the specimen transmittance. In this paper we shall compare the performance of this type of system with that of a first moment detector (Waddell et al.1977).For a first moment detector the response function R(k) is of the form R(k) = ck where c is a constant, k is a position vector in the detector plane and the vector nature of R(k)indicates that two signals are produced. This type of system would produce an image signal given bywhere the specimen transmittance is given by a (r) exp (iϕ (r), r is a position vector in object space, ro the position of the probe, ⊛ represents a convolution integral and it has been assumed that we have a coherent probe, with a complex disturbance of the form b(r-ro) exp (iζ (r-ro)). Thus the image signal for a pure phase object imaged in a STEM using a first moment detector is b2 ⊛ ▽ø. Note that this puts no restrictions on the magnitude of the variation of the phase function, but does assume an infinite detector.
