ABSTRACT: Solar cabinet dryer for drying of dates is one of the promising technology for obtaining good quality dried dates which is again energy and cost effective technology. From the cost analysis of the solar cabinet dryer installed at CCE, Oman there is a clear indication that the energy per unit cost was comparable to any other modern drying technology like freeze drying, where energy consumption is more. As per the annual life cycle costing (ALCC) carried out for solar cabinet dryer the cost per unit energy obtained was Rs.63.36/kWh, when 5 hours of potential sunshine hour was taken into account. Under the test condition, the specific moisture extraction rate was found to be 0.84 kg/kWh and it took only 24 hours to dry dates from moisture content of 49.01% to 35.21% in cabinet dryer compared to sun drying which took 48 hours which is double. In the presence of heat storage unit, the thermal efficiency of solar dryer for forced convection drying obtained for the period of study was 26%. Due to the presence of heat storage unit five plus two hours extended drying time was available. In that case the cost per unit energy was Rs. 45.28/kWh. If this solar dryer unit is produced in bulk surely the production cost or the capital cost will come down drastically. This would in turn reduce the cost/unit of energy. However the cost of raw material and the selling price of dried dates were not taken into account. If they were taken into account surely more cost reduction could be expected.

The purpose of this study were to know the role of calculation cost of goods manufactured and  determination of the selling price of shoes in the Heriyanto’s shoes MSME. To knowing the extent of differences in determination the cost of goods manufactured by using the company method and the full costing approach and compare the selling price according to the company's method with using the Cost Plus Pricing. The type of research used is qualitative research. The analytical method used in this study is qualitative descriptive analysis. The data used in this study are primary data. Data were obtained directly through observation and interviews with the Heriyanto’s shoes MSME and data in the form of information on production costs such as raw material costs, labor costs, and factory overhead costs MSME during December 2018. While for secondary data. Data were obtained from intermediary media such as books or literature, journals related to the title of the research, and can also be via the internet. The results of the study it can be concluded that the cost of goods manufactured calculation according Heriyanto’s MSME is lower than the cost of  goods manufactured calculation using the full costing method. The cost of goods manufactured according heriyanto’s MSME is Rp. 15.675/pair or Rp. 313.492/score (Hamer Material) and Rp. 14.600/pair or Rp. 291.992/score (Kavaro Material). While the cost of goods manufactured used the full costing method, which is Rp. 16.310/pair or Rp. 326.201/score (Hamer Material) and Rp. 15.235/pair or Rp. 304.701/score (Kavaro Material). This is caused  factory overhead costs that are not calculate by Heriyanto’s MSME such as electricity costs, gas costs, maintenance costs for machinery and factory vehicles, and depreciation costs.             Determination of selling price must be appropriately because the determination of selling prices that are too high will result in difficulty competition with similar products while the determination of selling prices too low will result in reduced income generated by Heriyanto’s MSME. The difference in determination the cost of good manufactured will affect the Heriyanto’s MSME in determining the selling price, because the cost of goods manufactured is the main element in determination selling price. Calculation of selling prices according Heriyanto’s MSME is Rp. 18.026/pair or Rp. 360.516/score (Hamer Material) and Rp. 16.790/pair or Rp. 335.791/score (Kavaro material). While the selling price used the Cost Plus Pricing method which is Rp. 18.814/pair or Rp. 376.281/score (Hamer Material) and Rp. 17.578/pair or Rp. 351.556/score (Kavaro material). Keywords : Cost of Goods manufactured, Selling Price, Full Costing, Cost Plus Pricing

Manufacturing of products incurred raw material costs, direct labor costs, and factory overhead   costs, which could be used to determine the price of the product sold.  On the contrary, the company, which manufactured thousands of toys and dolls monthly, did not have proper cost record. Production cost calculated by the average of total cost divided with a total of confirmed product. Hence, the production cost for each product could not be defined precisely. Based on the problems described, a web application was developed to manage the recording of transaction and automatically calculated the cost of production. This application's functionalities were able to manage purchasing activities, handing over raw materials to production, confirming finished goods, calculating production costs, posting journals and ledgers, and reporting of the cost of production. This application could help companies to calculate the unit cost. Based on a comparison between manual and application testing, it could be concluded that output in the application displayed an exact match from the manual. Thus, this web-based application was ready to be implemented in the company.

Manufacturing company is a company that processes raw goods into semifinished or finished goods. In manufacturing companies to determine the selling price does not escape from the calculation of the cost of production which is appropriate and in accordance with cost accounting standards. PT. Indramukti Segara is a fast food company that comes from natural ingredients. Products produced by PT. Indramukti Segara includes: pecel sauce and fried onions. Calculation of cost of goods manufactured by PT. Indramukti Segara is not right to determine the selling price, because the company only calculates the material used multiplied by the price of the material. On this occasion the author analyzes the cost of production in accordance with the Cost Accounting standard and conducts a comparison between two methods, namely: the full costing method and the variable costing method.  The purpose of this study is to compare the cost of production using the full cost and variable costs method. The data collected comes from the results of interviews with the Production Administration, Sambel Pecel production supervisor, and employees of Sambel production at PT. Indramukti Segara. Data obtained includes data on raw material expenditure, direct labor costs, and factory overhead costs that are fixed and variable. Based on the comparison of the calculation of Cost of Production between the full cost method and variable costs there are differences, because the full cost method calculates all costs that are fixed and variable while the variable cost method only calculates costs that are variable in nature.

Matang Mangrove Forest is under systematic management since 1902 and still considered as the best managed mangrove forest in the world. This research was conducted to measure the time and productivity of forest harvesting operation and also to analyze the cost and revenue of mangrove forest harvesting operation at Matang mangrove forest. This project had been carried out in cooperation with Seri Sepetang Enterprise, one of the harvesting licenses in Kuala Sepetang, Perak.  Data collections were taken in every station starting from standing tree until to the Kiln-Drying jetty. The data then calculated by using the formulas of productivity and cost analysis. As the result, the productivity for felling, bucking and debarking, the manual skidding using wheel-barrow and the water transportation are 1.84 tan/hour, 3.82 tan/hour and 4.64 tan/hour respectively.  The cost for each operation of 9 tan log volume for felling, bucking and debarking, the manual skidding using wheel-barrow and the water transportation are RM 56.88, RM 10.80 and RM 36.72 respectively. As the revenue, the company paid RM 260 per 9 tan of log for the in-forest operation (felling, manual skidding and loading to the ship) and pay RM 80 per 9 tan for the water transportation, and they gained the net profit of RM 192.32 and RM 43.28 respectively. The average of forest harvesting operation is twice operation in a day (equal with 2 x 9-ton volume of log production a day), so they will gain a double profit.  In conclusion, the forest harvesting operation is sustainably managed for supplying the raw material of charcoal industries in Matang mangrove forest. Since, they work manually and spend much energy in this forest harvesting operation, so for further study it recommends to conduct the ergonomics evaluation during forest harvesting operation at Matang Mangrove Forest.

Water hyacinth is a waste that can be utilized by the community as an alternative potential for biogas energy. The formation of biogas from water hyacinth requires a residence time (LT) that is still long, which is between 30-35 days for the formation of methane. So that the process of forming methane is not too long, a stater is needed so that methanogenic bacteria can increase from cow dung so that the residence time is much shorter. The process of making biogas starts from making a digester, the process of taking water hyacinth by chopping water hyacinth, preparing cattle dung stater. The purpose of this study is to analyze technically and economically biogas from water hyacinth with cow manure stater. This research was carried out through several stages, namely: preparation of raw materials, stater and plastic biogas digester and techno-economic analysis. In this study the ratio of raw material 1: 1 (water hyacinth chopped 20 kg, water 20 kg) and the addition of stater cattle dung 6 kg. The results of this study are that the technical aspects of biogas start production after 10 days of filling the digester at pH 7.1. Biogas produced is known by direct flame test. Visible on the 10th day the resulting flame is still small, but this shows that the gas has been formed. The pH of the digester is between 4.7 and 8.5. The decrease in TS value from the inlet which is 46 kg to the outlet is 28 kg, indicating that there has been degradation in the substrate in the digester. On the economical aspect the investment cost of a biogas installation in a synthetic digester is IDR 1,500,000.00. Variable costs are the cost of water hyacinth, cow dung and water of Rp 150,000.00 per year. The Cost of Biogas Production is Rp 3,836.08 and if it is sold at a margin of 50% the selling price is Rp 5,800. The break even point in kilograms is 267.2 and in rupiahs is Rp 1.025,000.00. This payback period for investment in biogas business is 2.86 years.

This work proposes a new combination and proportion of chemicals available in the local market to prepare laundry detergent at low cost in context of Bangladesh. The proposed formula ensures good foaming and washing quality of the detergent that can compete the existing other laundry detergents in the market. The pH of the product is maintained at 10 which is close to that of other detergent powder being sold in market now. The cost analysis in accordance with the proposed formula shows that the production of 1 kg detergent powder costs 20-25 BDT; therefore, can be sold at a price lower than the other detergents available in market. The proposed formula can reduce the selling price of the detergent at 40-45 BDT, whereas the other companies are selling it from 50-140 BDT in the market. This offers a new scope to produce laundry detergent at a very low cost as well as good washing performance of the product using the locally available chemicals in Bangladesh.
