Introduction. Peculiarities of cost behaviour and specificity of their modelling in the production of metallurgical products are considered. It is established that the definition of the volume of costs and cost of metallurgical products is regulated by P (C) BO 16 "Costs" and has sectoral features that involve the application of various methods of accounting for costs and calculating the cost of production. The main external and internal factors influencing the behaviour of expenses are determined. Effective methods for study of the dynamics of expenses at the enterprises of the metallurgical industry are offered. It has been established the following factors: business functions, investigated object of cost calculation and choice of method of cost calculation influence the behaviour of expenses. The function of costs of production of metallurgical products with the help of means of economic and mathematical modelling of correlation and regression analysis is constructed. The use of such cost response indicators as factors of comparison of seasonal behaviour costs and business activity of metallurgical production output has been proved. The prospects of application of the obtained econometric model in the practical economic activity of the enterprise for making effective management decisions both in the short-term and long-term perspective are determined. Purpose. The article aims to highlight the peculiarities of formation of the accounting information about expenses at the enterprises of the metallurgical industry; to highlight the factors affecting the behaviour of costs; to investigate the behaviour of the expenses of the enterprise of metallurgical products and to develop the economic and mathematical model of total expenses; present the stages of a comprehensive study of cost behaviour. Method (methodology). Method of system analysis, methods of causal analysis, method of correlation and regression analysis, table and graphical methods, dynamic series method (chain change coefficients) have been used in this research. Results. Features of cost formation of metallurgical production have been highlighted. The factors influencing the behaviour of expenses taking into account the seasonal component have been presented. The cost function has been developed and complemented by its cost response indicators for the purpose of integrated assessment of cost behaviour and the adoption of effective managerial decisions.

The selection of the right cost calculation method is of critical importance when it comes to determining the real product profitability (as well as clients and other calculation objects). Traditional cost calculation methods often provide false information. The literature offers many examples of big companies that have given up traditional methods and applied a new method: activity-based costing (ABC). They discovered that many products that are manufactured generate losses and not profits. Managers, based on incorrect calculations, mistakenly believed in the profitability of each product. Turney (1991) reports on an example of an American manufacturer of over 4,000 different integrated circuits. The cost calculation with the allocation of direct production costs as machinery-hour markup demonstrated a profit margin of over 26% for each product. Implementing ABC showed that the production of more than half of the products was not profitable, and having factored in additional sales and management costs (which accounted for about 40% of the total costs), it was as much as over 75%.

This study challenges the fairness of sectional title schemes’ levies that are ordered by the Sectional Title Act (95 of 1986) to be allocated according to the participation quota (floor area) of units. Studies have shown that larger units in a sectional title scheme tend to subsidise the levies of smaller units. A log-transformed linear regression analysis was performed to investigate the cost behaviour of 113 sectional title schemes. The results revealed that 86% of the variation in the operating costs of a scheme is attributable to the variation in the area of a scheme, while 87% of the variation in operating costs is attributable to a variation in the number of units in a scheme. The conclusion is that the area and the number of units in a scheme are equally significant drivers of operating costs. Therefore, the study recommended that the levies should be allocated on a 50/50 basis with regard to area and number of units.

The study of the efficiency of the grain economy has shown that its level is determined by production costs. Correlation and regression analysis of the factors of the production cost of 100 kg of grain has revealed that its value is determined, first of all, by the level of intensification of the industry and the yield capacity of grain and leguminous crops. According to the obtained result, in order to lower level the production cost of 100 kg of grain, the value of production costs per hectare of area under crops should not exceed 10.5 thousand rubles (the level of intensification) and the yield of grain and leguminous crops should not be less than 17.5 dt/ha. Otherwise, the production cost of 100 kg of grain will be too high, which will lead to a decrease in the profitability of the grain economy.

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study is to examine the applicability of Time Driver Activity Bassed Costing (TDABC) in the calculation of the cost of production at manufacturing companies. A qualitative research design with a case study approach has been carried out on the production of RIO bottled drinking water (AMDK), a business unit of the BUMN Employees Cooperative in Gresik, for this test. Time drivers have provided solutions to the difficulty of implementing the ABC method in calculating the cost of production, due to the diversity of activity drivers. TDABC does not change the ABC method as a whole, but only simplifies the determination of activity drivers by time drivers. TDABC which is applied in the calculation of the cost of goods manufactured at a manufacturing company can produce a cost calculation of production costs that is more accurate than the calculation of the cost of production using the traditional method, because it has distributed overhead costs to each product based on the activity consumed by the product measured in units of time . More further research is needed on the application of TDABC in manufacturing companies, so that the difficulties of applying this method can be identified and solutions can be found. Keywords: TDABC, calculation, manufacturing, accurate.
