Introduction. Modern enterprises operate in conditions of political and economic instability. This requires enterpris-es to build an integrated system for ensuring economic security. In Ukraine, the issue of economic security is relevant. But not fully understood. Need to clarify issues related to improving cost management. This is a factor in improving the econom-ic security of the enterprise. The purpose of the study is the theoretical and practical justification of cost management. Results. One of the the main goal of the enterprise is maximum profit. A factor in the success of enterprises is to re-duce production costs. Business security is a prerequisite for stable sustainable development and effective operation of the enterprise. Economic security depends on many factors: the actions of competitors, unsuccessful state policies, changing market conditions, and crisis phenomena. Object of enterprise security: personnel (managers, structural divisions, share-holders and employees), financial, economic, material and intellectual capital of the enterprise; specifics of activity. The head of the enterprise makes a decision. The decisions concern the price of the product, the amount of expenses. Costs - a decrease in the volume of material assets, cash. Cost management involves functions: forecasting, planning, rationing, organization, calculation, motivation and stimulation, accounting, analysis, regulation and control of expenses. Conclusions. We consider the “Cost-Volume-Profit” (CVP- analysis) analysis to be successful. It allows you to iden-tify changes in costs. The dependence of changes in production volumes and incomes on sales is studied; expenses and net profit. It’s substantiated that cost and profit planning using CVP analysis has limitations. Marginal income (profit) – the difference between sales revenue and variable costs. The higher the marginal income level, the faster fixed costs are reim-bursed. The average marginal income is an “indicator” of the contribution of a unit of production to covering fixed costs. The purpose of break-even analysis (CVP-analysis) is to predict financial results. Break-even analysis of economic activity is an indicator of the brink of effective and inefficient management. The same is the condition for maximizing profits. The main thing is an effective defense mechanism of the enterprise. Provides economic security of the enterprise from the threat of bankruptcy. Keywords: economic security, cost management, profit, costs, cost-volume-profit analysis.

Crisis phenomena in many countries of the world do not allow enterprises to develop. Enterprises have to face permanent threats and risks that significantly reduce the current level of their economic security, the problem of creating a protection system, that is, an integrated system of economic security has become a priority. The aim of the article is to determine the impact of the crisis on the management process and the efficiency of personnel use as the basis for the development of anti-crisis solutions, the implementation of which should provide the necessary level of economic security for the enterprise. The results of our study allowed us to identify possible options that ensure the effective implementation of anti-crisis personnel management, focused on restoring the level of economic security necessary for the functioning and development of the enterprise. It was found that in the process of implementing anti-crisis personnel management it has a number of features caused by both the difference in the impact of the crisis, that is, the presence of positive and negative consequences, and a significant list of external and internal factors that must be taken into account when developing each individual anti-crisis solution.

The article summarizes the establishment and production costs, as well as the potential profitability of a peach orchard in Florida. Our findings show the initial investment required for a peach operation in Florida to be $6,457 per acre; the expense in land preparation and planting alone in year 1 is $2,541 per acre. Variable and fixed costs in years 2 through 15 average $5,680 per acre. As an example of profitability, when using a 10% discount rate, an operation yielding 6,525 (7,254) pounds of marketable fruit per acre during its most productive years obtains a positive NPV when the average price is $2.38 ($2.13) per pound.

Modern science and practice does not have a sufficient set of cost management tools, taking into account the duration of the production cycle, characteristic of agricultural activity. The implementation of a cycle-oriented approach to building a model of production costs was based on studying the existing options for classifying production costs, which were supplemented with features from the perspective of managing long production cycles. As a result of the study, a model of production costs was built from the point of view of a cycle-oriented approach, as well as a model of production costs from the standpoint of features of a long production cycle. The model can serve as the basis for the formation of the information space of cost management, control and cost analysis in the economy of agricultural enterprises.

In this scientific study, the task is to consider the issues of methodological support of analytical procedures for managing economic security. The relevance of the issues under study is due to the need to ensure that the choice of methods for assessing the economic security of enterprises is consistent in the context of the real economic situation in society and the assessment of the degree of economic threats that occur in the activities of enterprises of various forms of ownership. Since the economic security of an enterprise is characterised as the state of security conditions for the implementation of its functions (through the introduction of resources, the implementation of the accumulated economic potential, prevention of hazards and risk management), therefore, an integrated economic security management system is based on an integrated system for assessing the general condition, and the latter, in a complex combination of methods assessment for the implementation of assessment objectives and the achievement of its goal. The purpose of this research work is to determine the prospects for high-quality methodological support of economic security management procedures. The leading approach to the implementation of the purpose of this research work is a combination of analytical and logical methods of researching the issues raised in its topic. The main results of this research should be considered: the development of a conceptual model for determining the level of economic security of an enterprise and the direction for setting the tasks of assessing composite systems of economic security. Prospects for further scientific research in a given direction were determined by the significance of the research topic in the context of the subsequent development of the economic situation in the country and the resulting need for a timely and correct assessment of the degree of risks of economic activity, as well as the proper provision of methodological procedures for their assessment. The applied value of this research work is in the possibility of practical application of the results obtained in theory in order to create opportunities for a qualitative assessment of the level of methodological support for the possibilities of analysing the effectiveness of managing the economic security of an enterprise, functioning in a real economic situation.

Abstract The research aims to analyze the costs of producing tomato under greenhouses in Anbar Governorate for the agricultural season (2019-2020), based on field data of 16 samples selected randomly. The results of the analysis shows that fixed costs constitute about (44.20%), while variable costs constitute about (55.80%) of the total costs. The average production costs in the research sample are about (109808) dinars/ton. The long-term cubic function was the best among the functions that express the relationship between production costs as a dependent variable and production and the number of greenhouses on the farm as independent variables. This is due to its analogy with the logic of economic theory. The modified coefficient of determination in it R-2 reached (0.98). It is found that the optimal size of the farm includes (3) greenhouses. It achieves the optimum production volume of (21.17) tons/farm. The average cost is about (64193) dinars/ton. (62.5%) of the farmers in the study sample achieve capacity savings, while (31.25%) do not achieve any savings. As for the percentage of farmers who achieve low rates of economic efficiency, they reach about (6.25%). The supply function shows that the elasticity of supply decreases with the increase in production. This means that the farmer faces great difficulty in controlling production in the event of price changes. The study recommended the needed to raise the marketing efficiency of the products of the agricultural sector and to protect the local product to help the Iraqi farmer attain the ability to compete.

One of the most important indicators of production and economic activity of enterprises, which has a direct impact on financial performance is costs. The article defines the economic meaning of the concept of "costs", "production costs". Features of accounting and analytical support, organization of accounting and cost management, cost classification are considered. Classification is one of the methods of cognition and study of phenomena, processes, objects, which consists in their division into classes on the basis of certain features, properties and patterns of relations between them. The classification of costs helps to assess the costs incurred, to find possible features to increase cost efficiency and make the right decisions about their management. Classification of costs is the basis of their accounting, analysis and planning in the enterprise. Cost management takes into account such components as rationing, planning, cost accounting, deviation control and cost analysis, cost management and decision making. The problem of cost management is quite relevant for Ukrainian enterprises. Today, all businesses face the problem of applying International Financial Reporting Standards. The peculiarities of cost reflection according to International Financial Reporting Standards and National Accounting Standards (standards) are studied and analyzed. Achieving a high or sufficient level of each of the production or management processes of financial activities of economic entities must be accompanied by certain costs, the economic content of which will vary depending on the object. However, the owners (managers) of the enterprise or its individual structural unit must be clearly aware of what exactly the costs contribute to the creation and maintenance of the organization and their timely optimization. The Conceptual Basis of Preparation and Submission of Financial Statements means true presentation, prevalence of substance over form, prudence, completeness. These requirements formed the basis for the formation of accounting principles in International Standards and, accordingly, in Ukraine.

ResumoO Agronegócio é responsável por cerca de ¼ das riquezas geradas anualmente no Brasil. Dentro deste universo a cultura cafeeira é responsável por cerca de 10% do volume total das exportações deste setor. A viabilidade da produção cafeeira em qualquer escala depende fortemente da agregação de qualidade no produto final, eficiência nos processos e o controle dos custos da atividade. Os pequenos e médios cafeicultores, de maneira geral, ainda carecem de uma estrutura administrativa que lhes permita conhecer e gerencia adequadamente suas finanças, apesar de existir uma consciência da necessidade do conhecimento e gerenciamento dos custos de produção o que ainda vemos são as finanças das atividades sendo misturadas com as finanças pessoais, impossibilitando qualquer tipo de análise precisa e ainda, uma forte tendência de subjugar os custos e despesas e de inflacionar os resultados finais, mesmo que estes não estejam explícitos. Fatores como má administração do fluxo de caixa ou até mesmo menosprezo por pequenas despesas no cálculo do resultado podem ser o diferencial entre aqueles produtores que prosperam e aqueles que têm de deixar a atividade. Palavras-chave: Microanálise de Empresas Agrícolas. Modelos Econométricos e de Entrada-Saída. Investimento. Abstract Agribusiness is responsible for about ¼ of the wealth generated annually in Brazil. Within this universe, coffee culture is responsible for about 10% of the total export volume of this sector. The viability of coffee production on any scale strongly depends on the aggregation of quality in the final product, process efficiency and cost control of the activity. With the administrative modernization of the activity efficiency is gained, and with the efficiency gain opportunities for greater financial gain arise, either through cost reduction or revenue increase. Small and medium coffee farmers, in general, still lack an administrative structure that allows them to know and manage their finances properly, although there is an awareness of the need for knowledge and management of production costs. What we still see is the finances of the activity mixed with personal finances, precluding any kind of precise analysis and yet a strong tendency to subjugate costs and expenses and to inflate final results, even if they are not explicit. Factors such as poor cash flow management or even contempt for small expenses in calculating income may be the difference between those who thrive and those who have to leave the business.
