Accounting has been created and developed to accomplish various desired objectives and, therefore, it is not based on fundamental laws or absolute precepts.  (Catlett)\n\nAccounting is not an exact science.  It is predominantly a social science, it's concepts are, of necessity, rooted in the value system of society in which it operates, and, moreover, these concepts are socially determined and socially expressed.  (Bernstein)\n\nAccounting is the science of which accountancy is the art.  (Eaton)

Cost accounting is the process of tracking, recording and analyzing costs associated with the products or activities of an organization. In modern accounting, costs are measured in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). GAAP reporting records historical events and assigns a monetary value to each event that has taken place. Costs are measured in units of currency by convention. Cost accounting could also be defined as a kind of management accounting that translates the Supply Chain (the series of events in the production process that, in concert, result in a product) into financial values. Managers use cost accounting to support decision making to reduce a company's costs and improve its profitability.\n\nThere are at least four approaches:\n\n    * Standard Cost Accounting\n    * Activity-based Costing\n    * Throughput Accounting\n    * Marginal Costing\n\n\nOrigins\n\nCost accounting has long been used to help managers understand the costs of running a business. Modern cost accounting originated during the industrial revolution, when the complexities of running a large scale business led to the development of systems for recording and tracking costs to help business owners and managers make decisions.\n\nIn the early industrial age, most of the costs incurred by a business were what modern accountants call "variable costs" because they varied directly with the amount of production. Money was spent on labor, raw materials, power to run a factory, etc. in direct proportion to production. Managers could simply total the variable costs for a product and use this as a rough guide for decision-making.\n\nSome costs tend to remain the same even during busy periods, unlike variable costs which rise and fall with volume of work. Over time, the importance of these "fixed costs" has become more important to managers. Examples of fixed costs include the depreciation of plant and equipment, and the cost of departments such as maintenance, tooling, production control, purchasing, quality control, storage and handling, plant supervision and engineering. In the early twentieth century, these costs were of little importance to most businesses. However, in the twenty-first century, these costs are often more important than the variable cost of a product, and allocating them to a broad range of products can lead to bad decision making. Managers must understand fixed costs in order to make decisions about products and pricing.\n\nFor example: A company produced railway coaches and had only one product. To make each coach, the company needed to purchase $60 of raw materials and components, and pay 6 laborers $40 each. Therefore, total variable cost for each coach was $300. Knowing that making a coach required spending $300, managers knew they couldn't sell below that price without losing money on each coach. Any price above $300 became a contribution to the fixed costs of the company. If the fixed costs were, say, $1000 per month for rent, insurance and owner's salary, the company could therefore sell 5 coaches per month for a total of $3000 (priced at $600 each), or 10 coaches for a total of $4500 (priced at $450 each), and make a profit of $500 in both cases.

Accounting is based on certain concepts and conventions..\n\nPrudence Concept or Concept of Conservatism\n\nThe concept of conservatism or the prudence concept asks you to be cautious...\n\nIt asks you to take into consideration all those expenses and losses of which you are aware and not to take into consideration incomes and gains unless they arise/accrue..\n\nValuing Closing Stock at cost or market price whichever is lesser.\nCreating a reserve for contingent losses like bad debts..\n\nare some examples of acts based on the prudence concept.\n\nTo generalise we can say that whenever there are alternative procedures or values, the accountant will choose the one that results in a lower profit, greater loss, a lower asset value and a higher liability value. \n\n\nhttp://www.futureaccountant.com/accounting-process/study-notes/

I was an accounting major.  I used the website assocatied with my text book.  Look in the front or back and see if there is a website.  what type of accounting problem is it, I might be able to help, although its been a few years.  IN the real world of accounting, you don't use alot of what we had to learn in school, so some of the things I had to learn the company does not use, so I may have forgotten it, but I still have my text books.
