Sweet Cookie Company will be able to layout the stages of e ciently implementing its idea with the help of a business plan. Because cookie development is a process, the company will utilize process costing as its costing method. Aside from that, the production will entail creating identical Chocolate Chips Cookies on a considerable scale. The unit cost per cookie will be $0.792 based on the system costing estimate, and the sale price will be $1.2 per cookie. The corporation will be able to enhance sales revenue by selling many units of the product. Cost Accounting Project Introduction When it comes to turning a concept into a product, an entrepreneur must create a solid business strategy or plan. La Rocca (2020) found that devel- oping a business plan allows an entrepreneur to identify the particular actions that are necessary to make a business idea successful. It creates a platform for an investor to implement important initiatives, ranging from determining the best source of funding to selecting the Setting goals, strategic objectives, and alignment of one's business are critical for an investor. It is worth noting that only when one has a business plan will this be possible. Sweetie Cookie Company is a new business endeavor that will cater to cookie lovers' demands. In the United States, the cookie market is currently growing. Young adults and teenagers’ heightened interest and passion for the product have been crucial in the market's rise. Young adults and teenagers between the ages of 18 and 24 will be the business's target market. The location of the company and its mission statement will also be covered in the document. In addition, the paper will calculate the cost and sales per cookie using both job order and process costing methods. Furthermore, the report will analyze and contrast the two costing methodologies and recommend which is best for Sweet Cookie Company's cookie development.

The company will purposely focus on catering to customers that enjoy cookies. The company will build close relationships with its clients and o The Sweet Cookie Company will focus on manufacturing Chocolate Chip Cookies. The company's mission statement will be to provide one-of-a-kind, high-quality cookies made with fresh, natural ingredients that have a delectable taste. The cookies will be available at a reasonable price to ful who are in the moderate to upper-income classes.

The cost distinction between the two approaches is due to the conversion rate of the product. Due to the higher manufacturing cost, the selling price per cookie using process cost- ing will be $1.2. However, utilizing job costs, the sales price per cookie will be lower, as it will be $1.0. As a result of the investigation, job order costing appears to be less expensive than process costing. Part 3: Comparing and Contrasting Costing Methods The process of determining the cost of a product based on the manufacturing task is known as job costing.

It entails the creation of a product that is tailored to the needs of the customer. This method is used chie ci On the other hand, process costing is a way of calculating the production costs relying on the process that the product goes through (Stout, 2014). Until the end product is formed, the output of one stage becomes the input of the next. It's an excellent way to ated in huge quantities will cost. Furthermore, the process is appropriate for large-scale production where the product must pass through numerous stages of manufacture (Garrison, 2020). According to (Garrison, 2020), both process and job costing approaches serve the same aim in a manufacturing organization. This goal is to Furthermore, the cost Above all, in the application of overhead expenses, both costing methodologies use standard overhead rates. 3 4 3 4 5 4 5 However, process and job costing methodologies di First, the job costing approach estimates costs for spe- ci As a result, the nature of the items created di Further- more, the cost assignment for the two costing systems di The cost of production is computed for each work in job costing. This means that in this method, the job is the cost center. On the other hand, in process, costing, the production cost is determined based on every cycle. The cost of each step is divided by the number of production units after it has been calculated. This means that the process is the cost center (Garrison, 2020). Additionally, the applicability of each strategy is dependent on the type of industry. Job costing is useful in sectors that produce items based on customer orders or speci As a result, the approach is unsuitable for the production of cookies. Furthermore, process costing is appropriate for Sweet Cookie Company because it is appropriate in sectors that manufac- ture products on a large scale (Grl Above everything else, the control strategies of the two systems di When it comes to job costing, each job is unique, but when it comes to process costing, the commodities lose their identity as the production process continues. Process costing will be the optimal costing method to utilize in the manufacturing of cookies for the business, as it has proved to be more e The aspect of cookie manufacturing is that it is a continuous process. The manufacturing process involves various steps, including preparing the dough, molding it, baking the cookies, bling, and packing the end product (Grl As a result, process costing is the best approach to use at the Sweet Cookies Company. Notably, the company concentrates on producing signi Furthermore, process costing is the most appropriate method for determining the unit cost in the cookie production process because the cookies produced are similar. Process costing is an approach that stimulates large-scale pro- duction of a product; thus it's ideal in this scenario (Walther & Skousen, 2009). Part IV: Impact of Increase and Decrease in Sales With a rise in the number of units sold, a product's income increases. The income of the business will increase as the quantity of cookies sold increases in this business plan. Because all cookies are the same price, selling one extra cookie boosts the company's sales revenue (Stout, 2014). Reducing the amount of cookies sold, on the other hand, will result in lower sales revenue. In other words, a product's total revenue is relative to the quantity of units sold. Conclu- sions and Recommendations Sweet Cookie Company is dedicated to creating one-of-a-kind, high-quality, and delectable chocolate chip cookies that appeal to the target market's tastes and preferences. The company will concentrate on the development of chocolate chip cookies, which is its only product. As a result, the process costing approach will be applicable in this cookie production. The process is the most suitable for mass production of similar products on a wide scale. The analysis has clearly shown that the unit cost of the cookie is higher when using process costing than when using job costing. Job costing, on the other hand, is ine follows processes. As a result, the company should use process costing to estimate the product's cost and sell it at a price that allows the company to break during the The business will amass pro Selling more units of the product will contribute to the company's sales revenue growth. As a result, the company should implement robust product advertising in order to grow market share, which will result in higher sales revenues. It's also how the business will get a good return on its investment. References Garrison, R. (2020). Managerial accounting. Mcgraw-hill US Higher Ed. Grl (2020). Costing Methods.
