Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an impassioned defense of a new method for determining the cost of production in manufacturing. In the early 20th century, the author argues, American businesses were plagued by inaccurate and inconsistent cost accounting systems, leading to a widespread lack of understanding about the true expenses involved in making and selling products. The author criticizes traditional cost accounting approaches, particularly the use of ââ Å"overhead expenses,ââ  which he describes as a catch-all for items that accountants donââ â¢t know how to charge properly. He champions a new method, called ââ Å"Cost Engineering,ââ  which relies on detailed analysis and the accurate allocation of expenses to specific production processes. The author provides a clear and persuasive case for the use of Cost Engineering, highlighting its ability to eliminate guesswork and uncertainty from pricing decisions. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of business practices and the struggle to make cost accounting a more scientific discipline.
