working activities in fast and accurate manner.
 This accounting practice is also beneficial for staff members of the company as they

helps them to work for obtaining firm's goals and objectives.
Types of accounting system
Cost accounting system- This accounting system is beneficial for companies to evaluate
estimated product costs with the assistance of using profitability analysis, valuation and cost
control approach. Along with this, cost accounting system is acquired by manufactures thus to
keep track of production activities by using a perpetual inventory system. It helps to determine
flow of inventory in business organisation in different stages of production. In context of
Pavestone, cost accounting system aids to estimate the cost of their products for conducting
profitability analysis, inventory valuation and cost control. There are different types of cost
accounting methods, such as – job order costing, process costing, activity based costing system
etc.
Inventory management system – This management accounting system helps to keep
track of goods by evaluating entire supply chain in which a business operates. It covers all
aspects from manufacturing to retail, movements of stock one place to another and warehousing
to shipping. It allows to make better decisions and investments. Two main tools of inventory

management system are – Just in time approach and EOQ (economic order quantity.
Furthermore, inventory management system is a combination of technology and processes which
oversee in monitoring and maintenance of stock of the company.
Job costing approach – The system is tend towards accumulating information about
costs linked with production or service job. This kind of information is needed to submit in cost
reimbursement contract. In addition to this, job costing system is an excellent tool which tracks
specific costs required to perform a job and examine them whether or not these costs can be
reduced later (Christopher, 2016). The approach provides information regarding following
accounting activities – materials, labour and overhead.
Price optimisation system- It is an activity in which companies determine how to
maximise prices of products to which consumers are willing to pay. While optimising prices, it
is essential to find out a perfect balance between profit and value cause values of products and
services are changing at fast pace. Price optimisation system has acquired by Pavestone in order
to select an effective price of its products which also covers entire production cost and provide
huge financial benefits to company.
P2 Different methods used for management accounting
In context of small business organisations, management accounting system allows
companies to recognise their existing financial position and take corporative decisions
accordingly. Management accounting deals with the future and is futuristic in approach, while it
focuses on forecasting and decision-making. It is prime obligation of top management to disclose
financial records among employees as they work to obtain firm's goals and objectives.
Management accounting also prepare and deliver information to managers of Pavestone as they
can take short term or daily basis business decisions. In addition to this, management accountants
are placed to render information which enable to meet changing needs of managerial functions
(Ding, Dekker and Groot, 2013). This succession supports company to review the accounting
information which facilitate planning process.
There are several types of management accounting systems which allows management of
Pavestone to track necessary information about company. Following is defined various methods
of management accounting which are stated as under -
Performance reporting system : It is one of the important method of management
accounting which linked with project communication management. Performance reporting

system entails with collecting and disseminating schemes, data, demonstration of future growth,
optimal utilisation of available resources and prepare an ongoing project plan. An annual
performance report will help Pavestone to identify performance of each employee. It aids top
management to evaluate whether or not staff members are working in right direction for a given
project. It is used to compilation of working activities thus to obtain strategic objectives in a
given time period.
Inventory management report: - It is based upon measuring entire supervision of non-
capitalised inventory and products. Inventory management report is made to control upon stocks
which are undertaken by companies. The report is prepared in the end of financial year and
disclose opening and closing account balance of the company. In other words, it often provides a
brief description about inventory account or supply of products in a same time period which
makes easier to understand for managers to take future business decisions (Edwards, 2013).
Furthermore, different tools or techniques are taken into account for valuing stock, such as –
EOQ, Inventory turnover ratio and ABC costing. In Pavestore, inventory management report will
ensure availability of materials in sufficient amount whensoever it is needed, thus to produce in
an effective and efficient manner.
Account receivable report: The report has made upon periodic basis and classified
overall accounting report of the company as per the range of outstanding invoices. Account
receivable reports aids to determine overall financial position of Pavestone thus to make

TASK 2
P3 Calculate costs by using appropriate techniques of cost analysis
Costs refer with value of amount which is being paid by an individual for getting
something. While production, managers are required a wide range of raw materials and other
inputs from several suppliers in order to produce new and innovative products. Costs is one of
the key factor to perform all business functions or operations in systematic manner. In Pavestone,
cost includes all necessary amount in order to get an asset in place and ready for use. For
example, the cost of an item in inventory also includes the item's freight-in cost. Along with this,
in accounting terms costs consists with monetary value of expenditures for equipments, inputs,

labour, products, supplies etc. Costs is an amount which recorded as an expense in financial
statements (Henri, Boiral and Roy, 2016).
There is given different costing methods which are taken into consideration for calculating net
profits or revenues of a business association. Absorption costing – It is a managerial accounting method of expensing which involved
all costs relate with production of a specific product. Absorption costing contains fixed
and variable, both costs which an absorptional rate. In addition to this, the method ensure
that all incurred costs must be recovered through selling price of goods and services.
Absorption costing comprises fixed and variable costs for the motive of effective
valuation which contributes in net profit of per unit.
 Marginal Costing – It implies additional costs which is involved in producing an extra
unit in manufacturing process that is reckoned through total variable costs against one
unit. Marginal costing help managers to take various decisions, i.e. discontinuing of
products or services, replacement of machines etc. It will also aids to determine suitable
level of activity via break even analysis which put an impact raising or diminishing
output level on firm's overall profit (Hillier, Grinblatt and Titman, 2011).
Calculation of net profit by using marginal costing method:
Particulars Amount
Sales revenue = (selling price * no. of goods sold = 55 * 600) 33000
Marginal Cost of goods sold: 9600
Production = (units produced * marginal cost per unit = 800 * 16) 12800
closing stock = (closing stock units * marginal cost per unit = 200 *
16) 3200
Contribution 23400
Fixed cost ( 3200 + 1200 + 1500 ) 5900
Net profit 17500
Computation of net income by using absorption costing method:
Particulars Amount
Sales = (selling price * no. of units sold = 55 * 600) 33000
Cost of goods sold = (total expenses per unit * actual sales = 23.375 * 600) 14025
Gross profit 18975
Selling & Administrative expenses = (variable sales overhead * actual sales +
selling and administrative cost = 1 * 600 + 2700) 3300

Net profit/ operating income 15675
Break even analysis – It allows company to find out what is required to be sold in order
to cover production or operational cost. Break even analysis is a stage where there is a situation
of no profit and no loss; it is based on fixed cost of products.
A. Total number of product sold
Sales per unit 40
Variable costs VC = DM + DL 28
Contribution 12
Fixed costs 6000
BEP in units 500
B. Calculation of breakeven point in accordance to sales revenue
Sales per unit 40
Variable costs VC = DM + DL 28
Contribution 12
Fixed costs 6000
Profit volume ratio PVR = Contribution / sales * 100 30.00%
BEP in sales 20000
C. Calculation for getting desire profit of 10,000
Profit 10000
Fixed costs 6000
Contribution 16000
Contribution per unit 12
Sales 1333.33
D. The margin of safety, if 800 products are sold
Actual sales in units 800
Break even sales in units 500
Margin of safety 37.5

Margin of Safety – It represents difference between actual sales and BEP sale. Margin of
safety implies to reduction of sales which occurs before getting break even point. It also define
differentiation between market and internal value of products. Here, Margin of safety is 37.5.
M2 Management accounting techniques and financial reporting documents
Different kinds of accounting techniques are mention below which are used through
Pavestone organisation:
Marginal costing- It refers to decrease and increase in total manufacturing cost rune for
make the additional unit of products (Schäffer, 2013). Under this, output costs consists labour,
variable overheads and direct material.
Standard costing- These are used as the target costs and developed from analysis of
historical data.
Historical costing- It refers to original asset cost that is recorded in accounting
transaction of an organisation.
D2 Financial reports that accurately apply and interpret data
On the basis of calculation, it has been clear that method of marginal costing will more
effective as comparison to the absorption costing. At the time of calculate net profit through
marginal costing, result was £17500 and result of absorption costing method was £15675.
Difference among both method profit is £9600 because of modifications in the variable cost
(Talha, Raja and Seetharaman, 2017).
TASK 3
P4 Advantages and disadvantages of different types of planning tools

to complexities arise in forecasting the budgeting. There are various kinds of planning tools
which are used in budgetary control mention below:
Contingency tool- It is use through Pavestone company to prepare any kind of possible
events which can occur in future. It is executed through company in order to identify the future
risk that have some possibility to be occur (Salehi, Rostami and Mogadam, 2013). This planning

external information and data of
company that aid in decision making.
 There are different complexities are
faced by company at the time of
executing the scenario planning tool at
workplace.
 In context to implement this tool, there
is more time and cost required. But
Pavaestone is small size company so it
has minimum cost for hire staff
members for specific analysis.
M3 Use of different planning tools and application for preparing and forecasting budgets

At the time of conduct business operations and any activities, companies face the
financial problems. Without finance, company can not conduct its business activities in
significant manner and also can not attain the set aims and goals with in particular period of time.
Under this, facing the financial issues is state where the funds related issues impact on
performance level of business (Stergiou, Ashraf and Uddin, 2013). It develops negative impact
on productivity as well as reputation of Pavestone company. In this, financial problems are given
below as above:
Lack of effective knowledge to account handler- The accounts department does not
have proper knowledge, so it will impact on information as well as accounts which are
mentioned under it. In context to this, there is improper information of accounting statements.
So, it is necessary for company to give training to staff members so that they can deal with these
kinds of issues.
Improper money management system- IT is a min financial issue that company is
facing more. If in case, the money management system will not be proper then in this case,
Pavestone company will not have the proper information about the funds (Suomala, Lyly-
Yrjänäinen and Lukka, 2014). From this, management will unable to prepare the budget in an
effective way.
Additional expenses on promotions- In order to conduct the promotional campaigns or
activities, Pavestone company spend more money. The promotions needs more amount of money
as well as develop the financial problems in company. It is beneficial for company to spend the

In addition to overcome from the financial issues, there are some tools used by Pavestone
company given below:
KPI (Key Performance Indicator)- It is a better tool to measure the performance. It is
helpful in examine success of company. It is set of the quantifiable measures which an
organisation used to compare its performance level in context to meeting with operational and
strategic aims (Talha, Raja and Seetharaman, 2017). The focus of Key Performance Indicator on
process of business as well as functions that the top management sees as necessary for examining
the progress of company towards meet performance targets and also strategic objectives. There
are two different kinds of Key Performance Indicators mention below as above:
Lagging Indicators- This kind of key performance indicator used through company to
determine failure and also success of project. Lagging indicators help is to resolve the issue of
lack of effective knowledge to account handler as firm will be able to find out success and failure
of the project.
Leading Indicators- These are helpful for management of Pavestone to predict necessary
changes in an economy. In addition to this, they are used to examine outcomes of activity. Thus,
having great knowledge about changes in economy, issue of unexpected expenses will be easily
resolved which reduces production cost of the company.
