Abstract

Knowing the manufacturing costs of products is strategic information of great importance for decision making. The present research aimed to carry out the cost calculation process and analyze the results of a domestic utensils industry. The research is classified as exploratory, with a quantitative approach. The cost method used was absorption costing. It was verified that the total costs resulted in the amount of R$ 42,689.93, and administrative expenses in the total of R$ 41,393.80, which corresponds to 86.61% of the revenue, generating a profit of R$ 13,001.83, the which represented 13.39% of the period's revenue. The two products that had the highest share in Reais in the composition of the revenue were garbage bags (31.46%), followed by squeegees (29.84%). The results made it possible to identify the costs and which products have a greater participation in the composition of the billing, as well as it was possible to analyze the mark-up used in the formation of the price.
