I. OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:
a. Apply the rules of production in your enterprise; and
b. Compute the cost and price of the product or service of your chosen business.
B. Analysis
What can you say about our activity? Are you familiar with it?
Do you have any idea how much is the cost and price of the product or service you’ve chosen?
Do you know how to compute the cost and price of a product or service?
C. Abstraction
1. What will be your decision, when the TR (INCOME) of your business is equal to TC
(EXPENSES)?
EXAMPLE: TR = TC
2,000 = 2000
DECISION: There is a need to maintain your production.
2. What will you do when the TR of your enterprise is less than to the TC?
EXAMPLE: TR = TC
5,000 = 8,000
DECISION: The production needs to stop.
3. What action do you need to take if you have greater TR than your TC?
EXAMPLE: TR = TC
10,000 = 7,000
DECISION: You have to produce more
After completing your list, estimate for the DIRECT COST and INDIRECT COST your business is
facing. These are the two types of costs. The direct cost refers to the item which becomes part of the
products or services composing material cost, wages and benefits. The indirect costs are referring to those
items needed in running a business and are better known as overhead expenses. These are the expenses
on building, machines, maintenance, salaries, office costs, selling cost and financial cost.
The entrepreneur has many other expenses compared to the direct cost. The following is an
example of how to estimate or compute for the indirect cost:
P10,000.00
Insurance of machines/stocks 5,000.00
Maintenance of machines 20,000.00
Power and electricity 24,000.00
Rent of building 25,000.00
Salaries/Wages 60,000.00
Selling cost (transportation/representation) 20,000.00
Telephone 5,000.00
TOTAL INDIRECT COST+20 percent P169,000.00
of 169,000.00 for taxes, etc. + 33,800.00
TOTAL INDIRECT COSTS FOR THE YEAR P202,800.00
If one product is developed by an entrepreneur for the computation of the indirect cost, the indirect
cost is simply the indirect costs divided by the calculated number of wood benches to be manufactured
during the year.
Let us say that the entrepreneur targets for 1,500 wood benches:
P202,800.00 = P135.20
1,500
The entrepreneur’s computation of the wood bench is based on 1,500 sales units for a year. If there
will be no increase in indirect costs, then the indirect cost will be:
P772, 800 = P 515.20
1,500
The rules of production are helpful to the entrepreneurs. These will guide him to know what and how
to decide on his production. It tells when they need to produce more, when to stop production or when to
maintain the production. Likewise, it is good for all the business enterprises to know the computation of
their production to avoid failure of business operations.
D. Application
The students are grouped into 4. Each group performs the activity given.
I. Given the following nominal values of revenues and costs, decide whether you need to produce more,
stop your production or maintain production of goods or services. Draw an upward (↑) arrow if your answer
is to produce more; downward arrow (↓) when you need to stop and draw a smiley face (☺) when your
decision is to maintain production.
