Dear Shubham,

In financial accounts two types of accounts are prepared, Trading and Profit and loss account, wherein in trading account only the cost which is directly attributable to trading is mentioned (Variable cost, labour and factory). In profit and loss account seperate office overheads is taken into consideration.

In cost records seperate trading and P&L account are not prepared, hence all the factors like variable, factory, office are included in cost of production. Cost of sales is worked after cost of production.

 

 

In financial accounting closing stock is valued at actual cost whereas in cost accounting closing stock is valued at standard cost

Agree with Jaikishan.
