Analysis of Production Cost Calculation Using the Full Costing Method at the Monto Donut MSME in South Bengkulu

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the calculation of the cost of goods manufactured (COGM) using the full costing method at the MSME Tari Donat Montog in South Bengkulu. The research is motivated by the importance of applying an appropriate cost calculation method so that MSME owners can determine accurate and competitive selling prices. The study employs a descriptive quantitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and interviews conducted in 2024. The results show that the calculation using the full costing method produces a higher total cost compared to the conventional calculation used by the MSME, amounting to Rp156,131,000 with a unit cost of Rp1,881, while the MSME’s own calculation was only Rp1,617 per unit. This indicates that the full costing method provides a more comprehensive picture of production costs, as it includes all cost components, both fixed and variable. Therefore, the application of the full costing method is recommended for MSMEs to help determine appropriate selling prices and improve operational efficiency and profitability.
