Determining Farm Product Cost as a Component of the Enterprise’s Economic Stability

Abstract

The agro-industrial complex carries out an important task of providing the population with food products. Therefore, its economic growth is required for the society to live a normal life. The rightly calculated cost of a product, without which the enterprise will perform at a loss, is one of the economic aspects of the agricultural enterprise growth. Based on four analyzed approaches to allocating indirect production costs (sales costs, hard costs, marginal income, labor inputs), we have chosen the most optimal one in terms of the fair product cost setting. The analysis was carried out in the Zhovten LLC (Stanychno- Lugansk District). It was carried out at the industry- based and product-based levels. We have calculated the profitability index and allocated an approach for the most optimal product cost calculation.
