1.1 Introduction about Project:
Project was undertaken in Koppal Green Power Ltd. Which is a financial service provider
company, in a span of six weeks of project, it provided good platform for me to experience the
actual working of an organization which help me to understand the application of knowledge I
gained through my classroom teaching. It also provides me a good exposure of interacting
resources persons like my manager which help me to understand how he is able to manage all his
responsibilities with very accuracy and on time. This was a period of knowledge addition for me
to understand the functioning of banks, its dealing and operations as well as the various
aspects relating to financial sector in the economy. I was given responsibility to analyze the
financial performance of the bank. The internship set a strong platform for me as in my
career ahead I would be able to take away the experience of the work and knowledge I
acquired to deliver successfully in whatever roles assigned and responsibility is entrusted on
me in future

1.2 Industry Profile in India:
Electricity is a distinguished boon to the Human Society from the Stone Age to current. In IT
Era, light plays a vital role in all aspects. As the civilization developed, many changes have taken
place. Even in the area of power, there are remarkable changes. Power is the most important
infrastructure input for the development and growth of economy of the country. With the
globalization and liberalization of the Indian economy, the potential for power sector growth has
substantially improved. The Government of India and its liberalized policy is allowing private
sectors to play a significant role in the power sector. Bharataratna Sir M.Vishweshwaraya the
genius who produced electricity by harnessing the Hydro potential, the engineer statesman who
fashioned the blue print for industrialization. The greatest Visionary and one of the makers of
modern India is of course the inspiration in the pursuit of excellence.
Mainly, Power can be generated through water, that is called Hydroelectricity, but due to the lack
of water resources, human Beings are using innovative new ideas to generate the power, like
using sunlight to generate power is called Solar Energy, using wind to generate power is called
Wind Energy, Using Cow dung to generate power is called Goober Power Energy and other
methods. Using wastage from Environment like, Rice Husk, Beggars’, Scrap of Plywood, Cotton
stalk, etc. to generate Power is called “Bio-Mass Power”.
Few decades before biomass power came into picture. In 1982 infrastructure of this sector has
seen a vast development in converting wooden logs into electricity generation. This technique of
conversion of bio degradable resources into useful one was influenced in California two due to
rapid climatically change the natural resources are getting depleted resulting in declination of
3
saw-mills which put a big obstacle in contribution of solid waste disposal to a society. Now a
days developed cities generates a whole lot of waste along with increment in deforestation
In Karnataka More Than 60 Bio-mass Power generating plants are there and almost all plants
are adopting the same system of operation.
While considering the global energy of imbalance. Roughly 1.7 billion people are living without
access to the electricity; and 2.3 billion rely on the due to no access to the other fuels. In African
countries the per capital electricity is consumed is very low as 50 kilowatt-hours / year. It
indicates that 6 watt of power is required is less than a normal bulb for everyone. To notice it the
countries which have developed make an economic cooperation and development organization.
An average, consumed electricity for the year as per capital is 8600 KW/H i.e. roughly 160 times
higher.

On the other side, hydro plants are leading to soil erosion and erosion, loss of forest areas,
wildlife habitat and diversity of species and most important are the displacement of the people.
The Indian government has made decisions to develop the countries renewable energy source.
India has made new contribution for both solar photovoltaic and solar thermal through
generation of power. In order to develop solar thermal technology within India, government has
allotted 35 Mega Watt solar thermal power plant in rajasthan and also increasing the private
sectors by providing the financial status from ministry.
The primary objective of demonstration project is to build through hands on design experience
and management of projects and operation under actual field conditions. In the field of energy
sector the various players such as operation contractors, local industries and private project
construction, central electricity authority, rajasthan energy development agency and rajasthan
state electricity board and others will help to increase the solar power in india
Government support:-
Indian government has estimated the potential of 50,000 Mega Watt of capacity of power can be
produced from new and the renewable energy source but due to high cost incurred in the past
these are not tapped as conventional. But nevertheless, development of the alternate energy has
been part of the India’s strategy for expanding the energy supply and meeting the decentralized
energy needs in the non-urban sector. This program is considered as one of the largest program
among developed program, considered one of the largest among the different developing
countries, is administered through the Indian ministry of non-conventional energy source and the
energy development agencies of the various States, and the Indian renewable energy
development agency Ltd.
Throughout the 1990's, there are several factors due to India's private sector interest invarious
renewable energy:
(i) In 1991 private sector participation i.e. India opened the power sector
(ii) For renewable energy system tax incentives are offered to developers
5
(iii) Awareness about the environment been heightened.
Conventional forms of renewable energy are environmental benefits and are short-gestation
period for alternative ways of energy development scheme. By grabbing the private sector
participation, in July 1993 Indian government reconsidered its priorities by giving the
technologies if renewable energy for the generation of power. Up to now wind farm capacity of
power generated is 1,500 Mega Watt and also small hydro installed capacity of 1,423 Mega
Watt. In the year 1995energy supply has grown from 0.4% to 34% by 2001.

CONCEPTUAL BACKGROUND AND LITERATURE
REVIEW

2.1 Conceptual Background
What is Cost Accounting?
It is the process of classifying, recording & suitable allocation of expenditure for the dedication
of the prices of merchandise/offerings, & for the presentation of suitability organized statistics
for the cause of control & steerage of management. It consists of the ascertainment of the cost of
every order, task settlement, system, service or unit as can be suitable and additionally offers
with the cost of manufacturing, promoting & distribution.
Why Cost Accounting developed?
Cost book-keeping is a division of accounting & it advanced for the reason that of the restrictions
of financial accounting. Financial accounting by and large concerned with the practice of profit
& loss account and balance sheet indicates that the financial position of the commercial
enterprise, however, details regarding operating efficiency of these divisions are lacking. Due to
the improvement of cost accounting, it’s beneficial for the management to evaluate the working
performance and to manual management decisions with the help of facts provided by the
financial accounting.
Advantages of Cost Accounting:
It facilitates in growing profits
Cost accounting helpful to clients.
Profitable and unprofitable information are disclosed.
It gives statistics upon which estimates and tenders are based totally.
The accurate root of a decline or an raise in earnings or slaughter.
20
Cost Control:
According to management cost control is a search for best and completing each operation in
more economical ways. Cost control helps in prevention of wastage with in the environment.

applied.
Inventory Control:
Stock control entails the procurement, care, and dispatch of materials. In line with a walker,
inventory isn't always simply a material management/warehouse problem. The shopping,
receiving, engineering, manufacturing and accounting departments all contribute to the accuracy
of the stock techniques and data.
There are 3 forms of stock which might be the subject to managers:
Raw-material
Semi-completed items
Finished goods
Inventory control is the supervision of delivery, storage, and accessibility of items so that it will
ensure an ok deliver without immoderate/over deliver.
Techniques of inventory control:
1. Level Setting.
2. EOQ.
3. ABC Analysis.
Level Setting:
Re-order level.
Re-order level is also known as ordering level or ordering limit or ordering point. Point at which
the order for the supply of materials should made. This level is somewhere fixed between
minimum level and maximum level. Re-order level mainly depends on order lead time and
maximum rate of consumption. Store keeper will initiate purchase requisition when the level is
reached.
Maximum level.
Maximum level is also called as maximum stock or maximum limit. Maximum level is the level
above which the stock should never reach. Maximum level function is to avoid unnecessary
blocking up of capital in inventories, extra overheads, obsolescence of materials etc.
Minimum level.
23
Minimum level represents lowest quantity of the particular materials below which fall in stock
should not be allowed. This level is to be maintained every time so that the production is not held
up due to the shortage of any material.
Danger level.
A degree in which ordinary problems of material are stopped and the issues are made most
effective below unique commands. The acquisition person will make unique preparations to get
substances which attain at the danger degree in order that the production might not jump in
before because of the scarcity of materials.
EOQ:
The quantity of the material to be ordered only one time is referred to as EOQ. This quantity is
fixed in there sort of way as to the limit the cost of carrying and ordering the stock.
ABC Analysis:
In order to exercise the effective control over the materials, A.B.C method is of immense use.
Under which materials are classified into three different categories in accordance with those
respected values. Group A contains costly items which are 10-20% of the total items but account
for almost 50% of total value of the stores. Group B consists of 20-30% of the store items but
account for 30% of value of the store and group C consists of 70-80% of the items about 20% of
total value.
Labor Control:
Introduction:
Tough work is the second one important detail of cost and for standard cost control. Labor is the
most perishable commodity and such it should be efficaciously applied. Exertions cannot be
recouped and it’s certain to increase the value of manufacturing.
Control over Labor Cost:
labor price constitutes a prime portion of the whole cost of producing and it is able to be
immoderate due to excessive turnover, idle time, and inefficiency of hard paintings, greater
wastage of material with the resource of labor and absence of supervision. The inefficiency of
24
hard work is likewise a cause for excessive material and overhead price. Therefore, financial
utilization of exertions is a want of the present day industry to reduce the fee for producing the
products manufactured/carrier rendered.
Overhead control:
Overhead value manage is used by Small-enterprise owners to reveal, distribute and decrease
their overheads. An expense that cannot be with no trouble identified with a selected product or
pastime is called as overhead. Not like material and production exertions, overhead is indirect
and invisible part of generating product and carrier. Overhead cost can include administrative
and higher prices, delivery charges, subcontractors, utilities, office supplies, depreciation, and
marketing. And at the same time as some of these costs appear every day, it does now not mean
they're fundamental.
The control of overhead charges is mainly complicated. But, by way of determining direct labor
and material prices it becomes simpler consequently, managers generally tend to awareness on
those charges. The successful control of overhead charges desires ordinary attention. A few
managers do now not agree with overhead costs when formulating pricing strategies. This can
bring about some products or activities not fully recovering their overhead prices. In long time
duration, except different products are offsetting this insufficiency, this form of pricing method
will not provide profits to offer a go back to the capital, control, and risk involved. It's far
necessary to recognize the idea of overhead expenses while considering adjustments in the
production method.
It may be understood that overhead cost are prices which can't be directly diagnosed with a
product or production pastime. Overhead prices can be either constant or variable. A few
examples of constant manufacturing facility overhead prices consist of depreciation, interest,
hire, insurance, taxes, marketing, maintenance, and the manager's profits. Variable overhead fees
may encompass some classes of materials, utilities, communique expenses, receiving fees and
miscellaneous exertions prices. For the small enterprise operation, most overhead costs have a
tendency to be constant.
There are various strategies to decrease overhead expenses. Those include:
1. Decreasing running capital
2. Implementing overall fine management
25
3. Controlling sales expenses
4. Reading preservation expenses
5. Decreasing transportation charges
Control of Capital Expenditure:
Techniques to exercise control over Capital Expenditure
The universal decided on proposals may be obsolescence due to development in generation
inside the quick run. Therefore, funding made in constant property cannot be recovered very
easily despite the fact that the task is carried out after thinking about profitability. In other
phrases, the heavy investment in constant property affects the profitability of the firm in the long
run i.e. before stop of the financial existence of the venture. As a result, a cost accountant can
manage the capital expenditure with the assist of the following techniques.
1. Continuous look for new techniques and merchandise: A control can discover new
techniques, method, and merchandise by trial and error approach or thru studies and
development technique. In that case, the investment in constant property won't be affected the
long-term profitability to a degree.
2. Deliberate improvement: A valid organizational structure has to be established for reading,
screening and implementing numerous capital expenditure proposals. If so, there may be a
possibility of planned development of all of the departments of the firm thru capital budgeting.
3. Capital Budgeting: An anticipated resources and makes use of finances may be organized in
a declaration form. In that case, how a great deal amounts received and used for a selected
duration is thought to the control. In this way, capital expenditure managed through capital
budgeting. Consequently, capital budgeting needs to be perpetually followed the company.
4. Use of Rational methods of evaluation: The chosen evaluation technique should be the
rational one. It considers enter and output in conjunction with non-financial subjects also. The be
resources of the employer are well applied for wealth maximization. It is feasible most effective
via using of rational approach for undertaking assessment.
5. Progress record: A proper progress document ought to be maintained to demonstrate the
development made via a capital expenditure. A capital assignment sheet ought to be maintained
for each challenge for this purpose. The predicted expenditure and real expenditure have to be as
compared and variances have to be collected.

RESEARCH DESIGN
32
Meaning of Research Design:
Research design is the blue print for the collection, measurement and analysis of data. It is the
map developed to guide the research. It is the part of the planning stage of research. A research
design is a set of methods and procedures used in the collecting and analyzing the measures of
the specified variables in the research problem of research.
The main problem of the company is increasing cost of production. If they are not using effective
cost techniques then it will become a huge problem for the company. In this project I tried to
investigate problems and practices associated with cost analysis of KOPPAL GREEN POWER
LIMITED. In this organization so many studies are grown on but only few has studied about
cost control techniques. So I tried to fill this gap of study beyond my best level.
The significance of cost control within a company cannot be overstated. Businesses are dropping
money, want to growth profits or should emerge as more competitive to cut charges in an effort
to prevail. Knowing a way to put into effective cost manage techniques can be the figuring out
component inside the survival of a commercial enterprise. When a company desires to generate
extra money as short as feasible, management will decide which expenses might be most
efficaciously controlled. If the control is wanted speedy, costs are cut first which might be
usually the ones which might be constant or immediately tied to production. It isn't always an
awesome concept to extensively control expenses that produce the agency service or product
without cautious evaluation. If the enterprise understands the significance of cost manages as a
tool to increase profitability, the company will have a much better hazard of ultimate worthwhile
regardless of what degree of the monetary cycle is happening. That is due to the fact cost control
33
is a powerful tool that may be attentive to an organization’s want. Coping with expenses is just
as critical as dealing with revenue. There for turn is a need to study the Cost Control and Cost
Control Techniques of Material Management adopted in the organization.
To understand cost control techniques adopted by the koppal green power plant.
To know the impact of cost control on productivity of the organization.
To analyses the material management system adopted in the organization.
To give the suggestions on the management of cost and its control.
This study helps in identifying, classifying and ascertaining cost overheads, which in turn
helps the management in fixing the selling price effectively and efficiently.
The scope of this study is to cover the effect of cost control techniques.
The areas of study are materials, labor, fixed overheads and sales.
The study will not cover budgeting or budgetary control techniques.
3.5 Research Methodology:
Descriptive type of research is adopted. For the preparation of this report, essential data has been
collected from the secondary source i.e., company website, periodicals, magazines, journals, and
financial statement of the company.
The project mainly focuses on analysis of Cost Control and Cost Control Techniques of Material
Management. Trend analysis method has been chosen for the study purpose. The study implies
that, calculating the material cost required for period of one year. working of existing costing
system was clearly observed and additional data was collected. These data are collected through
informal interviews and observations. Data collected was analyzed and interpreted. Charts,
Tables, Graphs were used for analysis and interpretation.

Cost control cannot lessen the managerial feature to a method. It's far only a managerial
control.
The use of value can be to the restrained use of sources. Expenses are often taken as
limits.
Trouble to attain the crucial corners of the records due to corporation’s confidentiality.

Interpretation:
Prime Cost:
In the base year the prime cost is 100% i.e. 59,346.37, but in the next consecutive year the
prime cost is increased by 105.74% i.e. 62,750.47 and next following year it is very clear that
the decrease in prime cost is 95.23% i.e. 56,513.67 and this is due to the increase in the
effective use of the raw-material.
40
Factory Cost:
In base year the factory cost is 100% i.e. 58,505.42, but in the next consecutive year the factory
cost is increased by 107.05% due to increase in the prime cost during 2015-16 and the
following year it is very clear that the decrease in the factory cost is 98.88% i.e. 57,852.28 and
this is due to variation in prime cost.
Net Sales:
In the base year the net sales is 100% i.e. 66,191.42 but in the next consecutive year the net sales
is increased by 106.43% i.e. 70,450.39 due to decrease in the material consumed in 2015-16 and
the following year it is very clear that the increase in net sales is 104.46% i.e. 69,143.57 and this
is due to reduction in the cost of overhead and cost of sales also decrease.
Margin Profit:
In the base year the margin profit is 100% i.e. 5,361.22 but in the next consecutive year the
margin profit is decreased by 83.76% i.e. 4,490.50 due to decrease in sales during 2015-16 and
the following year it is very clear that the increase in margin profit is 164.64% i.e. 8,826.91 and
this is due to increase in sales.

CHAPTER-5
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSION AND
SUGGESTION
57
5.1 Findings:
In my study of cost control techniques at KGPL. I came to find the following information
KGPL being Pvt. Ltd sector is continuously making profits over the year.
KGPL supply 6megawatt of power to KPTCL.
KGPL procures its required raw material from within and outside Karnataka.
The company is paying salaries to employees a monthly basis. They maintain proper
attendance system and records and wages are paid on the basis of attendance records.
The company has introduced voluntary retirement scheme and recruiting new employees
with good skills.
The company's raw material consumption and expenditure on overhead and labour are
increased.
Direct labour has increased year by year. Compared to base year because the labour
recruited every year production.
5.2 Conclusion:
This study helps to express clear opinion about the organization and it help the
management to hear the employee’s opinion & bring them in to action. So it is necessary to
study the organization” on whole, which intends to improve the organizational effectiveness. I
have learned a lot about the techniques to control the cost in varies aspect in material
management so that in order controls the cost of material for the financial growth of the
company.
58
5.3 Suggestions:
It is better to improved awareness in the minds of employee through systematic training.
Company should provide better welfare facilities to the employee’s like Canteen, Dust
The factory should make the arrangement of payments to the Middlemen at a proper
time.
The management should take care towards increasing the direct cost and indirect cost
A proper implication of cost control would lead to increase financial status of KGPL
Company should practice new technology methods to save Time, Money, and
Manpower.
Other biomass utilization projects are using animal wastes which are relatively small
and limited.

Annexure:-
A cost sheet is a report on which is accumulated all of the costs associated with a product or
production job. A cost sheet is used to compile the margin earned on a product or job, and
can form the basis for the setting of prices on similar products in the future. It can also be
used as the basis for a variety of cost control measures. Despite the name, a cost sheet can
be compiled and viewed on a computer screen, as well as being manually developed on
paper. The costs listed on the report are usually aggregated into the following categories:
Direct Material
Direct Labor
Allocated Factory Overhead.
