ABSTRACT

The topic which is on "The use of cost Accounting information in price determination" deals with the cost informat/on as required by the management of manufacturing firms in determining the price of their product. The main problem that led to this research study was to examine whether there is a significant difference in companies profitability when a part/cu/ar pricing method while the main objective of the research was to identify whether the application of a paiticular pridng method by selected manufacturing firms results to a siqnificant difference in their various profita blilty. Therefore, it is very necessary that an efficient and effective costing system is used in determining and assigning price to firm's products. In the course of the study, data were gathered from related literatures as well as from interviews and discussion. While the major source of data collection was secondary data. T - Test was used in analyzing the data and testing the hypotheses formulated. The study revealed that, the adoption of a uniform pridng method by the selected manufacturing firms does not result to a si'nificant difference in their profitability, which supports the first hypothesis that stated that "there is no si'nificant difference in the profitability of companies based on cost plus prfdng method" as well as the second hypothesis that stated that "there is no siqnificant difference in the profitability of companies based on absorption costing method" This however led to the acceptance of the two null hypotheses. From the findings, it was recommended that; • Manufacturing companies should always adopt a un/form pricing method at a particular period of time to ensure that there is no si'nificant difference in their profitability. • Manufacturing firms should always adopt a pricing method that can be able to state their actual profits at a particular period of time.
