Evaluasi Perhitungan Harga Pokok Penjualan Laundry di Perusahaan Laundry Skala Besar

Abstract

This research aims to find out the calculation formula of the laundry Cost of Sales (COS) that PT.X applied and evaluate it using the activity-based costing (ABC) method. The object of this research is a large-scale laundry company that provides quality laundry services and free delivery to various clients in the Greater Jakarta area (Jabodetabek). The method used in this research is qualitative with a case study approach. The research results show that the current COS calculation per kg of hotel laundry is 40,43% greater (overcosting) than the ABC method. Meanwhile, COS per kg of guest & uniform laundry is 20,74% smaller (undercosting) than the ABC method. Other results show that the gross profit margin for both laundries is 5,64% greater if PT.X uses the ABC method. The large number of indirect costs and there are the differences in machine use and manual handling each of laundry indicate that activity-based costing needs to be considered by company management to obtain more appropriate cost product information.
