Training expenses

Training is an essential input for industrial workers. Training
expenses in fact includes wages of workers, costs incurred in running training department,
loss arising from the initial lower production, extra spoilage etc. Training expenses of
factory workers are treated as part of the cost of production. The training expenses of
office; sales or distribution workers should be treated as office; sales or distribution
overhead as the case may be. These expenses can be spread over various departments
of the concern on the basis of the number of workers on roll.
Training expenses would be abnormally high in the case of high labour turnover such
expenses should be excluded from costs and charged to the costing profit and loss
account.
