Abstract

The Standard Cost Finding System is a method of cost finding made standard by the adoption, at the International Cost Congress in 1909 and endorsed by each succeeding convention of the United Ty-pothetae of America, of a set of principles upon which the system is based. The system is primarily for the use of printers, and through its installation and operation they are enabled to ascertain the cost of an hour's work in the various departments, the cost of each piece of work produced, and the cost of all the factors entering into the production of printing.
