CHAPTER- 1
INTRODUCTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION TO COST ACCOUNTING

Costing was previously described as a methodology and method for determining the value of
a particular item. Value accounting was redefined in the 1960’s to refer to the application of
costing and cost accounting concepts, methodologies, and strategies to the sciences, the art,
and practice of cost management, as well as the determination of the profitability of goods and
services. It also covers the presentation of data that was obtained with managerial decision-
making in mind. It really emphasizes the value of cost accounting as attained during the course
of the term by applying pricing standards in seven additional areas and assisting management
in making the best possible business decisions. The scope of price accounting has expanded to
the point where it now encompasses all types of information that helps executives to achieve
organizational objectives. Since managers are the main consumers of accounting data and
increasingly use the information offered by accounts to set goals and manage corporate
operations, modern price accounting is sometimes referred to as management accounting.

1.2 HISTORY OF COST ACCOUNTING

The field of accounting has a long history. The use of financial accounting should have existed
in early culture. As counting and math were introduced, the barter system was altered by the
introduction of money, and some form of economic accounting emerged. Cost accounting, on
the other hand, may be traced to the latter part of the seventeenth century. Robert Loader's Farm
Money Owed 1610–20 has the earliest mention of value accounting. However, the 18th-century
industrial revolution brought about a significant mechanization of production equipment,
which led to large-scale production.

There have been occasional attempts to implement factory value systems in the UK and the
USA going back to 1805.

But the idea of top price was once used around 1875 with the aid of some industrialists.
Between 1885 and 1901, a range of publications from London and New York explained the
value of manufacture, the distribution of establishment’s charges, the business organization of
the factories, factory money owed –their standards and practices, and ultimately entire text
book on value accounting principle and practice was once published by using J.L. Nicholson
from New York in 1913. The fee accounting ideas advanced similarly with the opening of the
1st world war. The ‘cost-plus’ thought used to be delivered at some stage in the fighting time
in order to keep away from prolong in executing pressing supplies.

The contract s has been entered on the basis that the dealer would be reimbursed the ‘cost-plus’
a constant proportion to cover administration and other overhead costs and profit. Immediately,
two things happened. One, a demand for qualified persons to calculate value and two,
deliberation of value accountancy obtained a boost-up. More and greater human beings
obtained interested in the profession. In 1919, the institute of fee and works accountants used
to be set up in U.K, which is recognized as the chartered institute of administration accountants
(CIMA) at London. Simultaneously, in USA the countrywide association of value accountants,
which is now known as the countrywide association of accountants, was once also hooked up
at New York? Under the leadership of these two institutes, the occupation and the ideas of cost
accounting developed significantly. Before the 2ND world hostilities, the mechanism of
preferred fee accounting, budgetary control, bendy budgeting and direct costing grew to
become recognized in USA AND UK. Before intendancy, there were a few price accountants
in India, and they were mostly qualified by ICWA (CIMA) London. The need to establish a
career in the United States became apparent during the Second World War, and some Calcutta-
based defaces services employees took the initiative to establish an Indian institute.

Career costing is still in its infancy at that point. The institute of value and works accountants
of India, however, was established in Calcutta after the fee and works accountants of India act
was passed in 1959.

The career counts on in addition significance hotel 1968, when the government of India
introduced selective fee audit beneath part 233-B of the Indian companies act 1956 and framed
cost. For this, we'll use the 1968 Accounting Record Rules.

Price audit is no longer required, but it is still selected for a few nominated industries. Despite
this, the profession has greatly profited, and more people are now interested in entering the
field.

Due to the widespread usage of fee accounting techniques today, new concepts in information
technology, operational management, and performance measurement have emerged. Modern
value management is defined by concepts like ABC, strategic manipulate system, flexible
product ion machine, etc.

1.3 INTRODUCTION TO COST STRUCTURE

The term "cost shape" refers to the distribution of prices associated with the production of
goods or services across time. While some people mistakenly believe that a cost structure only
refers to the price range used in the manufacturing process, a true value shape will also take
into account the utilization of all types of resources along the route. This can include costs like
labor and utility bills as well as additional one-time costs like revenue and advertising costs.

When attempting to create a sensible photo of the price structure associated with the production
of any kind of excellent or service, the first step is to recognize each person step that occurs.
This begins with the development of the notion for the product, the acquisition of raw materials,
and the introduction of production amenities that are used to create the end product. At the
same time, a fee shape will tackle all labor expenses related with every step.

This will consist of solely the cost of wages and salaries, but also ancillary benefits provided
to employees, such variation, retirement, and health benefits. Essentially any rate that is
incurred to make sure all the imperative aspects for manufacturing is in vicinity will be section
of the fee structure. But once the top or supplier is created, the components of a great cost form
do not end. Nevertheless, there are the issues of storage, promotion, marketing, and sales, as
well as the delivery of the product to the customer.

This means that the price structure must also include any storage fees incurred while the
product is being prepared for sale, any costs associated with advertising and promoting the

product, and any transportation and transaction costs incurred when delivering the product to
a customer.

Analyzing all these elements as section of finding out the current value structure yield two
important advantages for the producer first, the modern-day circumstance of the cost structure
aids in assisting to decide the unit charge for every product produced obviously, the unit cost
have to exceed the genuine fee of producing the product, or the organization will soon be out
of business. second, evaluating the prices that make up the value structure can often help
perceive points alongside the method that can be subtle for larger efficiency or at least a more
responsible use of the sources on hand. This aspect can additionally have an impact on the last
unit cost, and possibly help to expand the earnings margin on each unit produced.

1.4 MEANING OF COST STRUCTURE

The costs that a business should consider when producing a good or providing a service.
Transaction costs, sunk costs, marginal expenses, and fixed costs are examples of charge
structure types. The ratio of fixed assets to variable costs determines the firm's price structure.

The types and quantities of fixed and variable expenses that a company incurs are referred to
as its cost structure. Smaller components of the idea, such as a product, service, product line,
client, division, or geographic area, can be detailed. If you are using a cost-based pricing
approach, cost shape is used as a tool to determine prices as well as to highlight areas in which
prices may perhaps be reduced or at least subjected to better management. The cost structure
idea is a management accounting concept, not a financial accounting concept.

1.5 DEFINITION OF COST STRUCTURE

There are differences between every business. Just consider it. You would need a lot of
ingredients to bake the cupcakes and a lot of containers to package them if you owned a cupcake
shop. However, if you had a pet store, you would need a lot of meals to feed all your animals.
Additionally, you would have to buy your animals while they were young, and you'd want a
lot of cleaning supplies to keep your shop tidy.

the organization.

1.7 CHARACTERISTICS OF COST STRUCTURE


1. Fixed Costs:

These costs do not increase or decrease when the volume of production changes; rather, they
remain constant in total amount over a wide variety of activities for a given length of time. As

NAGARJUNA DEGREE COLLEGE Page 5

an illustration, consider construction rent, manager pay, building insurance, and municipal
taxes.

2. Variable Cost:

Total variable cost likewise falls as production volume drops, and full variable value increases
as output volume declines. Cost varies disproportionately to the quantity of goods or services.
For instance, direct materials, direct salaries, authority, royalties, salesman commissions, etc.

3. Economies of Scope:

Costs per unit output fails as output expands. Mining and manufacturing companies belong to
this category- typically to a positive level, when growing scales carry their personal
technological problems.

1.8 MEANING OF COST

The dictionary meaning of cost is a of value is a “loss or sacrifice” or “an amount paid or
required in payment for a buy or for the manufacturing or maintenance of something. Regularly

Cost Ascertainment:

This offers with the collection and evaluation of expenses, dimension of the manufacturing of
different merchandise at different degrees of manufacture and the linking up of production with
expenses. It deals with the different device of estimated costs, trendy prices etc. again the
various techniques for the size of manufacturing have resulted in different method of costing
(such as particular order costing operation costing etc.)

Cost Accounting:

It is the system of accounting for fee which begins with recording of expenditure and ends with

DISADVANTAGES OF COST ACCOUNTING

 Cost accounting is an exact science and includes inherent factor of judgments.

 Most of the cost accounting techniques are primarily based on some pre-assumed notions.

 Cost varies with purpose; therefore, cost amassed for one reason will not be appropriate for
some other purpose.

 There a giant range of conventions, estimates and bendy elements due to which it becomes
hard to genuine costs.

 Cost accounting lacks uniform procedure. Itis perchance that two equally equipped
accountants may arrive at one of kind conclusions from the equal data.

Control of substances cost:

A machine for receiving, handling, and issuing substances and supplies is a crucial aspect of
control since all types of price accountant, materials, and materials should be accounted for in
terms of departments, processes, and devices of production or services. Materials in the
stockroom are controlled using the perpetual inventory method.

Control of labor cost:

cost accounting activities encourage accounting for labor with the aid of jobs and through
operations. In many manufacturing concerns every day summary reports are prepared to exhibit
the range of hours and minutes labored and the wage price for each employee per job or
operation. Elaborate structures of incentives, such as piece prices or bonus plans, are in use as
a section of manufacturing fee accounting for that labor which can be recognized with
particular jobs operations. Cost accounting is benefit to the employer by using establishing
requirements to measure efficiency of labor, to help in the assignment of work to personnel
excellent fitted for it and to determine the unit price of labor springing up from every activity.

Control of overheads:

Costs are all very a good deal alike to the general or monetary accountant. He compares charges
of one length with those of another, but he seldom classifies them as to controllable and
uncontrollable items. The fee accountant first separates prices into direct and indirect items.
Direct prices consist of cloth and labor that can be in reality recognized with manufacturing
whilst oblique costs, generally termed as “overhead”.

Measuring efficiency:

For measuring efficiency, Cost Accounting department need to grant data about requirements
and authentic overall performance of the involved activity.

Budgeting:

Now-a-days detailed estimates in phrases of quantities and quantities at drawn up earlier than

Cost money owed need to grant information, which enables the management to fix
remunerative promoting expenditures for various gadgets of products and offerings in distinct
circumstances.

Curtailment of loss at some point of the off-season:

Cost Accounting can additionally provide information, which may enable discount of

The purpose of a costing device is to achieve a specific goal at the lowest possible cost. It
consists of a system of procedures, rules, fee records, etc. It lays the groundwork for upcoming
operations. One single system cannot handle all problems. Depending on the circumstances,
each situation may also design and set up a unique device. Additionally, it can organize the
process for creating charge records and the workout.

A study of the costs and benefits should be used to support the need for installing a costing
device. The costs of building and operating the system are more than offset by the advantages
projected by the costing machine two.

NAGARJUNA DEGREE COLLEGE Page 13


A STUDY ON IMPACT OF COST STRUCTURE ON THE PROFITABILITY AT
ADITYA AUTO PRODUCTS AND ENGINEERING PVT. LTD, AT
DODDABALLAPUR

When a preference to installation a system is taken, it has to be so designed as to serve the


reason of the specific concern. It be really helpful in accordance with the dreams of costing and
be flexible enough to adapt itself to altering conditions.

1.19 BASIC CONSIDERATION OR REQUISITES OF A GOOD


COSTING SYSTEM

 The costing system should be simple and easy to operate. It must suit to the requirements of

examine all relevant factors because if not, the machine will be an improper fit and its full
benefits may no longer be realized. Information on the various parts of the organization should
be gathered with particular care.

It is important to carefully consider the size of the company, the type of business, the nature,
process, and levels of production, the variety of product types and volumes, and various

NAGARJUNA DEGREE COLLEGE Page 14


A STUDY ON IMPACT OF COST STRUCTURE ON THE PROFITABILITY AT
ADITYA AUTO PRODUCTS AND ENGINEERING PVT. LTD, AT
DODDABALLAPUR

technological elements. It is necessary to analyze the systems for paying workers and for
materials.

Forms and original entry archives must be created with the least amount of clerical work and
expense possible. It should be possible to control the machine appropriately and implement an
effective reporting system. It is important to keep in mind the administrative requirements and
the policy that has been developed in response to fee manipulation.

To operate the system more successfully, formal actions such codification, classification, the
creation of charge centers, guidelines for the allocation of indirect costs, the introduction of
formats and monthly reports, and post-installation evaluation of the costing device must also
be implemented.

1.21 PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES IN INSTALLING A COSTING


SYSTEM

Practical difficulties, aside from technical costing problems which a price accountant has to
face in installing a costing system, are:

Lack of Support from Top Management:

There may additionally be scarcity of value accountants to cope with the work of price analysis,
value manage and cost reduction. The work of costing branch cannot be treated without the
availability of educated staff.

Heavy Cost of Operating the System:

The cost of operating a device could likewise be high unless the costing system is excellently
created to meet the unique requirements of each scenario. Additionally, the system might be
able to give information that is needed by all management levels. It might also require
additional paperwork. As a result, the equipment will be expensive to operate.

1.22 STEPS TO OVERCOME PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES

To overcome the above difficulties, following steps are suggested:

Support from the Top Management:

Accountants (ICWA). Charges, as used in manufacturing terminology, relate to the entire cost
of the resources utilized to produce or manufacture a good. These resources may consist of raw
materials, labor, and land.

1.24 ELEMENTS OF COST

Material:

Helps in producing or manufacturing goods. Material implies a substance from which a product
is made for example, a company requires materials, such as bricks and cement for establishing
a building.

Labor:

Acts as an important section of production. An organization requires labor to convert uncooked


materials into completed goods. Labor cost is the most important aspect of cost.

Expenses:

Refer to prices that are incurred in the production of finished goods different than material
prices and labor costs.

1.25 CLASSIFICATION OF COSTS

There are different costs for different purposes and no single cost concept is relevant in all
Situations.

1. Classification based on financial nature of costs:

Financial Cost;

This is financial sacrifices that do not involve cash outlays at the time when the cost is
recognized.

NAGARJUNA DEGREE COLLEGE Page 18


A STUDY ON IMPACT OF COST STRUCTURE ON THE PROFITABILITY AT

Non - Financial costs;

These are those costs that are not directly traceable through a company's cash flow,

2. Element wise classification of cost

Direct Costs:

costing unit or cost center,

Indirect Cost:

Indirect cost cannot be allocated but which can be identified easily and indisputably with a unit
of operation or costing unit or cost center.

3. Functional Classification of costs:

It refers to costs concerned with manufacturing activity which starts with supply of material
and ends with primary of the product.

Administration Cost:

It is incurred for carrying the administrative function of the organization. Selling and
Distribution cost:

The cost of activities relating to create and simulate demand for company's products and to
secure orders.

Research and Development cost:

This cost is searching for new manufacturing process, improvement of existing products,
process or equipment. And the Development cost is the cost of putting research result on
commercial basis.

1.26 TECHNIQUES OF COSTING

Uniform costing:

It is the use of same costing principles by several undertakings for common control or
comparison of costs.

Marginal costing:

It is the ascertainment of marginal cost by differentiating between fixed & variable cost. It is
used to ascertain the effect of changes in volume or type of output on profit.

Standard costing;

A comparison is made of the actual cost with a pre - arranged standard cost and the cost of any
deviation is analyzed by causes.

Historical costing:

It is ascertainment of costs after they have been incurred. It aims at ascertaining costs actually
incurred on work done in the past.

Absorption Costing:

It is the practice of charging all costs, both variable and fixed to operations, processes or

 Actual cost- Actual cost means the actual expenditure incurred on producing goods and
services. Value of raw material, wages, rent, salaries paid and interest of borrowed capital
etc. are some of the example of actual cost. Actual cost is also known as absolute cost or
out lay cost or money cost.

 Opportunity Cost- The opportunity cost is measured in terms of the forgone benefits from
the next best alternative use of a given resource. For example, the inputs which are used to
manufacture a car may also be used in the productions of military equipment.

Main points of opportunity cost are:


1. The opportunity cost of any commodity is only the next best alternative forgone
2. The next best alternative commodity that could be produced with the same value of
the factors, which are more or less the same.
3. It helps in determining relative prices of factor inputs at different places.
4. It helps in determining the remuneration to services
5. It helps the manager to decide what he should produce in the factory.

 Explicit cost- An explicit cost is a cost that is directly incurred by the firm, company or
organization during the production. The explicit cost is kept on record by the accountant of
the firm. Salaries, wages, rent, raw material are few example of the explicit cost. The
explicit cost is also known as out- pocket cost. This cost is handy in calculating both
accounting and economic profit.

 Implicit cost- The implicit cost is directly opposite to it, as it is the cost that is not directly
incurred by the firm or company. In implicit cost outflow of cash doesn’t take place. It is
not in the record and is heard to be traced back.
The interest on owner’s capital or the salary of the owner are the prominent example of the
implicit cost. The implicit cost is also known as imputed cost. Through implicit cost, only
the economic profit is calculated.

 Incremental cost- Incremental costs are the added costs of a change in the level of
production or the nature of activity. It may be adding a new product or changing distribution
channel, or adding new machinery, etc. It appears to be similar to marginal cost, but it is
not managerial cost. Marginal cost refers to the cost on added unit of output.

 Sunk Cost- Sunk costs are costs which cannot be altered in any way. Sunk costs are costs
which have already been uncured. For example, cost incurred in constructing a factory.
When the factory building is constructed cost have already been incurred. The building has
to be used for which originally envisaged. It cannot be altered when operation are increased
or decreased. Investment of machinery is an example of sunk cost.

 Abandonment cost- Abandonment cost are those cost which are incurred for the complete
removal of the fixed asset from use. These may occur due to obsolesce or due to
improvisation of the firm. Abandonment costs thus involve problem of disposal of the asset.

 Book cost – Book cost are those business cost which don’t involve any cash payment is
made but a provision is made in the books of accounts in order to include them in the profit
and loss account and take tax advantage.

 Out of pocket cost- Out of pocket cost are those costs or expenses which are current
payments to the outsiders of the firm. All the explicit costs fall into the category of out of
pocket costs.

 Direct Cost-Direct costs are related to a specific process or product. They are also called
traceable costs as we can directly trace them to a particular activity, product or process.
They can vary with changes in the activity or product. Examples of direct costs include
manufacturing costs relating to production, customer acquisition costs pertaining to sales,
etc.

 Indirect costs- Indirect costs, or untraceable costs, are those which do not directly relate to
a specific activity or component of the business. For example, an increase in charges of
electricity or taxes payable on income. Although we cannot trace indirect costs, they are
important because they affect overall profitability.

1.28 MEANING OF COST SHEET

A cost sheet is a statement that shows the various components of total cost for a product
and shows previous data for comparison. You can deduce the ideal selling price of a product
based on the cost sheet.

Importance and objectives of cost sheet

Cost sheets help with a number of essential business processes

1. Determining cost: The main objective of the cost sheet is to obtain an accurate product
cost. It gives you both the total cost and cost per unit of a product.

2. Fixing selling price: In order to fix the selling price of a product, you need to create a cost
sheet so you can see the details of its production cost.

3. Cost comparison: It helps the management compare the current cost of a product with a
previous per unit cost for the same product. Comparing the costs helps management take
corrective measures if costs have increased.

4. Cost control: The cost sheet is an important document for a manufacturing unit, as it helps
in controlling production costs. Using an estimated cost sheet aids in monitoring labour,
material and overhead costs at each step of production.

NAGARJUNA DEGREE COLLEGE Page 23

DODDABALLAPUR

5. Decision-making: Some of the most important decisions management makes are based on
the cost sheet. Whenever a business needs to produce or buy a component, or quote
prices for its goods on a tender, managers refer to the cost sheet.

1.30 COST REDUCTION STRATEGIES


Kaizen Costing: Kaizen costing is the procedure of constant cost lessening that happens when
a product is in the production stage. It is a process of continuous improvement that empowers
steady decreases in cost by fixing the standard.
It is a procedure for decreasing cost which centers around the creation procedure and
accomplishes cost reduction by essentially expanding the productivity of the generation
procedure. Kaizen is authored from two words: KAI which signifies "change" and ZEN which
signifies "for better". Kaizen is a Japanese expression for making upgrades to a procedure in
little incremental sums instead of through substantial developments.

NAGARJUNA DEGREE COLLEGE Page 25

DODDABALLAPUR

Value Analysis: Value analysis is one of the major cost reduction techniques. It is an organized
method of identifying and eliminating unnecessary costs associated with product or service by
conducting an analysis of function of each component of the product.

It is an almost universal method used for analyzing existing products and services offered by
production companies with basic principle of offering value for the lowest or optimal
production costs. It is an approach to improving that focuses on improving the value of an item
or process by understanding its constituent’s components and their associated costs.

Budgetary control: The process by which future spending plans are compared with the actual
performance to find out variances is termed budgetary control. It alludes to how managers
effectively utilize budgets to screen and control costs within a given timeframe Budgetary
control guarantees that the targets of the budgetary plans are achieved.

Budgetary control systems cover all phases of business activity, sales, production,
administration and finance and serves as a yardstick for comparison. It is a strategy for reducing
cost that disengages issues by concentrating on those variances which serve as warning signals
to managers.

1.31 STRATEGIES FOR INCREASING THE PROFITABILITY

 FACILITATE TEAM CONTRIBUTION:

One of the first strategies to help in increasing profitability is to meet with members of
your team to establish common goals related to increasing profits.

If team members are all aware of the goals of the organization, it can help them make
decisions that assist in the completion of those goals and motivate them to increase their
productivity.

 CONDUCT MARKET RESEARCH:

Conducting market research can help you identify target audiences and understand their
motivations to purchase your product or services.

analyze to determine which processes you may adjust to increase profitability.

 CREATE BUDGETS:

Developing budgets can help set strict limits on the amount that a business can spend on
certain areas, decreasing the overall expenses of the business.

2.2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE


A literature review is a body of writing with the goal of reviewing the important points of
current knowledge, which includes substantive results as well as theoretical and
methodological contributions to a certain field. Because they are mostly based on secondary
sources, literature publications do not report any fresh or unique experimental work. A
literature review can also be understood as an evaluation of an abstract achievement.

The current chapter's objective is to give a survey of literature relevant to cement businesses'
cost analysis or research done on cost, cost management, and cost control approaches. Cost is
a vital component in the proper operation of business units; nevertheless, it has not piqued the
interest of academics in inventing innovative cost management and reduction approaches.
Whatever research have been undertaken, they have mostly focused on the knowledge of cost,
its components, and cost-control measures. A substantial number of studies with pioneering
work in this field have been undertaken abroad; in addition, Indian researchers have conducted
research studies on various elements of cost analysis. There is a wide variety of literature
written on cost analysis, cost control & cost-reduction some of these are listed below:

Pandu, et al., 2022


Pandu et al., 2022 states that a product's pricing is a reflection of the exchange rate used to
purchase it in the form of money or goods. A corporation must take prudence while calculating
the pricing of a product, service, or good in order to accomplish the intended business goal and
profit. Pricing must consider a number of criteria, as well as the optimal method. The
established price can stimulate customer curiosity and impact consumer purchasing power in
this way. The goal of this study is to discover how the company's price influences consumers'
purchasing power or purchasing interest. In the subject of marketing management, this study
used a qualitative technique in the form of literature reviews. The utilization of qualitative
approaches, as well as literature studies or library research, is required while writing scientific
publications. Because the price of a company's product or service influences customer
purchasing interest, it is strongly tied to consumer purchasing power. The increased purchasing
power of consumers at corporate-set pricing has an influence on accomplishing company goals
and raising profits. [1]

3.2 STAGES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF INDIAN AUTO SEGMENT


INDUSTRY
India has achieved significant development in the vehicle manufacturing sector. It has grown
at a rate of roughly 20% per year over the last five years, making it one of the fastest growing
segments in the Indian economy. The focus of this industry has shifted away from house hold
demands and toward meeting the needs of global suppliers.

NAGARJUNA DEGREE COLLEGE Page 38


A STUDY ON IMPACT OF COST STRUCTURE ON THE PROFITABILITY AT

DODDABALLAPUR

There is no major global vehicle manufacturer now that does not use parts obtained from India.
The auto part industry produces a wide range of segments that are needed by automobile
industry.

The phases in the evolution of the auto segment business can be summarized as follows before
1983-the Indian auto-part industry began in the late 1940s and by the mid1950s, auto-segment
organizations in the composed division had been established. In Bangalore, MICO established
its first production line for the assembly of diesel fuel infusion frameworks in1954.In1950,
Kirloskar oil motor ltd Began producing delicate walled heads. In1954Escorts opened a
cylinder ring facility, followed by a cylinder plant in 1959. In 1955, the Amalgamation group
opened a battery factory. Because there were few automobile companies and the volumes were
very small, the early pioneers in the auto-part sector had a difficult time obtaining business. Car
manufacturers imported auto sectors, and India auto-segment manufacturers believed it was
difficult to compete with imports in terms of both quality and cost. Until the late 1960s, the
concept of re-appropriation was not well known, and automobile manufacturers used to deliver
the vast majority of segments in-house. Automobile manufacturers have spent a lot of money
in the past several years to set up their own part manufacturing facilities.
