Abstract
The broad objective of this study is to examine the effect of cost management on the performance of manufacturing firms listed on the Nigeria stock exchange during the period of 2008 to 2017. It specifically investigate the effect of material cost on performance of manufacturing firms; examine the effect of direct labour cost on performance of manufacturing firms; Determine the effect of production overhead cost on performance of manufacturing firms; and investigate the effect of administrative overhead cost on performance of manufacturing firms. Four hypotheses were formulated for the study and tested Ordinary Least Square techniques. The study relied on secondary data extracted from the audited financial statement of the selected firms. Direct material cost, direct labour cost, production overhead cost and administrative overhead cost were taken as independent cost management variables while return on equity was taken as dependent variable representing the firm’s performance. Results indicate a significant positive relationship between direct material cost, direct labour cost and firm performance. However, production overhead cost and administrative overhead cost were found to be negatively correlated with firm performance. The study concluded that cost management practice is a significant variable that can increase the performance of manufacturing firms. It is therefore recommended that a cost reduction strategy with emphasis on production overhead cost and administrative overhead cost should be embarked upon if their profit maximization and wealth creation objective must be achieved.
