  cost data in some organized way by
  means of accounting system
 Cost Assignment is a term that

  ii. Allocating accumulated costs that have
  an indirect relationship to cost object
Types of Cost an its Behavior


$                           Fixed Costs: costs that remain
                            constant regardless of the quantity
                            of product produced.
    Output



                            Variable Costs: costs that
$                           increase linearly and
                            proportionately as production
                            volume increases.
    Output

    Profit = (Sales Revenue-Variable Cost) - Fixed Cost
Types of Cost and its Behavior
   Cost Driver:                 Any activity or event that causes costs to be incurred.

                                 Direct material (DM), direct labor (DL), and
   Manufacturing Cost:
                                 manufacturing overhead (MOH).

   Sales and General
                                 All costs associated with running the business,
    Administrative Costs:
                                 excluding production costs.

   Direct and Indirect Costs:   Costs that can either be traced (direct) or not traced
                                 (indirect) to a specific department in the organization.


   Controllable and             Costs used to describe the extent of a manager’s
    Uncontrollable Costs:        influence on cost.



   Product/Period Cost:         Refers to the timing which costs become expenses.
Economic Terms
• Opportunity        Benefit lost because the choice of one
  Cost:              action precludes another action.

• Sunk Cost:         Costs that have already been incurred and
                     can not be altered by current or future
                     decisions.

• Differential and   Difference in the costs incurred under two
  Incremental        alternative actions.
  Cost:
                     Cost associated with producing one
• Marginal Cost:
                     additional unit.

• Average Cost       Total cost for the quantity produced, divided
  per Unit:          by the number of units produced.
Industry Differentiation on the basis
               of Cost


 Manufacturing sector companies
 Merchandising sector companies
 Service sector companies
Industry Differentiation on the basis
               of Cost


   Types of Inventories (manufacturing)
       Direct material inventory
       Work in process inventory
       Finished goods inventory
Elements of Manufacturing Cost

 Direct Material
 Direct Labor
 Manufacturing Overhead
  Indirect Material
  Indirect Labor
  All other cost related to manufacturing
Elements of Manufacturing Cost

 Primecost
 Prime cost = Direct material + Direct labor


 Conversion cost
 Conversion cost = Direct labor + Manufacturing
                                  overhead cost
Cost Distinction according to GAAP
   Product Costs
    I.     Direct material
    II.    Direct labor
    III.   Manufacturing overheads


   Period Costs
    I.     Selling Expense
    II.    General & Administrative Expense
Types of Cost System
 Job Order System
The job order cost system is used when
products are made based on specific
customer orders. Each product produced is
considered a job. Costs are tracked by job.
Services rendered can also be considered a
job.
Types of Cost System

   Process Cost System
Process costing is used when products are
manufactured under conditions of
continuous processing or under mass
production methods. In fact, process costing
procedures are often termed "continuous
or mass production cost accounting
procedures".
