resources that have already been used in producing revenue.
Unexpired cost is the one which still has
a potential of generating revenue in future. An unexpired cost is an asset. Future costs are based on forecasts & can be planned
Future costs help to plan ahead &
control activities
Historical costs are used as starting
point to predict future costs
Future/predicted costs are called
budgeted or standard costs. 2. Direct & Indirect Costs
Direct costs are those cost items which
can be traced logically & conveniently, in their entirety , to a cost object. Indirect costs are those cost items which cannot be traced or identified directly with a cost object. It is not easy to determine the amount of indirect costs assignable to each cost object. Since indirect costs are common to two or more cost objects, they are called common costs 2. Fixed & Variable Costs
When total cost remains non-variable to
changes in volume, it is called a fixed cost.
This cost will remain constant whether
production is zero or 1,00,000 units.
The total fixed cost remains constant but
the fixed cost per unit varies with volume. 2. Fixed & Variable Costs
When total cost changes in direct
proportion to changes in volume, it is called variable cost.
The variable cost per unit remains
uniform, the total variable cost fluctuates proportionately to the volume. 3. Budgeted & Standard Costs
A standard cost is predetermined cost
based on past experience & data
Standard costs constitute an important
managerial tool of controlling costs & evaluating performance. Budgeted costs Budgeted costs are those costs which are expected to be incurred for the planned activities of an enterprise for a specified period of time.
Budgeted costs are expressed as total
while standard costs are expressed on per unit basis.
Those costs for which unit standards
cannot be set are predetermined by preparing a budget. Eg: fixed factory overhead 4. Controllable & Non-Controllable costs
Controllable costs are those which can be
influenced to a significant extent by the actions of an individual at a specific responsibility level within a specific time span.
Those costs which are not subject to the
direct authority & actions of an individual are Non-controllable at his responsibility level. 5. Relevant & Irrelevant costs
Cost which is influenced by a decision is a
relevant cost & is important for decision- makers.
If a company wants to make a component,
the relevant costs are- material & labour cost, fixed costs to be incurred for creating additional manufacturing facilities. 5. Relevant & Irrelevant costs
Cost which is not affected by a
decision is irrelevant cost.
Normally, all fixed costs are irrelevant
costs. 5. Out-of-pocket costs & sunk costs
Current/future cash expenditure
required as a result of a decision is an out-of-pocket cost.
Those costs which have been incurred
in the past & will not require current cash expenditure are sunk costs. Eg: depreciation, preliminary expenses.
