Document Summary

Cost is a dollar ($) measure of the resources used to achieve a given benefit. As costs are used up in the production of revenues, they are sold to expire: expired costs are called expenses. On the income statement, expenses are deducted from revenues to determine income aka profit. Revenue per unit is called price: price must be greater than cost in order for the firm to earn income. Accumulating costs tell the company what was spent. Assigning costs tells the company why the money was spent. Direct costs are those costs that can be easily and accurately traced to a cost object. Easy to trace: meaning the relationship between the cost and the object can be physically observed and is easy to track, the most costs that can be traced to the object the more accurate are the cost assignments.
