Document Summary

Organisations can be categorised into three types: Manufacturing: convert raw materials into physical product. Inventory: raw materials, work in process, finished goods. Merchandising: sell goods already made by manufacturer completed goods. All of which incur selling, general & administrative costs. Cost is the value sacrificed for goods/services that are expected to bring a current or future benefit to business. As costs are used up in the production, they expire and become expenses (otherwise it is an asset). Sunk cost are costs that have been paid/incurred and are irretrievable and cannot be changed. Controllable costs are costs that are heavily influenced/controlled by a manager. Cost object is any item or activity to which costs are assigned. Direct costs: costs that can be traced to a cost object, in a convenient and cost-effective way. Indirect costs: costs that are common to several cost objects, i. e. not directly traceable to.
