Document Summary

Peanut-butter costing- evenly spreading (averaging) costs uniformly to cost objects, even though the cost objects use the costs in a non-uniform manner. Product under-costing: a product that uses a high level of resources per unit but has a low cost per unit. Product over-costing: a product that uses a low level of resources per unit but has a high cost per unit. Under-costing underpriced product which may result in no revenue or even losses. Over-costing overpriced product to cover the costs. Product-cost cross-subsidization: if a company under-costs one product it will over-cost at least one other product, and vice versa. When all of the costs are direct costs, we can trace the costs back to the cost objects and see which products are over/under-costed. Harder to calculate amount of product-cost cross-subsidization when indirect costs are present. Example: a pizza (8 slices), split amongst 4 people (a, b, c, d)
