Cost ClassificationsCost Classifications

1-37

Cost behavior means how a cost will react to changes in the level of business activity.– Total variable costs

change when activity changes.

– Total fixed costs remain unchanged when activity changes.

Total Variable Cost ExampleTotal Variable Cost Example

Your total cable pay-per-view bill is based on how many movies you watch.

Direct and Indirect CostsDirect and Indirect Costs

1-44

Direct costs• Costs that can be

easily and conveniently traced to a product or department.

• Example: cost of paint in the paint department of an automobile assembly plant.

Indirect costs• Costs that must be

allocated in order to be assigned to a product or department.

• Example: cost of national advertising for an airline is indirect to a particular flight.

Opportunity CostOpportunity Cost

1-47

The potential benefit that is given up when one alternative is selected over another.– Example: If you were

not attending college,you could be earning$20,000 per year. Your opportunity costof attending college for one year is $20,000.

Sunk CostsSunk Costs

1-48

All costs incurred in the past that cannot be changed by any decision made now or in the future are sunk costs. Sunk costs should not be considered in decisions.

– Example: You bought an automobile that cost $12,000 two years ago. The $12,000 cost is sunk because whether you drive it, park it, trade it, or sell it, you cannot change the $12,000 cost.

Differential CostsDifferential Costs

1-49

Costs that differ between alternatives.

Example: You can earn $1,500 per month in yourhometown or $2,000 per month in a nearby city.

Your commuting costs are $50 per month in yourhometown and $300 per month to the city.

What is your differential cost? $300 - $50 = $250

Marginal Costs and Average Marginal Costs and Average CostsCosts

1-50

The extra costincurred to produceone additional unit.

The total cost toproduce a quantity

divided by thequantity produced.

Marginal and average costs arelargely a function of cost behavior

-- variable and fixed costs.
