TYPES AND USES OF COST DATA FOR DECISION MAKING
RELEVANT COSTS – cost that change in value as different alternatives are compared. It
has two characteristics: 1) future cost and 2) differential cost
PERIOD COSTS – are costs that can be directly identified with measured time interval
like month, quarter, semester or year. These are charged against income in the period
incurred and cannot be inventoried. Normally, fixed costs are period costs
PRODUCT COSTS – are costs that can be directly identified with the unit of product.
These cling to the unit produced and are reported as assets until the units are sold
(inventoriable cost)
OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS – are costs that requires a current cash outlay (salaries)
SUNK COSTS - are cost of which the outlay has already been made (cost of acquired
machine)
IMPUTED COSTS – are cost that do not involve at any time actual cash outlay and which
do not, as a consequence, appear in the financial records, nevertheless, such costs
involve a foregoing on the part of the person whose costs are being calculated
DIFFERENTIAL COSTS – are the difference in cost between one course of action and
another. It means both incremental (costs increases) and decremental costs (cost
decreases)
VALUE-ADDED COSTS – costs that add value to the product. Effort should be made to
eliminate those costs that do not add value to the product such as storage and materials
handling
