Product Costs, Period Costs and Expenses

Product costs are costs associated with goods for sale until the time period during which the productsare sold, at which time the costs become expenses.

Period costs are costs that are expensed during thetime period in which they are incurred.

Expenses are the consumption of assets for thepurpose of generating revenue.

Direct and Indirect Costs

Direct costs • Costs that can be

easily andconveniently traced to

a product or department.

• Example: cost of paint in the paint

department of anautomobile assemblyplant.

Indirect costs• Costs that must be

allocated in order tobe assigned to a

product or department.

• Example: cost of national advertising

for an airline isindirect to a particular flight.

•  A cost can be direct to the department,but indirect to units of product producedin the department.

 – Example: department manager’s salary. 

• Tracing costs directly to departments or products helps to identify and eliminate

non-value added costs.

Opportunity Cost

The potential benefit that isgiven up when onealternative 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 oneyear is $20,000.

Sunk Costs

 All costs incurred in the past that cannot bechanged by any decision made now or in thefuture 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 issunk because whether you drive it, park it, tradeit, or sell it, you cannot change the $12,000cost.

Differential Costs

Costs that differ between alternatives.

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

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

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

Marginal Costs and AverageCosts

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.
