Cost and irrelevant cost
Cost/outcomes = resources, usually presented in monetary terms, that needs to be spend/sacrificed to achieve
business goals/objectives.
Costs are relevant and irrelevant costs for decision making
Historical costs = irrelevant
Opportunity costs / outlay costs = relevant
What makes a cost relevant: important when making a decision
1. Related to the business objective
2. Must be a future cost
3. Varies with decision / outcome will vary. The cost will change depending on the decision I take.
Cost. Behavior, fixed and variable cost
1. Vary with the volume of activity= variable cost
2. Does not vary of volume of the activity= fixed cost
Semi-fixed /semi-variable cost = foxed up to some level of activity, then variable
Break-even analysis, contribution, margin of safety
Break-even point: level of activity at which total cost = total sales revenue
Total cost= total fixed costs + total variable costs
BEP formula:
¿ cost
x=
Price per unit−variable cost per unit
Contribution per unit = sales revenue per unit (price) – variable cost per unit
¿ cost
Bep ( ¿units )=
Contribution per unit
