What is Classification of Cost
� A means of analysing costs into logical
groups so that they may be summarised
into meaningful information form
management use or for use in the
preparation of external financial reports
![Page 6: ACCA F2L2 Production Cost](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050807/544027daafaf9f80338b464f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

ACCA-F2-Management Accounting
Why Should Costs be Analysed?
� Different issues require different cost
summaries
� Enable management to exercise control
by means of comparisons between
planned costs and actual costs

What are Direct Costs
� Those costs that can be consistently
related to work performed on a cost
objective.
� Direct costs are made up of direct
material, direct labour and direct
manufacturing or servicing costs.
![Page 12: ACCA F2L2 Production Cost](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050807/544027daafaf9f80338b464f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

What are Indirect Costs
� Costs that cannot be traced
exclusively with a given cost objective
in an economically feasible way.
� These costs incurred for common or
joint objectives
![Page 13: ACCA F2L2 Production Cost](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050807/544027daafaf9f80338b464f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Classifying Costs as Direct and Indirect
� Managers prefer to classify costs as direct rather than indirect whenever it is “economically feasible” or “cost effective.”
� Other factors also influence whether a cost is considered direct or indirect.
� The key is the particular cost objective.

Fixed Cost

� These costs remain constant in amount whether its production volume is large or small.
� Examples:
� Rent, insurance, and salaries of supervisory personnel are common examples.
![Page 23: ACCA F2L2 Production Cost](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050807/544027daafaf9f80338b464f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Fixed Cost
� In reality all fixed costs after a level
change
� Example:
• After a specific level of production you
may need an additional factory so additional rent
� If such costs are fixed in total, then
the cost per unit falls with increase in
activity level
![Page 24: ACCA F2L2 Production Cost](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050807/544027daafaf9f80338b464f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Variable Costs
� Costs associated with production that
changes directly with the amount of

Avoidable and Unavoidable Costs
� Avoidable Costs: Can be eliminated by
changing the operation or taking one
course of action rather than another
� Unavoidable Costs: Costs that will not
be changed regardless of any decision
that is made.
![Page 37: ACCA F2L2 Production Cost](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050807/544027daafaf9f80338b464f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
© www.accountingclassroom.com A Resource for ACCA Exam Preparation
Avoidable and Unavoidable Costs
� Depends on the decision being made
and the time period being considered
� Example:
Organization wants to stop production of
Product A. Avoidable costs are likely to be
direct materials, direct labour and direct expenses. However, rent on the factory is an
unavoidable cost.

Controllable and Uncontrollable Costs
� Cost may be controllable by a particular
manager in a given time period.

costs are controllable by someone in the
organisation
� Example:
Factory rental may be fixed for a number of
years but after a few years top management
may decide to move to another premises
