Learning Objectives
1. Cost behaviour analysis - variable, fixed and mixed cost behaviour.
2. Explain the costs involved in manufacturing activities – direct material, direct labour and overhead.

Cost Behaviour Analysis
Cost behaviour analysis:• Examines how costs behave when levels
of business activity change:– Some costs change– Some costs stay the same
• Helps in planning and choosing between alternatives.
• Starts with identification of key activities and their relationships with various costs.

Variable Costs
• Variable costs change in total with increases and decreases in activity level.– e.g. direct materials, direct labour, COGS,
freight costs, fuel• They are identified on a per-unit basis• Variable costs stay the same per unit as
activity level changes.• Total variable costs change in proportion
to change in activity level.

Fixed Costs
• Fixed costs do not change with increases and decreases in activity level.– e.g. rates, rent, insurance, supervisors’
salaries• Fixed cost per unit = total cost divided by
units of activity level.• Total fixed costs stay the same.• Fixed cost per unit changes as activity
level changes.

Fixed Costs (cont’d)

Mixed Costs
• Mixed costs are also called semi-variable costs.
• Mixed costs includes a fixed cost component plus a variable cost according to activity level. e.g. telephone (fixed line charge plus
charge per unit consumed)• Mixed costs are often separated into fixed
and variable components at end of period.

Importance of Identifying Costs
• Identification of costs as fixed or variable is important for business decisions:1. Effect on profitability of reduction in sales
price.2. Effect on activity level when expenses
increase per unit to keep current profitability.3. Minimum level of sales to cover costs.4. Costs of maintaining level of production for
different manufacturing methods.

Manufacturing costs consists of: Direct material: material and parts used
directly during the manufacturing process.
Direct labour: the work of factory employees that are directly involved in producing the product.
Manufacturing overhead: costs that are indirectly associated with the manufacturing of the finished goods. Eg. Indirect material, indirect labour, depreciation on factory buildings.

Product Costs – costs that are necessary and integral part of producing the finished product.
Direct labour and manufacturing overhead are incurred in converting raw materials into finished goods, these costs elements are often referred to as conversion costs.
Period costs – costs that are identified with a specific time period rather with a salable product. These costs relate to non-manufacturing costs and therefore are not inventorial costs.
