Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Controllable costs are costs that the manager can influence or determine, such as labor costs or material costs. Uncontrollable costs, on the other hand, are costs that the manager has no control over, such as market conditions or government regulations. Joint costs refer to shared costs between multiple products or services, while direct costs are costs that can be directly traced to a specific cost object. Indirect costs are costs that cannot be directly traced to a specific cost object.
