Controllable costs are those that can be influenced or changed by a manager's actions and decisions, providing evidence of their performance. On the other hand, uncontrollable costs are beyond a manager's control and cannot be used to evaluate their performance. Allocated and unallocated costs refer to the way costs are assigned to different departments or activities, but they do not necessarily reflect on a manager's performance. Third-party costs are those that are incurred by external suppliers or contractors and also do not provide evidence of a manager's performance.
