Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Uncontrollable costs refer to expenses that are beyond the control of the manager, such as market conditions or government regulations. Variable costs can often be influenced by the manager's decisions, while indirect costs and joint costs can also be managed to some extent. Direct costs may be influenced by decisions made within the manager's control, so they are not considered uncontrollable.
