Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Controllable costs are the costs that can be influenced or managed by the manager. This includes costs such as labor, materials, and expenses that the manager has control over. Uncontrollable costs, on the other hand, are costs that the manager cannot control, such as rent and taxes. Joint costs refer to costs incurred in producing two or more products simultaneously, while direct and indirect costs refer to how costs are allocated to specific products or activities.
