Classification of Cost
There are different measures of costs for different purposes. Therefore, costs are classified in a number of ways. An organization does not record costs by all possible classifications. However, in this modern age, computers have made it possible to record costs on multiple classification bases without much additional clerical work and expense. This has facilitated ready availability of cost data for all decision making situations. Following are the principal classifications:
- Product or manufacturing cost
