Management Accounting - Fixed and Variable Costs

Fixed and Variable Costs


You'll remember from the previous post that there's more than one way to define cost. The methods were:


  • Differential future cash flows (DFC)

  • Cost behaviour in relation to output

  • Assignment to cost object

  • Financial statement perspective

  • Business function



The previous post focused on DFC, and this post is about cost behaviour in relation to output. What's that in english? We're on about fixed and variable costs.
