    I just wanted to say a huge thank you. I am studying Transport Manager (CPC) in UK and there is a module on finance and accounting. This video just cascaded lots of info into place with regards to pricing jobs in haulage.
    E.g. Direct costs to carry out my service would be truck fuel, hotel stays for driver, road tolls etc.
    Indirect costs would be the general business administration etc. Those I need to allocate to ensure my company makes a profit.
    It's all making sense thanks to your concise explanation. Gracias!

    Awesome, would rent be considered direct cost? can it also be consider direct cost? What examples would decide in which cost it falls under?

    • @Accountinguniv
      @Accountinguniv  4 года назад +1

      Factory rent is considered an indirect cost since it isn’t directly traceable to the product being produced.

    Is it not the case that direct costs are allocated and indirect cost are absorbed?

      Correct. Direct costs are traceable to the cost object. Indirect costs must be allocated 👍

      Common fixed costs are shared among multiple segments within a business. if one segment is discontinued, the common costs remain and are spread over the remains parts of the business

    Is marketing a direct cost?

    • @Accountinguniv
      @Accountinguniv  3 года назад +2

      Marketing is actually neither indirect or direct since it isn't attributed to production or service. It would be a period cost under operating expenses.

    The example is too simple however exam questions are too confusing. how can salary of an employee can be a direct cost and indirect cost in some circumstances. I am confused.

    • @Accountinguniv
      @Accountinguniv  5 лет назад

      So sorry you’re confused! Employees that are directly working on the product are Direct costs.
      Any other employee who works in the facility where the product is but doesn’t work directly on the product is INDIRECT. (ie janitors)
      More videos coming soon!

      The salary of a direct labourer, can be separated into direct and indirect cost. Specific case in point is when that laborer has an idle time or the salary of the same in doing rework, the two scenarios will form part of indirect labor cost. :)
