Frequently Asked Questions:
What are differential costs and revenues?
Differential costs and revenues are the amounts that differ between two alternatives. Only these changing amounts are relevant to a decision, because costs and revenues that stay the same do not affect the choice.
What is a cost driver?
A cost driver is the underlying activity or process that causes a cost to be incurred. Identifying cost drivers helps managers understand and control costs and allocate them more accurately.
What is a responsibility center?
A responsibility center is an organizational unit, such as a department or segment, whose manager is held accountable for specific resources and operations. It is a key building block for performance evaluation.
How does budgeting support management control?
A budget is a financial plan used to set goals and monitor performance. By comparing actual results to budgeted figures, managers identify favorable and unfavorable variances, providing feedback for corrective action.
Why is a cost accounting information system important?
It gives managers the relevant information needed to eliminate non-value-added activities, perform cost-benefit analysis, spot strategic opportunities, and evaluate performance, all of which support better decision-making.
