1. Direct costs and indirect costs. Direct costs are costs which are directly related to making a product, considering indirect costs this firsthand function cannot be specifically traced to a cost object.
2. Manufacturing costs. In manufacturing costs are categorize as direct costs i.e direct labour
3. Cost behaviour. According to how costs change in response to a change in a cost driver costs are differentiated as variable, fixed and mixed.
4. Relevant and irrelevant costs. For managerial decisions it is essential that only relevant costs are considered. In managerial accounting irrelevant costs are those what are the same ones for different alternatives and also sunk costs i.e. costs what are past costs and cannot be changed.
Companies that employ a cost leadership strategy i.e. they turn their attention to cost accounting and cost allocation and gain competitive advantage because their goods are are at a lower cost than competitors products.
