  2. Indirect costs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indirect_costs

    Some indirect costs may be overhead, but other overhead costs can be directly attributed to a project and are direct costs. There are two types of indirect costs. One are the fixed indirect costs, which are unchanged for a particular project or company, like transportation of labor to the working site, building temporary roads, etc.

  3. Cost breakdown analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_breakdown_analysis

    The price of a product or service is defined as cost plus profit, whereas cost can be broken down further into direct cost and indirect cost. [1] As a business has virtually no influence on indirect cost, a cost reduction oriented cost breakdown analysis focuses rather on factors contributing to direct cost.

  4. Social discount rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_discount_rate

    Calculating the true social marginal cost can be a lot easier than measuring the social marginal benefit. Because of the uncertainty involved with calculating benefits, problems may arise e.g., should a dollar amount be put on time based on average wages, contingent valuations or revealed preferences?

  5. Cost–benefit analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost–benefit_analysis

    Cost–benefit analysis (CBA), sometimes also called benefit–cost analysis, is a systematic approach to estimating the strengths and weaknesses of alternatives.It is used to determine options which provide the best approach to achieving benefits while preserving savings in, for example, transactions, activities, and functional business requirements. [1]

  6. Environmental full-cost accounting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_full-cost...

    Environmental full-cost accounting (EFCA) is a method of cost accounting that traces direct costs and allocates indirect costs [1] by collecting and presenting information about the possible environmental costs and benefits or advantages – in short, about the "triple bottom line" – for each proposed alternative.

  7. Activity-based costing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity-based_costing

    Direct labour and materials are relatively easy to trace directly to products, but it is more difficult to directly allocate indirect costs to products. Where products use common resources differently, some sort of weighting is needed in the cost allocation process. The cost driver is a factor that creates or drives the cost of the activity ...

  8. Salazar v. Ramah Navajo Chapter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salazar_v._Ramah_Navajo...

    This was about $28,000 less than the amount that would be reimbursed using only the BIA grants. [17] The BIA used this method to artificially reduce the amount of indirect costs that it would have to pay to the tribes. [fn 6] Due to the dispute over indirect costs, the Chapter filed a contract appeal with the BIA in 1990. [19]

  9. Cost driver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_driver

    The cost drivers thus are the link between the activities and the cost of the product. Generally, the cost driver for short term indirect variable costs may be the volume of output/activity; but for long term indirect variable costs, the cost drivers will not be related to volume of output/activity.
