Costs assigned to a cost object are either direct or indirect.
Fixed costs are assigned to all products. Variable costs are assigned only to the product that led to the cost.
Direct costs- can be conveniently and economically traced to a cost object Indirect costs- cannot be conveniently or economically traced to a cost object. Instead of being traced, these costs are allocated to a cost object in a rational and systematic manner
Organization-sustaining costs, customer-level costs, and the costs of idle capacity should not be assigned to products. These costs represent resources that are not consumed by the products.
Direct Cost are those costs that can be directly assigned to a production process. Indirect cost were those costs that cannot be directly assigned to production process but have to allocate to production. Variable costs are those costs that vary directly with the production level. Only Direct cost could be variable . But not all direct cost are variable. Thus direct cost contains both Variable and Fixed elements while indirect costs contains only fixed element.
i think only indirect costs
The Answer is NO. Direct costs are direct cost which can be clearly/economicaly identified with the cost object, indirect costs cannot be traced to a specific cost object, based on the definition direct cos cant be an indirect cost (Misdhaaque Ahmed)
