  2. Variable cost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_cost

    The level of variable cost is influenced by many factors, such as fixed cost, duration of project, uncertainty and discount rate. An analytical formula of variable cost as a function of these factors has been derived. It can be used to assess how different factors impact variable cost and total return in an investment. [5]

  3. Total cost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_cost

    The marginal cost can also be calculated by finding the derivative of total cost or variable cost. Either of these derivatives work because the total cost includes variable cost and fixed cost, but fixed cost is a constant with a derivative of 0. The total cost of producing a specific level of output is the cost of all the factors of production.

  4. Contribution margin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contribution_margin

    Thus Profit is the Contribution Margin times Number of Units, minus the Total Fixed Costs. The above formula is derived as follows: From the perspective of the matching principle, one breaks down the revenue from a given sale into a part to cover the Unit Variable Cost, and a part to offset against the Total Fixed Costs. Breaking down Total ...

  5. Cost–volume–profit analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost–volume–profit...

    One can decompose total costs as fixed costs plus variable costs: = + Following a matching principle of matching a portion of sales against variable costs, one can decompose sales as contribution plus variable costs, where contribution is "what's left after deducting variable costs". One can think of contribution as "the marginal contribution ...

  6. Economic cost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_cost

    Variable cost: Variable costs are the costs paid to the variable input. Inputs include labor, capital, materials, power and land and buildings. Variable inputs are inputs whose use vary with output. Conventionally the variable input is assumed to be labor. [5] Total variable cost (TVC) is the same as variable costs. [5]

  7. Cost-plus pricing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost-plus_pricing

    Fig 1: Cost-plus pricing steps. Step 1: Calculating total cost. Total cost = fixed costs + variable costs. Fixed costs do not generally depend on the number of units, while variable costs do. Step 2: Calculating unit cost. Unit cost = (total cost/number of units) Step 3a: Calculating markup price. Markup price = (unit cost * markup percentage)

  8. Cost accounting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_accounting

    Cost accounting is defined by the Institute of Management Accountants as "a systematic set of procedures for recording ... the total variable cost for each coach was ...

  9. Cost curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_curve

    The total cost curve, if non-linear, can represent increasing and diminishing marginal returns.. The short-run total cost (SRTC) and long-run total cost (LRTC) curves are increasing in the quantity of output produced because producing more output requires more labor usage in both the short and long runs, and because in the long run producing more output involves using more of the physical ...
