Such practice results in a more accurate accumulated cost for the object Generally accepted accounting principles require some costs to be treated as indirect. All of these answers are correct.

Managers often apply their own best judgement as a first step in the estimation process C. Results are likely to differ from method to method D. Large differences in methods suggest that the cost cannot be estimated.

The following statements are correct excerpt? O A. Only avoidable costs are relevant for decision making B. Incremental cost may include both variable and fixed costs OC. All irrelevant costs are sunk costs OD. All direct or indirect cost depends on the cost object
