    Machine parts are assembled in a factory. One of the components used to assemble machine part component C26.
    Which of the following could be an example of a cost centre in the factory?

    A. A unit of component C26
    B. The cost per unit of machine part MP12
    C. The assembly department
    D. A unit of machine part MP12

    Do not know answer. Confused between A and C.

    A cost centre is a department within a business to which costs can be allocated.

    It’s a place not a thing

    I have read that cost centre can be function, place, person or any machine on which cost can be accumulated.

    Exactly same point. A cost centre can be item of equipment. I am too confused.

    An machine is a place; a person can be too. An item of inventory isn’t a place: it is the output of a number of places whether they are departments, branches, teams, individuals or machines.
