    Q26
    All of the following may be a cost objects except:
    A a cost centre
    B a customer
    C a manager
    D a product
    -> I think the answer must be “B” because a customer is a revenue object.

    Q38 A company manufactures and sells toys and incurs the following three costs:
    (i) Rental of the finished goods warehouse
    (ii) Depreciation of its own fleet of delivery vehicles
    (ii) Commission paid to sales staff
    Which of these are classified as distribution costs?
    -> In this question my confusion is why commission paid to sales staff is not distribution cost?

    I do not have the Kaplan kit.

    However,

    Q26 A customer can be a cost object because there are costs involved in servicing the customer. (We don’t refer to anything as a revenue object)

    Q28 Commission paid to sales staff is a selling cost. Distribution is another word for delivery.

    Thank you sir,
    Q26 Cost is associated with a cost center and product as well. so, a manager is not a cost center but how?

    Q38 Rental of the finished goods warehouse is distribution cost but how sir?

    Q26 A cost centre is an ‘area’ where costs are gathered and incurred. A cost object is when the costs in the cost centre are ‘spread’ over the objects.

    Q38 Because it is a stop on the way of being delivered to the customer.

    I do suggest that you watch the free lectures on all of this 🙂

    Because there are likely to be several managers. The cost centre is where costs are incurred (for example maybe the offices). Then we would share that cost between each manager.
