What is differrence between controllable and avoidable cost?
10y ago#1A controllable cost is one that is controlled by the divisional manager (as opposed to being controlled by the head office).
An avoidable cost is a cost that would not exist were the division to be closed (or if a product were to be stopped being produced) - whether or not that cost is controlled by the relevant manager.
