management accounting is fun

in preparation for next week's test shoulderpads went through a few questions with us. she's called shoulderpads because, well, in this time and age....
....yes.

Q: describe the difference between a direct cost and an indirect cost where the cost object is a responsibility centre (department).
include in your answer an example of a cost that would be classified as a direct cost if the cost object is a department but an indirect cost if the cost object is a product.

A: my box of condoms is a direct cost to me because i paid for it and an indirect cost to you because you didn't, but if you like i could arrange for your sponsorship and make you the responsibility centre.

disclaimer: only that part of the lesson was fun, the rest was boring shit. i'm not rabid enough to feign fondness for this subject. shit.

watched role models. well i wanted to link a trailer video here, but none of those on youtube did the show any justice.
if you've watched it i needn't explain, if you haven't i can't begin to.
