    An avoidable cost is a cost that can beeliminated, in whole or in part, by choosing

    one alternative over another. Avoidable costs

    are relevant costs. Unavoidable costs areirrelevant costs.

    Two broad categories of costs are never relevant in

    any decision. They include:un! costs.

    A future cost that does not differ between thealternatives.

    5owever, the cost of gasoline is clearly relevant if shedecides to drive. If she ta!es the train, the cost would

    not be incurred, so it varies depending on the decision.

    The annual cost ofinsurance is not

    relevant. It will remainthe same if she drives

    The monthly schoolpar!ing fee is not

    #otal and Di""erential Cost A''roa%hes

    Using the differential cost approach isdesirable for two reasons:

    1. nly rarely will enough information beavailable to prepare detailed incomestatements for both alternatives.

    2. (ingling irrelevant costs with relevant costs

    may cause confusion and distract attentionaway from the information that is reallycritical.

    Joint costs are irrelevant in decisions regardingwhat to do with a product from the splitoff point

    forward. Therefore, these costs should not beallocated to end products for decisionma!ing

    purposes.

    8ith respect to sell or process further decisions, it isprofitable to continue processing a Roint product

    after the splitoff point so long as the incrementalrevenue from such processing e#ceeds the

    incremental processing costs incurred after thesplitoff point.
