But if you've ever felt intimidated by the subject's jargon or concepts, you can stop worrying. Cost accounting is for everyone!

In Cost Accounting For Dummies, you'll be taken step-by-step through the basic and advanced topics found in a typical cost accounting class, from how to define costs and how to allocate them to products or services. You'll learn how to determine if a capital expenditure is worth it and how to design a budget model that forecasts changes in costs based on activity levels.

  • Simple methods to evaluate business risks and rewards
  • Explanations of how to manage and control costs during periods of business change and pivots
