Direct Cost

Direct costs, one of the fundamental categorizations in business expenses, are explicitly associated with the production of goods and form a significant component of overall expenditure.

In the realm of organizational finances, direct costs are often characterized as variable costs, meaning they fluctuate in tandem with production levels, such as inventory fluctuations. Any expense directly linked to the production process falls under the umbrella of direct costs, providing a clear financial picture for businesses.
