Actual cost is the total amount of materials, labor costs, and any directly associated overhead costs that can be charged to a specific project. This is different from the standard cost, although both approaches are often used to evaluate the profitability of a given project.
The Costs of Production. In economic terms, the true cost of something is what one has to give up in order to get it. This includes explicit monetary costs of course, but it also includes implicit non-monetary costs such as the cost of one's time, effort, and foregone alternatives.or example, if the total cost of producing 3 units of output is $15 and the total cost of producing 4 units of output is $17, the marginal cost of the 4th unit (or the marginal cost associated with going from 3 to 4 units) is just ($17-$15)/(4-3) = $2.
