Good stress, also known in the scientific community as eustress, may be just the thing you need to get job done at work. âThink about a deadline: Itâs staring you in the face, and itâs going to stimulate your behavior to really manage the situation effectively, rapidly, and more productively,â says Dr. Shelton.
Direct costs can include fixed and variable costs. Direct fixed costs can be easily traced to cost objects and do not vary with the level of production. Direct variable costs vary with production levels. For example, suppose the engineering department of a company is producing a new technology device.
The difference between overhead costs and production costs is important to planning and budgeting. Fixed costs are always identified first when creating a budget so a base cost can be established. It is often difficult to cut fixed costs either in overhead or production. Variable costs are the difficulty that causes risk in a company by making budgeting difficult. If budgeting is inaccurate, the company may incur costs that decrease profits.
