Any organization should have a cost system by which it can assign the various costs to various cost objects that is for the main reason WHICH IS pricing each provided product that is produced by the company

While doing this, the organization will face two main types of costs:

In direct cost:
 any cost that can't be traced to a certain product and should be allocated over the products according to an allocation base



FOR EXAMPLE
