ADMINISTRATIVE COST

Administrative costs are necessarily included for the economic analysis to be complete.

These are expenses that an organization incurs not directly tied to a specific function such as

manufacturing/production or sales. These expenses are related to the organization as a whole as

opposed to an individual department. Salaries of senior executives and costs of general services

such as accounting are examples of administrative expenses.

DISTRIBUTION AND MARKETING COSTS

Distribution and marketing costs are expenses incurred in the process of selling and

distributing the finished products. These expenses vary widely for different types of plans

depending on the particular material being produced, other products sold by the company, plant

location, and company policies. These costs usually range from 2%-20% of the total product cost.
