Wait, are committed costs really irrelevant?

Committed costs sound familiar, but I’m not entirely sure if they’re always irrelevant. I need to double-check that.

I practiced a similar question where incremental costs were definitely relevant, so I guess that rules them out here.

I remember that sunk costs should never be considered in decision making, but I can't recall if variable overhead costs are relevant or not.

I think depreciation costs are definitely not relevant, but I'm a bit unsure about committed costs.

I'm not totally confident on this, but I think the key is to focus on the "short-term" part of the question. That means fixed costs like depreciation are probably not relevant. I'll give it my best shot.

Okay, I've got this. Depreciation, incremental, and committed costs are all relevant for short-term decisions, so the three irrelevant ones must be A, C, and E. Time to mark my answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know sunk costs are irrelevant, but the other options have me scratching my head. I'll have to review my notes on cost concepts.

This looks like a classic cost accounting question. I'll need to think carefully about the differences between relevant and irrelevant costs for short-term decision making.

Depreciation costs? Seriously? That's like trying to pay for a car you don't even own anymore. Short-term decisions should be all about the here and now.

Sunk costs? That's a no-brainer! I'm not paying for something that's already happened. It's like trying to un-spill milk, you know?
