Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Selon cette méthode, tous les coûts fixes sont passés immédiatement en charges et, par le fait même, sont considérés comme des «charges non incorporables». La méthode est appliquée essentiellement aux charges de production, mais elle peut aussi s'appliquer à toutes les charges, y compris les frais de vente, d'administration et de financement. Le terme «direct costing», que l'on emploie parfois en français, établit, par définition, une distinction entre les «coûts variables» et les «coûts fixes» et n'a aucun lien avec la notion de «coût direct». 2, record 5, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20des%20co%C3%BBts%20variables

Fixing the selling price of additional units with reference to the marginal cost of manufacturing the unit ... 1, record 7, English, - marginal%2Dcost%20pricing
Record number: 7, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The theory of marginal pricing is that, after a company's total fixed and variable costs have been covered by the existing volume of production, the cost of producing an extra unit of production, ie marginal production, will only be the total variable cost of producing and selling that unit. In such circumstances, the selling prices of additional units could be reduced, if necessary, to match the total variable cost without any loss of profit to the company. Any amount by which the selling price exceeds the variable cost of marginal output could then be an extra or marginal contribution to the company's net profits or cash flow. 1, record 7, English, - marginal%2Dcost%20pricing
