When a discretionary cost is repetitive and can be related to some fundamental activity measure (such as machine hours or units of output), it may be treated like an engineered cost. With a repetitive cost that can be related to an activity base, performance standards can be developed and flexible budget variances can be computed and used as cost control tools.
