Life Cycle Costing and Target Costing

Life cycle costing: estimates and accumulates the cost of a product/service over its entire life, from inception to abandonment. It helps determine whether the profits generated during the production phase cover all the life cycle costs. This information helps managers to make decisions about future product service development and the need for cost control during the development phase. 

Target costing: Concerned with managing whole of life costs during the design phase of the product lifecycle . It involves:

  • determining the target price that customers are willing to pay
  • deducting a target profit margin to determine the target cost
  • estimiating the actual cost of the product
  • investingating ways of reducing the estimated cost to the target cost.
