•Potential for Mismanagement
•Failure to tie direct and indirect costs to individual product lines can cause firms to mismanage their businesses.
•Why Bain Uses PLP
• For which products should we increase prices? • Where should we focus our cost reduction efforts? • Which product lines should we drop? • Which products should we focus R&D efforts on? • Where should we provide sales incentives?
•Cost collection:
•Cost assigned to products:
•Typical accounting system
• By function
(e.g. R&D, advertising)
• Cost of goods sold
– direct labor – direct materials
commitment of resources and the returns for their use

•Bain PLP
• By product line
• All costs, including all
indirect costs – overhead – advertising – distribution
•Key product profitability measure: •Cost allocation method:
•Disadvantage:
• Gross margin
(revenue - cost of goods sold)
• Accounting standards
• Often does not reflect true

•Inappropriate Direct Cost Allocation
•Some accounting systems allocate direct costs to products based on original expectations about production results. These assumptions cannot account for changes in raw materials use and labor time.
• Tracked using
accounting standards
• Variances
sometimes not tracked by product
• All direct costs,
including variances, are tracked by product

in the production of the product or service. These costs can easily be identified with a particular product
