Controllable Costs - Accounting

The video tutorial explains three types of costs: controllable, non-controllable, and partially controllable. Controllable costs are those a manager can change based on decisions, like a family's dining out budget. Non-controllable costs, such as rent, are fixed and hard to alter. Partially controllable costs, like food and gas, can be adjusted but not eliminated. The tutorial uses family budgeting examples to illustrate these concepts.
