    b. it can be traced to a division in a cost effective manner.

    Explanation:

    Direct costs are those costs which can be directly attributable to a product, activity or a department. For example, direct material or direct labor are direct costs.

    These refer to those costs which are incurred specifically for a product, service or incurred for a particular department. Usually such costs are variable i. e they usually vary with the level of production.

    Direct costs can be specifically traced so they need not be allocated to any product or a department.
