Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Uncontrollable costs are those that cannot be affected by a manager's decisions or actions. Therefore, it would not be fair to evaluate a manager based on those costs since they have no control over them. Instead, managers should focus on controlling the costs they can influence and improving performance in those areas.
