Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Discretionary costs are those that are not absolutely necessary for production and marketing, such as advertising or employee training. Reducing these costs for a period of time may not significantly impact the overall operations and can help the company save money in the short-term. Committed costs, sunk costs and opportunity costs cannot be easily cut without serious consequences to the business.
