A discretionary cost refers to an expense that a company can adjust or eliminate without immediate impact on its operational capabilities. These costs are often associated with activities like advertising, research, and employee training, which management can modify based on budgetary constraints or strategic priorities. Unlike fixed or variable costs, discretionary costs are not essential for maintaining current production levels.
