Abstract—There are numerous factors that influence costs in practical work. Enterprises must explore cost reduction potentials, which must be grounded in comprehensive cost analysis. Understanding the patterns of cost changes and striving to reduce consumption are essential for improving economic benefits. Based on this, this paper discusses the cost analysis of comparable products, focusing on methods that are often difficult to master in cost analysis. The paper critically reviews conclusions in existing literature and textbooks, inferring that output changes only affect the cost reduction amount, but not the reduction rate. Additionally, the impact of changes in product mix on both the actual cost reduction amount and reduction rate is discussed. Furthermore, the variation in the reduction rate of individual products also influences the overall cost reduction amount. This paper organizes the relevant content in a clearer way, making it more accessible for scholars.

Keywords—comparable products cost analysis factor variation
