Abstract

<p>Firm value is determined by the future free cash flow and the discount rate that reflects the firm risks. Recent studies reveal that a firm’s cost structure is closely linked to its risk. This study discusses the association between a firm’s cost structure and risk, and highlights the importance of focusing on management incentives to examine these cost structures in management accounting. Further, I examine empirical literature on asymmetric cost behavior, especially regarding the asymmetric CVP model, in which management incentives serve as key factors in studying cost structures. Finally, I suggest that the theory of the firm as the cost function and agency-theory model should be analyzed in a unified framework.</p>
