Total cost of acquisition  From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search  The Total Cost of Acquisition (TCA)
is a managerial accounting concept that includes all the costs
associated with buying goods, services, or assets.[1]
Generally, it is the net price plus other costs needed to
purchase the item and get it to the point of use. These other
costs can include: the item's purchasing costs (closing,
research, accounting, commissions, legal fees), transportation,
preparation and installation costs.[2]  Typically they do not
include training, system integration costs that might be
considered operational costs.  See also[edit]     1. ^ Standard
