Explanation:
The term 'management costs' is used to differentiate between production-related/actual-factory-related costs and other costs. Raw-material, electricity, wages, processing - all these are production costs. To discrimate from these costs, all other indirect costs incurred in carrying out a business would ideally be termed 'management costs' - such as fees paid to consultants, administrative expenses, etc.
