pleasehelpI've been hearing costed a lot recently. Is that an appropriate past tense of cost?If you are hearing "costed" a lot, it may be because you are working in an accounting department. This is the only meaning of "to cost" which takes "costed" as its past and past participle.
Each requisition is costed on a regular periodic basis.

cost - cost - cost
It cost a lot of money.
It has cost a lot of money (up to now).
