What are you trying to achieve with such a plot? A stacked bar chart only allows easy comparisons of cumulative totals (eg. cost 1, or cost 1 + 2, or cost 1 + 2 + 3) and it will be very difficult to compare individual cost types or components within a type. You might want to think about a series of line plots instead.
