  14. Materials • Direct – • cost of materials that are an integral part of the product • Indirect – • Cost of materials that are not a significant portion of the total product cost

  15. Labor • Direct • Cost of wages of employees who are directly involved in the converting materials into the manufactured product • Indirect • Labor that do not enter directly into the manufacture of a product

  16. Factory Overhead • Costs other than direct materials cost and direct labor costs • Manufacturing overhead • Factory burden • Depreciation • utilities

  17. Manufacturing Formulas: • Prime Costs = Direct Material + Direct Labor • Conversion Costs = Direct Labor + Factory Overhead

  18. Example • Example: Suppose that direct materials are $5,000, direct labor is $4,000 and factory overhead is $3,000, what are prime costs and conversion costs? • Prime costs = direct material + direct labor • = $5,000 + 4,000 • = $9,000 • Conversion costs = direct labor + factory overhead • = $4,000 + $3,000 • = $7,000

  19. Example • Example: Suppose the direct materials are $3,000, prime costs are $5,000, conversion costs are $9,000, and factory overhead is $7,000. What are direct labor costs? • Prime costs = Direct materials + Direct Labor • $5,000 = $3,000 + DL • $2,000 = DL • Conversion costs = Direct labor + Factory overhead • $9,000 = $2,000 + FO • $7,000 = FO

  20. Product costs Direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead Associated with the production of the product Period costs Refer to expenditures identified more with a time period than with finished products. Selling and administrative expenses Costs

  22. Cost of Goods Sold • Beginning finished goods inventory • + cost of goods manufactured • Goods available for sale • Less Ending finished goods inventory • Cost of goods sold
