False
no its a product cost
What arguments are there in favor of treating fixed manufacturing overhead costs as product costs? As period costs?
yes A cost that attaches to the physical units is termed a product cost. Product costs would include direct materials, direct manufacturing labor, and manufacturing overhead. Conversion cost is the cost involved in converting the direct materials into a finished product. It is composed of direct manufacturing labor and manufacturing overhead. Any cost that does not attach to the physical units would be termed a period cost and would be expensed as incurred. Therefore, a cost is either a period or a product cost. Electricity cost, whether variable or fixed, would be included in manufacturing overhead and classified as conversion costs, and therefore cannot be classified as a period cost.
A budget usually refers to a department'sor a company's projected revenues, costs, or expenses. A standard usually refers to a projected amount per unit of product, per unit of input (such as direct materials, factory overhead), or per unit of output.For example, a manufacturer will have budgets for its manufacturing or factory overhead departments. Let's assume that the budgeted manufacturing overhead for the upcoming year is expected to be $1,000,000 in order to produce the expected 100,000 identical units of product. The standard cost of manufacturing overhead per unit of product is $10 ($1,000,000 divided by 100,000 units). When the products are not identical, the $1,000,000 of manufacturing overhead might be divided by the expected number of machine hours required to manufacture the units of product. Assuming it will take 50,000 machine hours, the standard cost of the manufacturing overhead will be $20 per machine hour ($1,000,000 divided by 50,000 machine hours).

Salary of factory manager is Manufacturing overhead. and Manufacturing overhead is Product costs. So, It's not period cost.
Product cost classified further as a manufacturing overhead
no its a product cost

Product costs is the costs are the costs incurred in the making of the product. Manufacturing costs --Direct Materials, Direct Labor, and Manufacturing Overhead. Product cost are also factory costs Period costs are the selling and administration costs. Electricity costs for the Accounting dept. is an administration costs but Electricity costs for the factory is Manufacturing Overhead.

In absorption costing, overhead absorption rate or blanket rate is key to spread all overheads on production of volume of product, because if we don't have the overhead absorption rate manufacturing overhead cannot be spread or there is no basis for allocation of overheads on manufactured units.
