True. Because indirect meterial is spend on the production of different products and cannot specifically allocated to one product because of not specific information available about the usage of indirect meterial with regards to specific product in production process.
Would overhead include indirect materials and indirect labor?
No. Cost would include the cost of materials. Overhead would not.
plant overhead cost, also called manufacturing overhead or factory burden, is the total cost involved in operating all production facilities of a manufacturing business. It generally applies to indirect labor and indirect cost, it also includes all costs involved in manufacturing with the exception of the cost of raw materials and direct labor. Factory overhead also includes certain costs such as quality assurance costs, cleanup costs, and property insurance premiums

The manufacturing overhead budget show the expected manufacturing over head costs for the budget period. The budget distinguishes between variable and fixed overhead costs. Companies fluctuate with production volume on the basis of the following rates per direct labor hour: indirect materials $1.00, indirect labor $1.40, utilities $0.40, and maintenance $0.20. Thus, for 6,200 direct labor hours budgeted indirect materials are $6,200 (6,200 x $1), and budgeted indirect labor is $8,680 (6,200 x $1.40). The company recognizes that some maintenance is fixed. The amounts reported for fixed cost are assumed.

Manufacturing Cost: There are three major component of manufacturing cost.Such as : DIRECT Material: those material s that become an integral part of the product and that can be conveniently traced directly to it. Direct Labor:- those labor costs that can be easily traced to individual units of product. Manufacturing Overhead: Manufacturing costs that can not be traced directly to specific unit product.Example indirect materials,indirect labor. Indirect Labor: Wages paid to employees who are not directly involved in production:work. Example:-maintenance worker janitors and security grads. Indirect Materials: Materials used to support the production process. Example:- Lubricants and clearing supplies used in the automobile assembly plant.
Indirect labor is part of overhead costs and included in total product cost.
Overheads costs are indirect manufacturing costs which are not directly allocatable to units of products.
If the estimated materials, labor or overhead costs allocated for a manufacturing order is different from the actual cost of the MO then the potential result is a Manufacturing Overhead Variance.
Prime cost = direct materials + direct laborwhile conversion cost = direct labor + factory overhead( which includes indirect materials, indirect labor and other indirect costs
Direct labor are not part of overhead costs and shown separately while indirect labor are part of overhead costs and included in overhead cost because those labor cannot be allocated separately or identifiable separately.
