product cost
In the US, the answer depends on what depreciable assets you are talking about.Depreciation on any depreciable asset that is directlyused in the production of goods is part of Manufacturing Overhead, and therefore is a product cost, which is included in the calculation of the value of both inventory and cost of goods sold. So, depreciation on a factory building and factory equipment directly used to manufacture a product are both product costs.Conversely, depreciation on equipment that is NOTdirectly used in production (e.g., depreciation on office computer equipment) is NOT a product cost.
Yes depreciation is included in contribution income statement as depreciation is part of fixed cost of company.
No depreciation is not included as depreciation is allocation of part of assets cost to income statement while in capital budgeting, full cost of asset is already included so if depreciation will also be included then there would be double counting of same asset.
Yes depreciation of delivery truck is period cost because it is not product cost as it is not require to make the units of product.
Depreciation is a period cost and not a product cost as depreciation is still charged even if there is no production or sale of goods.

period cost
Depreciation is an indirect cost as there is no separate identification in product cost that which cost is depreciation as deprecation is a overhead cost that’s why it is indirect cost.
Only depreciation for all those fixed assets which directly involve in manufacturing of production volume is part of direct cost while all other depreciation is not part of direct cost and included in indirect cost classification.
If factory building is used in production of units of product then it will be added to product cost as it is part of product to manufacture.
Depreciation of administrative equipment is period cost because if production is done or not those assets will be depreciated hence cost will be charged as period cost.
