Direct material is never be a period cost because it is required to manufacture units of products so it is product cost and it can only be a period cost when there is no production of goods but there is a material expenses which is not possible.
Beginning Direct Materials Add: Materials purchased during period Less: Materials Used during period Equals: Ending Direct Materials
prime cost = direct labour cost + direct material cost + direct expenses
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.
No, Conversion cost is the sum of direct labor cost and manufacturing overhead cost.
Direct labor is a product cost as it is required to manufacture the units of product, Direct Labor may be a period cost in that period where there is no production but management still paying the labor all salaries and wages.
Beginning Direct Materials Add: Materials purchased during period Less: Materials Used during period Equals: Ending Direct Materials
The direct materials budget shows the quantity and cost of direct materials to be purchased. The budgeted cost of direct materials to be purchased is then computed by multiplying the rquired units of direct materials by the anticipated cost per unit. Inadequate inventories could result in a temporary shutdown of production.
prime cost = direct labour cost + direct material cost + direct expenses
Sum of direct materials and direct labor
A direct cost for material management would be the cost of the materials themselves. A hidden cost would be the cost to ship the materials or to store the materials until they are needed for production.
Prime cost = direct materials + direct laborwhile conversion cost = direct labor + factory overhead( which includes indirect materials, indirect labor and other indirect costs

the cost of direct materials which can be easily identified with the unit of production. For example, the cost of glass is a direct materials cost in light bulb manufacturing. Hope this helps!👍
Direct labor is a product cost as it is required to manufacture the units of product, Direct Labor may be a period cost in that period where there is no production but management still paying the labor all salaries and wages.
Direct labor and direct materials are the two main components of prime cost. Another component of prime cost is direct expense.
The unit cost for direct materials is computed by adding the materials cost in the beginning work in process inventory to the materials cost for the month divided by the total equivalent production figure.Conversion cost per unit is computed by adding direct labor and factory overhead divided by the total equivalent production figure.
