Manufacturing costs are typically classified into three main categories: direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. Direct materials refer to the raw materials that are directly used in the production of goods. Direct labor includes the wages of workers who are directly involved in the manufacturing process. Manufacturing overhead encompasses all other indirect costs, such as utilities, maintenance, and depreciation related to the manufacturing facility and equipment.

If the amount of loss in a manufacturing process is abnormal is it classified as a period cost?
Yes and charged to a separate account, such as Loss from abnormal Spoilage, and are shown as a separate item of expense on the current income. These losses do not become a part of the manufacturing costs trasferred to finished goods and cost of goods sold.
What are direct material manufacturing costs?
direct material manufacturing cost is that raw material cost which is used to manufacture goods like wood in furniture.
What is One potential cause of Total Manufacturing Overhead Variance?
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.
To cut costs and increase output a new process was established. What was this process in manufacturing called?
To cut costs and increase output a new manufacturing process called automation was created. With automation came lower labor cost, increased productivity, and improved quality.
Manufacturing overhead combined with direct labor forms prime costs?
Formula for prime cost = direct material + direct laborFormula for conversion cost = direct labor + manufacturing overheads
What manufacturing costs that are assigned to completed but unsold products can classified as?
All manufacturing costs that are assigned to completed (but unsold) products should be classified as
What costs other than direct materials costs and direct labor costs incurred in the manufacturing process are classified as?
Indirect costs(salaries, materials not directly involved in manufacturing), period costs(selling and admin costs)
What are Wages paid to inspectors factory accountants and plant supervisors are classified as?
Wages paid to inspectors, factory accountants, and plant supervisors are classified as indirect labor costs. These costs are part of manufacturing overhead, as they support the production process but are not directly involved in the creation of products. Indirect labor costs are essential for maintaining operational efficiency and ensuring quality control in the manufacturing environment.
Are utilities period costs?
Utilities are typically considered period costs when they are not directly tied to the production of goods. In a manufacturing context, utility costs associated with the production facility may be classified as product costs, while those related to administrative or selling functions are treated as period costs. Thus, whether utilities are classified as period costs depends on their specific use within the business.
Transportation costs incurred by a manufacturing company to ship its product to its customers would be classified as which of the following a. Product cost b. Manufacturing overhead c. Period cost?

What two major functional categories are costs subdivided into?

How can costs be classified?
start-up costs
What are the manufacturing costs of fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs?
The costs of manufacturing costs of fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs are about the same aside from the slight different materials.
The variable portion of the semi variable cost of electricity for a manufacturing plant is a conversion cost?
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.
What is a manufacturing cost variance?
manufacturing cost refers to varaiable costs
How fixed manufacturing overhead costs shifted from one period to another under absorption costing.?
What arguments are there in favor of treating fixed manufacturing overhead costs as product costs? As period costs?
What are supply chain costs?
Supply chain costs are operating costs associated with business functions related to the procurement, manufacturing and distribution of a product. On the contrary, costs associated with overhead functions, sales, promotion and marketing are not considered supply chain costs. The term is not strictly defined and definitions may vary by industry and situation. For example, delivery costs are sometimes classified as sales costs, rather than supply chain costs.
