Depreciation is not a manufacturing labor rather it is manufacturing overhead as machines used in manufacturing is not part of labor rather it is part of overhead.
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.
Formula for prime cost = direct material + direct laborFormula for conversion cost = direct labor + manufacturing overheads
Division of labor A+
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 calculate manufacturing overhead allocated, first determine the total manufacturing overhead costs for the period, which can include indirect materials, indirect labor, and other overhead expenses. Next, select an appropriate allocation base, such as direct labor hours, machine hours, or units produced. Then, compute the overhead rate by dividing the total manufacturing overhead by the total units of the chosen allocation base. Finally, multiply the overhead rate by the actual amount of the allocation base used to determine the allocated manufacturing overhead.

Depreciation of manufacturing equipment is fixed cost because that cost will incurred no matter how much units produced.
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.
Fixed manufacturing cost is treated as period cost because it has to be incurred no matter there is any production or not like machinery depreciation or building depreciation etc these kinds of costs cannot be eleminate in short run.
Absorption costing, also known as full costing, categorizes costs into three major groups: direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. Direct materials include all raw materials used in production, while direct labor encompasses the wages of workers directly involved in manufacturing. Manufacturing overhead covers all indirect costs associated with production, such as utilities, depreciation, and maintenance of the production facility. This method ensures that all manufacturing costs are absorbed by the units produced, impacting inventory valuation and profit reporting.
a.k.a. Absorption Costing, is a method that includes direct manufacturing costs as well as indirect manufacturing costs such as machine depreciation and factory. (GAAP Required)
yes. The plant is used in the manufacturing process and tehrefor it is a direcct cost d

Direct labor cost is that labor which directly related with manufacturing of products like machine workers etc while indirect labor cost is that labor cost which directly not manufacturing product but required as well like line mangers or factory supervisors salary etc.
The cost of production typically includes several key items: direct materials, which are the raw materials used in creating a product; direct labor, which is the labor cost directly associated with manufacturing the product; and manufacturing overhead, which encompasses indirect costs such as utilities, maintenance, and depreciation of equipment. Additionally, costs such as rent for production facilities and insurance may also be included. Together, these elements provide a comprehensive view of the expenses incurred in producing goods.
