Document Summary

These multiple classifications give rise to important cost combinations: Direct materials acquisition costs of all materials that will become part of the cost object. Direct labor compensation of all manufacturing labor that can be traced to the cost object. Indirect manufacturing factory costs that are not traceable to the product in an economically feasible way. Examples include lubricants, indirect manufacturing labor, utilities, and supplies. Prime cost is a term referring to all direct manufacturing costs (materials and labor). Conversion cost is a term referring to direct labor and indirect manufacturing costs. Overtime labor costs are considered part of indirect overhead costs. Because there are alternative ways for management to define and classify costs, judgment is required. Managers want to know how profits will change as the units sold of a product or service changes. Managers like to use what-if analysis to examine the possible outcomes of different decisions so they can make the best one.
