COST CLASSIFICATIONS
AS TO TRACEABILITY (Cost
Object) DIRECT VS INDIRECT COST
1. As to traceability to cost object (anything that makes you incur a cost):
a. Direct Cost - feasible to be traced to the cost object
b. Indirect Cost - not feasible to be traced to the cost object
Examples:
Materials
• Timber, for example, is a direct material in a factory that makes furniture. In a shoe-making
company, leather is a direct material, and so is silk/cotton in a factory that makes clothes.
• Cleaning chemicals, protective devices, glue, oil, and disposable tools, i.e., consumables, are
usually indirect materials. We use soap, for example, to clean the factory floor, but not to make
furniture. Therefore, soap is an indirect material.
Labor
• Labor involved in production rather than administration, maintenance, and other support services
are direct.
• For example, suppose your factory requires maintenance workers to mop the floors. You can’t really
tie a specific amount of floor cleaning to every individual product you make, so you label the
cleaning cost as indirect.
Q&A
TRUE OR FALSE
3. Bookbinder of a commercial printer/publisher is classified as indirect labor cost.
4. The salary of a foreman in an automobile company's assembly division is a direct product
cost.
5. Direct material refers to all materials used in the production of a product.
Q&A COST OBJECT: SPECIFIC PRODUCT
Classify the following costs as (D) direct costs or (ID) indirect costs in relation to a specific product.
Q&A
COST OBJECT: A DEPARTMENT
Classify the following costs as (D) direct costs or (ID) indirect costs in relation to a
manufacturing company with three production departments and assuming Finishing
Department is the cost object.
1. Salary of Finishing Department’s supervisor
2. Depreciation on Finishing Department’s equipment
3. Salary of company’s research/development staff
4. Salary of production departments’ security personnel
5. Salary of production manager
6. Factory supplies used in Finishing Department
7. Salary of production departments’ maintenance personnel
8. Wages of Finishing Department’s workers
9. Salary of production departments’ clerk
10.Depreciation on office computer

COST CLASSIFICATIONS
AS TO REPORTING
PURPOSES PRODUCT VS PERIOD COST
2. As to reporting purposes:
a. Product cost: This refers to cost that forms part of the product, thus the cost of unit unsold is
presented under inventory section in the statement of financial position while the cost of unit sold is
presented under cost of sales section in the income statement.
b. Period cost: This refers to cost that is expensed immediately in the period it is incurred, thus the
entire cost is presented under operating expenses section in the income statement.
COST CLASSIFICATIONS
AS TO REPORTING
PURPOSES PRODUCT VS PERIOD COST
1. PRODUCT COSTS (Inventoriable or manufacturing costs) are costs associated with the production
of products that are recognized for financial reporting when they are sold.
a. DIRECT MATERIALS – represents the reasonable cost of materials that can be identified directly
with the product.
b. DIRECT LABOR - cost of the labor time spent on that product (directly working on the product)
c. MANUFACTURING OVERHEAD - all production costs other than direct labor and direct
materials (indirect manufacturing costs)
2. PERIOD COSTS (nonmanufacturing costs) are costs associated with marketing and administrative
expenses, not related to production of products.
a. DISTRIBUTION COSTS (SELLING EXPENSES)
b. GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Q&A
TRUE OR FALSE
6. Direct material refers to all materials used in the production of a product.
7. Product costs are those that can be traced back to a specific product and are included in inventory
values.
8. A factory's insurance can be classified as a period cost.
9. Product costs affect only the income statement.
10. Manufacturing overhead usually subdivided into three categories: indirect materials, indirect
labor, and other manufacturing overhead.
Q&A Tell whether the following items are Product or Period cost.
Example: BFAR Tire Manufacturing currently produces 2,000 tires per month. The
following per unit data apply for sales to regular customers (based on 2,000 tires):
Direct materials 20
Direct manufacturing labor 3 1. Compute the total variable cost of
Variable manufacturing overhead 6 producing 3,000 tires.
Fixed manufacturing overhead 10 2. Compute the total fixed cost of
Total manufacturing costs 39 producing 3,000 tires.
Q&A
11. When 10,000 units are produced, variable costs are P 6 per
unit. Therefore, when 20,000 units are produced:
A. Variable costs will total P 120,000
B. Variable costs will total P 60,000
C. Unit variable costs will increase to P 12 per unit
D. Unit variable costs will decrease to P 3 per unit
Q&A Tell whether the following items are Variable or Fixed cost.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF A
MANUFACTURING BUSINESS
Financial statements represent the output of financial reporting.
Inventories (Manufacturing)
a. Raw materials inventory: This refers to cost of materials, whether direct or indirect, which
remain unused as of reporting date. Raw materials refer to resources used as inputs in the
production process for conversion into finished goods.
b. Work-in-process inventory: This refers to cost of partially-completed goods which
remain on-hand as of reporting date.
c. Finished goods inventory: This refers to cost of completed goods which remain unsold
as of reporting date.

Finished goods 24,000 27,000
Q&A
BFAR Company is a manufacturing concern using the perpetual inventory system. The following data
is provided:
• Beginning balance, P275,000
• Purchased materials, P860,000
• Indirect materials issued to production, P5,000.
• Excess of ending inventory over beginning inventory, 55,000
How much is the cost of materials issued (used) to production?
Cost of Sales
Total manufacturing costs is the sum of costs of all resources consumed in the process of making a
product. The manufacturing cost is classified into three categories: direct materials cost, direct labor
cost and manufacturing overhead.
Direct Materials are the traceable matter used in manufacturing a product. It is the cost of the raw materials
and components used to create a product.
Direct labor costs are the wages or salaries paid to employees who physically produce products. In other
words, these expenses are the costs paid to workers who make the products that manufactures sell.
Manufacturing overhead comprises of indirect materials, indirect employee cost and indirect expenses
which are not directly identifiable or allocable to a cost object. Overheads may defined as the aggregate of
the cost of indirect material, indirect labor and such other expenses including services as cannot
conveniently be charged directly to specific cost units. Other term: Factory Overhead
Examples of Manufacturing Overhead: Indirect Materials, Indirect Labor, Factory utilities, Factory
Depreciation, Factory Supervisor Salaries, Factory insurance or any cost related to factory except direct
materials and direct labor.
Cost of Sales
Total manufacturing costs is the sum of costs of all resources consumed in the process of making a
product. The manufacturing cost is classified into three categories: direct materials cost, direct labor
cost and manufacturing overhead.
Cost of Sales
PRIME AND CONVERSION COSTS
In cost accounting, the term for the sum of the direct materials and direct labor is prime cost.
• Prime cost reflects the primary source of costs of units in production. The total of direct labor and
manufacturing overhead is often called conversion costs.
• Conversion cost indicates the costs required to convert the raw materials into finished products.
The following systems maybe used in accumulating a product’s cost (input Measurement
Basis)
1. Actual Cost system (Historical) - Assigns actual costs to direct materials, direct labor, and
manufacturing overhead
2. Normal Cost System - Commonly used, computes total manufacturing costs based on
actual costs of direct materials and direct labor, and applied manufacturing overhead cost.
3. Standard cost system - Assigns standard or budgeted costs to all manufacturing costs.
The Standard cost system will be discussed in advanced cost accounting courses.
Normal Cost System
APPLIED MANUFACTURING OVERHEAD = PREDETERMINED OVERHEAD RATE X
ACTUAL SPECIFIED ACTIVITY
The primary purpose of overhead rate is to charge a fair share of overhead cost to each costs. The common bases
are as follows:
• Direct Labor costs
• Direct Labor hours
• Direct material costs
• Machine hours
• Units of Production
Solution:
1. The predetermined rate is P480,000/P20,000 = P24 per machine hour.
2. BFAR Company used a predetermined overhead rate last year of P2 per direct labor hour, based
on an estimate of 25,000 direct labor hours to be worked during the year. Actual costs and activity
during the year were:
Actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred P47,000
Actual direct labor hours worked .......... 24,000
Compute the applied manufacturing overhead.
• Aren’t we supposed to account the actual costs since
applied is only based on estimates?
• What happens to the actual costs if the normal cost system
is used?
• What happens to the difference between actual and
applied costs?
Normal Cost System
At the end of the year, any balance of under or overapplied manufacturing overhead is closed
to COGS (write off approach). Thus, the balance will not appear at the end-of-year statement of
Financial Position. This will be discussed in the advanced cost accounting courses.
Normal Cost System
Actual 4,180,000
Applied (60 X 65,000) 3,900,000
Underapplied overhead 280,000
Q&A
1. BFAR Company has the following estimated costs for next year:
Direct materials .................... P15,000
