6. Service companies sell time, skills, and knowledge. Examples of service companies include phone

service companies, banks, cleaning service companies, accounting firms, law firms, medical
V V V V V V V V V V V
physicians, and online auction services.

7. Merchandising companies resell products they buy from suppliers. Merchandisers keep an inventory of
V V V V V V V V V V V V
products, and managers are accountable for the purchasing, storage, and sale of the products. Examples
V V V V V V V V se V V V V V V V
of merchandising companies include toy stores, grocery stores, and clothing stores.

8. Merchandising companies resell products they previously bought from suppliers, whereas
V V V V V V V V V
en
manufacturing companies use labor, equipment, supplies, and facilities to convert raw materials into
V V V V V V V V V V V V V
new finished products. In contrast to merchandising companies, manufacturing companies have a
V V V V V V V V V V V V
is
broad range of production activities that require tracking costs on three kinds of inventory.

9. The three inventory accounts used by manufacturing companies are Raw Materials Inventory, Work- in-
V V V V V V V V V V V V V
Process Inventory, and Finished Goods Inventory.
V V V V V
Raw Materials Inventory includes materials used to manufacture a product. Work-in-Process Inventory
V V V V V V V V V V V
includes goods that have been started in the manufacturing process but are not yet complete. Finished
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V
Goods Inventory includes completed goods that have not yet been sold.

10. A direct cost is a cost that can be easily and cost-effectively traced to a cost object (which is anything
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V
for which managers want a separate measurement of cost). An indirect cost is a cost that cannot be
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V
easily or cost-effectively traced to a cost object.
V V V V V V V V
11. The three manufacturing costs for a manufacturing company are direct materials, direct labor, and
V V V V V V V V V V V V V
manufacturing overhead. Direct materials are materials that become a physical part of a finished
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V
product and whose costs are easily traceable to the finished product. Direct labor is the labor cost of the
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V
employees who convert materials into finished products. Manufacturing overhead includes all
V V V V V V V V V V V
manufacturing costs except direct materials and direct labor, such as indirect materials, indirect labor,
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V
factory depreciation, factory rent, and factory property taxes.

V V V V V V V V V V V
Vmanufacturing plant managers’ salaries, and depreciation on manufacturing buildings and
V V V V V V V V V
Vequipment.
13. Prime costs are direct materials plus direct labor. Conversion costs are direct labor plus
V V V V V V V V V V V V V
Vmanufacturing overhead. Note that direct labor is classified as both a prime cost and a conversion
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V
Vcost.
14. Product costs are the cost of purchasing or making a product. These costs are recorded as an asset and
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V
Vnot expensed until the product is sold. Product costs include direct materials, direct labor, and
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V
Vmanufacturing overhead. V
15. Period costs are non-manufacturing costs that are expensed in the same accounting period in which
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V
Vthey are incurred, whereas product costs are recorded as an asset and not expensed until the
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V
Vaccounting period in which the product is sold. V V V V V V V
16. Cost of Goods Manufactured is calculated as Beginning Work-in-Process Inventory + Total

17. For a manufacturing company, the activity in the Finished Goods Inventory account provides the
V V V V V V V V V V V V V
information for determining Cost of Goods Sold. A manufacturing company calculates Cost of

VMaterials Inventory and Work-in-Process Inventory in order to compute Cost of Goods

V V V V V V V V V V V V V
Vnumber of units produced. V V V
19. A service company calculates unit cost per service as Total operating costs / Total number of
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V
Vservices provided. V
20. A merchandising company calculates unit cost per item as Total cost of goods sold / Total number of
