products. Examples of merchandising companies include toy stores, grocery stores, and clothing
stores.
8. Merchandising companies resell products they previously bought from suppliers, whereas
manufacturing companies use labor, equipment, supplies, and facilities to convert raw

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

anything for which managers want a separate measurement of cost). An indirect cost is a
cost thatcannot be easily or cost-effectively traced to a cost object.
11. The three manufacturing costs for a manufacturing company are direct materials, direct labor,
and manufacturing overhead. Direct materials are materials that become a physical part of a
finished product and whose costs are easily traceable to the finished product. Direct labor is
the labor cost of the employees who convert materials into finished products. Manufacturing
overhead includes all manufacturing costs except direct materials and direct labor, such as
indirect materials, indirect labor, factory depreciation, factory rent, and factory property taxes.
