6. Service companies sell time, skills, and knowledge. Examples of service companies include phoneservice
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
companies, banks, cleaning service companies, accounting firms, law firms, medical physicians, and online
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
auction services.
f f
7. Merchandising companies resell products they buy from suppliers. Merchandisers keep an inventoryof
f f f f f f f f f f f f
products, and managers are accountable for the purchasing, storage, and sale of the products. Examples of
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
merchandising companies include toy stores, grocery stores, and clothing stores.
f f f f f f f f f f
8. Merchandising companies resell products they previously bought from suppliers, whereas manufacturing
f f f f f f f f f f
companies use labor, equipment, supplies, and facilities to convert raw materials intonew finished products.
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
In contrast to merchandising companies, manufacturing companies have a broad range of production
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
activities that require tracking costs on three kinds of inventory.
f f f f f f f f f f
9. The three inventory accounts used by manufacturing companies are Raw Materials Inventory, Work-in-
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
Process Inventory, and Finished Goods Inventory.
f f f f f
Raw Materials Inventory includes materials used to manufacture a product. Work-in-ProcessInventory
f f f f f f f f f f f
includes goods that have been started in the manufacturing process but are not yet complete. Finished
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
Goods Inventory includes completed goods that have not yet been sold.
f f f f f f f f f f f
10. A direct cost is a cost that can be easily and cost-effectively traced to a cost object (which is anything for
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
which managers want a separate measurement of cost). An indirect cost is a cost thatcannot be easily or
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
cost-effectively traced to a cost object.
f f f f f f
11. The three manufacturing costs for a manufacturing company are direct materials, direct labor, and
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
manufacturing overhead. Direct materials are materials that become a physical part of a finished product and
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
whose costs are easily traceable to the finished product. Direct labor is the labor cost ofthe employees who
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
convert materials into finished products. Manufacturing overhead includes all

, manufacturing costs except direct materials and direct labor, such as indirect materials, indirectlabor,f f f f f f f f f f f f f
factory depreciation, factory rent, and factory property taxes.
f f f f f f f f
12. Examples of manufacturing overhead include costs of indirect materials, indirect labor, repair
f f f f f f f f f f f
andmaintenance in factory, factory utilities, factory rent, factory insurance, factory property taxes,
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
manufacturing plant managers’ salaries, and depreciation on manufacturing buildings and equipment.
f f f f f f f f f f f
13. Prime costs are direct materials plus direct labor. Conversion costs are direct labor plus manufacturing
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
overhead. Note that direct labor is classified as both a prime cost and a conversioncost.
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
14. Product costs are the cost of purchasing or making a product. These costs are recorded as an asset and not
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
expensed until the product is sold. Product costs include direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
overhead.
f
15. Period costs are non-manufacturing costs that are expensed in the same accounting period in whichthey are
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
incurred, whereas product costs are recorded as an asset and not expensed until the accounting period in
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
which the product is sold.
f f f f f
16. Cost of Goods Manufactured is calculated as Beginning Work-in-Process Inventory +
f f f f f f f f f f
TotalManufacturing Costs Incurred during the Year – Ending Work-in-Process Inventory.
f f f f f f f f f f f
TotalManufacturing Costs Incurred during the Year = Direct Materials Used + Direct Labor +
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
Manufacturing Overhead.
f f
17. For a manufacturing company, the activity in the Finished Goods Inventory account provides
f f f f f f f f f f f f
theinformation for determining Cost of Goods Sold. A manufacturing company calculates Cost of
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
Goods Sold as Beginning Finished Goods Inventory + Cost of Goods Manufactured – Ending Finished
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
Good Inventory. In addition, a manufacturing company must track costs from Raw Materials Inventory
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
and Work-in-Process Inventory in order to compute Cost of Goods Manufactured used in the previous
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
equation.
f
For a merchandising company, the activity in the Merchandise Inventory account provides the information
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
for determining Cost of Goods Sold. A merchandising company calculates Cost of Goods Sold as Beginning
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
Merchandise Inventory + Purchases and Freight In – Ending MerchandiseInventory.
f f f f f f f f f f f
18. A manufacturing company calculates unit product cost as Cost of Goods Manufactured /
f f f f f f f f f f f f
Totalnumber of units produced.

19. A service company calculates unit cost per service as Total operating costs / Total number ofservices
