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




service companies, banks, cleaning service companies, accounting firms, law firms, medical physicians,
m m m m m m m m m m m m




and online auction services.
m m m m




7. Merchandising companies resell products they buy from suppliers. Merchandisers keep an inventoryof
m m m m m m m m m m m




products, and managers are accountable for the purchasing, storage, and sale of the products. Examples
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




of merchandising companies include toy stores, grocery stores, and clothing stores.
m m m m m m m m m m m




8. Merchandising companies resell products they previously bought from suppliers, whereas
m m m m m m m m m




manufacturing companies use labor, equipment, supplies, and facilities to convert raw materials into
m m m m m m m m m m m m m




new finished products. In contrast to merchandising companies, manufacturing companies have a
m m m m m m m m m m m m




broad range of production activities that require tracking costs on three kinds of inventory.
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




9. The three inventory accounts used by manufacturing companies are Raw Materials Inventory, Work-in-
m m m m m m m m m m m m




Process Inventory, and Finished Goods Inventory.
m m m m m m




Raw Materials Inventory includes materials used to manufacture a product. Work-in-ProcessInventory
m m m m m m m m m m




mincludes goods that have been started in the manufacturing process but are not yet complete. Finished
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




mGoods Inventory includes completed goods that have not yet been sold.
m m m m m m m m m m




10. A direct cost is a cost that can be easily and cost-effectively traced to a cost object (which is anything
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




for which managers want a separate measurement of cost). An indirect cost is a cost thatcannot be
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




easily or cost-effectively traced to a cost object.
m m m m m m m m




11. The three manufacturing costs for a manufacturing company are direct materials, direct labor, and
m m m m m m m m m m m m m




manufacturing overhead. Direct materials are materials that become a physical part of a finished
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




product and whose costs are easily traceable to the finished product. Direct labor is the labor cost of
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




the employees who convert materials into finished products. Manufacturing overhead includes all
m m m m m m m m m m m m




manufacturing costs except direct materials and direct labor, such as indirect materials, indirect labor,
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




factory depreciation, factory rent, and factory property taxes.
