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
|physicians, | and |online |auction |services.
7. Merchandising |companies |resell |products |they |buy |from |suppliers. |Merchandisers |keep |an
|inventoryof | products, |and |managers |are |accountable |for |the |purchasing, |storage, |and |sale |of |the
|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 |materials
|into | new |finished |products. |In |contrast |to |merchandising |companies, |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.
10. A |direct |cost |is |a |cost |that |can |be |easily |and |cost-effectively |traced |to |a |cost |object |(which |is
|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.
