Questions


1-1 The three major types of product costs yb yb yb yb yb yb 1-4
in a manufacturing company are direct
yb yb yb yb yb yb a. Variable cost: The variable cost per unit is yb yb yb yb yb yb yb




materials, direct labor, and manufacturing
yb yb yb yb yb constant, but total variable cost changes in

overhead.
yb direct proportion to changes in volume.

b. Fixed cost: The total fixed cost is constant

conveniently traced to it.

b. Indirect materials are generally small yb yb yb yb variable and fixed cost elements.
yb yb yb yb yb




items of material such as glue and nails. They
yb yb yb yb yb yb yb yb yb




may be an integral part of a finished product but
yb yb yb yb yb yb yb yb yb yb 1-5
their costs can be traced to the product only at

great cost or inconvenience.

can be easily traced to particular products.

Direct labor is also called ―touch labor.‖

d. Indirect labor consists of the labor costs yb yb yb yb yb yb activity level increases.

of janitors, supervisors, materials handlers, and

These labor costs are incurred to support

production, but the workers involved do not

directly work on the product.
yb yb yb yb yb way in which costs change in response to
yb yb yb yb yb yb yb yb




e. Manufacturing overhead includes all yb yb yb changes in a measure of activity such as
yb yb yb yb yb yb yb yb




manufacturing costs except direct materials and
yb yb yb yb yb yb sales volume, production volume, or orders
yb yb yb yb yb yb




direct labor. Consequently, manufacturing

overhead includes indirect materials and indirect

labor as well as other manufacturing costs.
yb yb yb yb yb yb yb range of activity within which assumptions
yb yb yb yb yb yb




about variable and fixed cost behavior are

of manufactured goods, these costs consist of

direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing
yb yb yb yb yb yb whatever causes the incurrence of a variable
yb yb yb yb yb yb yb




overhead. A period cost is a cost that is taken
yb yb yb yb yb yb yb yb yb yb cost. Examples of activity bases include units

directly to the income statement as an expense
