ACCT 002 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Income Statement, Direct Labor Cost
Document Summary
The total product cost equals the sum of direct materials, direct labour, and manufacturing overhead: Total product cost = direct materials cost + The unit product cost equals total product cost divided by the number of units produced: Per-unit cost = total product cost number of units produced. Product costs of direct materials, direct labour, and manufacturing overhead can be grouped into prime cost and conversion cost: Prime cost is the sum of direct materials cost and direct labor cost. Prime cost = direct materials + direct labour. Conversion cost is the sum of direct labour cost and manufacturing overhead cost. Conversion cost = direct labour + manufacturing overhead. Costs of production are assets that are carried in inventories until the goods are sold. Other costs, such as period costs, are not carried in inventory. Period costs are all costs that are not product costs (i. e. , all areas of the value chain except for production).
