Document Summary

Chapter 2 - cost terms, concepts, and classifications. Each different use of cost requires a different classification and definition of costs. Most manufacturing companies divide costs into three broad categories: direct materials, direct labour, and manufacturing overhead. Raw materials refer to any materials used in the final/finished product. They can include both direct and indirect materials: ex. Car batteries are a raw material for bmw. Direct materials - materials that become an integral part of a finished product and can be conveniently traced to it. Indirect materials - small items of materials such as glue and nails that may become an integral part of a finished product but the costs of tracing them exceed the benefits. Direct labour - factory labour costs that can easily be traced to individual units of production. Indirect labour - the labour costs of janitors, supervisors, materials handlers, and other factory workers that cannot conveniently be traced directly to particular products.
