Document Summary

Cost object- anything for which cost data are desired. Examples of cost objects are products, customers, jobs, and parts of the organization such as departments or divisions. Costs are classified as either direct or indirect. Direct cost- a cost that can be easily and conveniently traced to a specified cost object. Ex: salary of sales managers, cost of paper (if for a specific customer) Indirect cost- a cost that cannot be easily and conveniently traced to a specified cost object. Ex: factory manager at a plant that makes various objects. Common cost- a cost that is incurred to support a number of cost objects but cannot be traced to them individually. Most manufacturing companies further separate their manufacturing costs into two direct cost categories: direct materials & direct labor. Direct materials- materials that become an integral part of a finished product and whose costs can be conveniently traced to it.
