Manufacturing Costs



Direct Materials

Those materials that become an integral partof the product and that can be conveniently

traced directly to it.

Example: A radio installed in an automobile



Direct Labor

Those labor costs that can be easily traced toindividual units of product.

Example: Wages paid to automobile assembly workers



Manufacturing costs that cannot be traceddirectly to specific units produced.

Manufacturing Overhead

Examples: Indirect labor and indirect materials

Wages paid to employeeswho are not directly

involved in productionwork.

Examples: maintenanceworkers, janitors and

security guards.

Materials used to supportthe production process.

Examples: lubricants andcleaning supplies used in theautomobile assembly plant.



Classifications of Costs

DirectMaterial

PrimeCost

ConversionCost

Manufacturing costs are oftenclassified as follows:



Nonmanufacturing Costs

Marketing and selling costs . . .Costs necessary to get the order and deliver the

product.

Administrative costs . . .All executive, organizational, and clerical costs.



Quick Check

Which of the following costs would beconsidered manufacturing overhead at Boeing?(More than one answer may be correct.)

A. Depreciation on factory forklift trucks.B. Sales commissions.

C. The cost of a flight recorder in a Boeing 767.

D. The wages of a production shift supervisor.



Product Costs Versus Period Costs

Product costs includedirect materials, direct

labor, andmanufacturing

overhead.

Period costs are notincluded in product

costs. They are

expensed on theincome statement.

the prior period.

As items are removed from rawmaterials inventory and placed into

the production process, they arecalled direct materials.

Direct Costs and Indirect Costs

Direct costs

Costs that can beeasily and convenientlytraced to a unit ofproduct or other costobjective.

Examples: directmaterial and direct labor

Indirect costs

Costs cannot be easilyand conveniently tracedto a unit of product orother cost object.

Example:manufacturingoverhead

Differential Costs and Revenues

Costs and revenues that differ amongalternatives.

Example: You have a job paying $1,500 per month in

your hometown. You have a job offer in a neighboringcity that pays $2,000 per month. The commuting costto the city is $300 per month.

Differential revenue is:

$2,000

$1,500 = $500

Differential cost is:$300

Quick Check

Suppose you are trying to decide whether todrive or take the train to Portland to attend aconcert. You have ample cash to do either, but

you dont want to waste money needlessly. Isthe cost of the pizza you ate last night relevantin this decision? In other words, should the costof the pizza affect the decision of whether you

drive or take the train to Portland?A. Yes, the cost of the pizza is relevant.

B. No, the cost of the pizza is not relevant.


45/51


Quick Check


you dont want to waste money needlessly. Isthe cost of the train ticket relevant in thisdecision? In other words, should the cost of thetrain ticket affect the decision of whether you

drive or take the train to Portland?A. Yes, the cost of the train ticket is relevant.

B. No, the cost of the train ticket is not relevant.

Note


46/51


Note

Every decision involves a choice fromamong at least two alternatives.

Only those costs and benefits that differbetween alternatives (i.E., Differentialcosts and benefits) are relevant in adecision. All other costs and benefits can

and should be ignored.


47/51


Quick Check


you dont want to waste money needlessly. Isthe annual cost of licensing your car relevant inthis decision?

A. Yes, the licensing cost is relevant.

B. No, the licensing cost is not relevant.


48/51


Quick Check


you dont want to waste money needlessly. Isthe depreciation on your car relevant in thisdecision?

A. Yes, the depreciation is relevant.

B. No, the depreciation is not relevant.


49/51


Opportunity Costs

The potential benefit that isgiven up when one alternativeis selected over another.

Example: If you werenot attending college,you could be earning

$15,000 per year.Your opportunity costof attending college forone year is $15,000.


50/51


Sunk Costs

Sunk costs cannot be changed by any decision.They are not differential costs and should beignored when making decisions.

Example: You bought an automobile that cost

$10,000 two years ago. The $10,000 cost issunk because whether you drive it, park it, tradeit, or sell it, you cannot change the $10,000 cost.


51/51

Quick Check

Suppose that your car could be sold now for$5,000. Is this a sunk cost?

A. Yes, it is a sunk cost.

B. No, it is not a sunk cost.
