the
essential
function
of
converting

Unit 15
In fact, manufacturing costs can be
reclassified in many different ways depending
on
the
final
goal
of
a
particular
cost
analysis
.However,
the
most
common
and
basic
cost
classification scheme associated with cost
accounting is the grouping of
manufacturing
costs
into
three
elements:
direct
material
costs,
direct
labor
costs
,
or
indirect
manufacturing
costs
(factory
overhead
).
Direct
costs
are
traceable
to
specific products, whereas indirect
costs must be assigned to products by some
allocation method.
实务中,
按照特定成本最终分析目标,
制造成本能够用许多不同方法分类。
然而与成本会计
相关的最通用、
最基本的方法是
将制造成本集中起来分为三要素:
直接材料成本、
直接人工
p>
成本和间接制造成本(工厂间接费用)
。直接成本可追溯于某种特定
产品,而间接成本必须
按照一定方法分配给产品。
