Part 1: Assume were operating a company that produces and sells baked goods to retail outlets. The companys infrastructure consists of a leased factory (production) facility where all of the baking is done, and there are sales and administrative offices located in a separate building leased at another location. Identify whether each of the following expense items for this company would be categorized as a PRODUCT COST or a PERIOD COST by placing an X in the appropriate box for each item. Note that each type of expense is either a product cost or a period cost, but not both. The first item has already been completed for you.

Expense Item	PRODUCT COST	PERIOD COST
Factory insurance	X
Company presidents salary
Bakers wages
Depreciation expense on bake ovens
Factory utilities
Factory lease
Advertising costs
Factory supervisors salaries
Sales commissions
Flour used in baking bread

Part 2: For the same company and scenario described in Part 1 above, identify whether each of the following expense items for this company would be categorized as a DIRECT COST or an INDIRECT COST by placing an X in the appropriate box for each item. Note that each type of expense is either a direct cost or an indirect cost, but not both. The first item has already been completed for you.

Expense Item	DIRECT COST	INDIRECT COST
Factory insurance		X
Bakers wages
Eggs used for baking
Depreciation expense on bake ovens
Factory lease
Cleaning materials for bake ovens
Factory utilities
Factory supervisors salaries
Lubricant for factory equipment
Flour used in baking bread

Part 3: For the same company and scenario described in Part 1 above, identify whether each of the following expense items for this company would be categorized as a VARIABLE COST or a FIXED COST by placing an X in the appropriate box for each item. While a couple of these items might arguably be considered mixed costs based on the situation, please just choose either variable cost or fixed cost for each. The first item has already been completed for you.

Expense Item	VARIABLE COST	FIXED COST
Flour used in baking bread	X
Factory supervisors salaries (note that these employees are SALARIED)
Factory lease
Factory insurance
Factory exterior lawn care maintenance contract
Sales commissions
Bakers wages (note that these employees are PART-TIME HOURLY)
Depreciation expense on bake ovens (assume annual straight-line depreciation is applied)
Advertising costs (assume these expenses are budgeted annually)
Factory utilities (this is a tricky onejust give it your best shot)

Part 4: For the same company and scenario described in Part 1 above, categorize each expense below as direct material, direct labor, indirect material, indirect labor, other manufacturing overhead or a period cost by placing an X in the appropriate box for each item. Once again, note that only one selection will apply to each item. The first item has already been completed for you.

Expense Item	Direct Material	Direct Labor	Indirect Material	Indirect Labor	Other Manufacturing Overhead	Period Costs
Flour used in baking bread	X
Factory supervisors salaries
Factory lease
Factory insurance
Factory custodians wages
Sales commissions
Bakers wages
Depreciation expense on bake ovens
Company presidents salary
Factory utilities
Accounting department salaries
Depreciation expense on administrative office equipment
Lubricant for factory equipment

Part 5: If we were to calculate each of the four cost category groupings shown in the first column below (e.g., total manufacturing overhead), which of the various expense items listed across the top of the table would need to be included? Place an X in each expense item that would need to be included in calculating the sum for each separate cost category shown, and be aware its likely that more than one expense item will apply in each calculation. Note that we are not actually calculating any values, but are instead simply showing the components for each aggregated cost category listed. The first cost category (total manufacturing overhead) has already been completed for you.

Cost Category	Direct Material	Direct Labor	Indirect Material	Indirect Labor	Other Manufacturing Overhead	Period Costs
Total manufacturing overhead			X	X	X
Total product costs
Total prime costs
Total conversion costs

Attached is the word version of the assignment.
