Direct Materials
Raw materials that become an integral part of theproduct and that can be conveniently traced
directly to it.
Example: A radio installed in an automobile

Manufacturing costs that cannot be traced directlyto specific units produced.
Manufacturing Overhead
Examples: Indirect labor and indirect materials
Wages paid to employeeswho are not directly
involved in productionwork.Examples: maintenance
workers, janitors andsecurity guards.
Materials used to supportthe production process.
Examples: lubricants andcleaning supplies used in theautomobile assembly plant.

• Every decision involves a choice between atleast two alternatives.
• Only those costs and benefits that differ between alternatives are relevant in a decision. All other costs and benefits can and should be
ignored.

Differential Cost and Revenue
Costs and revenues that differ amongalternatives.
Example: You have a job paying $1,500 per month inyour 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

The potential benefitthat is given up when
one alternative isselected over another.

it, you cannot change the $10,000 cost.
