On the basis ofelements, costs can be classified into three elements that are material, labour and overhead.Jeffrey & Son's company need to purchase raw material for production of product Exquisiteknown as material cost. Labour convert raw material into the finished goods known as labourcost such as wages payment. Other direct expenses include royalty that can be charged to theproduct directly. However, on the basis of function, it can be classified into factory cost, administrationcost and selling and distribution cost. Production cost involves the expenses that can becharged to a specific cost object such as productive wages and factory lighting (Cinquini andTenucci, n.d.). However, expenses that cannot be charged to the cost object called nonproductive expenses such as administration cost selling and marketing expenses.Administration cost involves office stationery, staff salary and manager remuneration. On thecontrary, selling and distribution overhead includes advertisement and sales promotion. However, according to the nature, it can be classified into direct as well as indirectexpenses. Direct cost is directly related to a specific element. However, indirect cost cannotbe attributed to a specified element. Material, labour and wages are direct production cost forJeffrey & Son's while indirect cost is office stationery, building rent and staff salary.
