This type of cost is unrelated to manufacturing overhead and cost of goods sold. | Manufacturing Overhead:Manufacturing overhead includes all costs of manufacturing such as indirect material, indirect labor, property taxes, maintenance and repairs, insurance etc. It excludes the direct material and direct labor. The selling and administrative expenses will not be reported in the manufacturing overhead since they are not incurred for the production of the goods. | Cost of Goods Sold: |
Cost of goods sold
