Work in process costs
It is the cost of production process that is used to manufacture partly completed products. It comprises the cost of raw materials, labor, and overhead that incurred for the production process of the products at various phases.
Direct materials cost
Manufacturing products arise with raw materials that are altered into finished products. The cost of any material that is an important part of the finished product is categorized as a direct materials cost.
Conversion cost
Cost of changing the materials into a finished product. It includes direct labor costs and factory overhead costs.
