Determine whether each of the following cost should be classified as direct materials (dm), direct labor (dl), or manufacturing overhead (mo).

(a) frames and tires used in manufacturing bicycles.

(b) paid to production workers.

(c) insurance on factory equipment and machinery

(d) depreciation on factory equipment

(a) DM

(b) DL

(c) MO

(d) MO

Explanation:

(a)  Frames and tires used in manufacturing bicycles.

This is cost directly related to the materials used in manufacturing a product and, thus, should be classified as a direct material cost (DM).

(b) Wages paid to production workers.

This cost is directly related to pay for the labor required to manufacture a product and, thus, should be classified as a direct labor cost (DL).

(c) Insurance on Factory equipment and machinery.

Although this is a cost incurred from manufacturing, it can't be directly linked to either materials or labor since it is an structural cost and, therefore, should be classified as a manufacturing overhead cost (MO).

(d) Depreciation on factory equipment

For the same reason as the previous item, this should be classified as a manufacturing overhead cost (MO).

no, a company likes to look at potential employees that are professional, well mannered, clean, honest, etc. don't show up looking/acting like a clown. (unless that's your job xd) hope this ! =^-^=
