Traditional Cost Systems

Costing methods that typically allocate overhead costs based on volume-related measures, without focusing on the activities that actually caused those costs.

Direct Material

Raw materials that can be directly traced to the production process of a specific product.

Manufacturing Overhead

All indirect costs associated with manufacturing beyond direct materials and direct labor, such as factory rent, utilities, and equipment depreciation.
