# Depreciation on the conversion capital expenditure should NOT be included in the incremental overhead.

1, 2012.

Other Information:

1. What depreciation method would your company use to depreciate the conversion capital expenditures? _______________________________________________. 

Direct material – Costs of raw materials including scrap that can be traced to final or end products. Direct material costs do not include indirect material costs which are attributed to supplies that may 

be used in the production process but are not assigned to final products (e.g., lubricating oil for production machinery).

Direct labor – The earnings of workers who assemble parts into a finished good for operate machines in the production process. Direct labor includes the fringe benefits of direct laborers such as group 

health care, as well as overtime pay. Direct labor does not include indirect labor which is defined as the earnings of employees who do not work directly in assembling a product, such as supervisors, 

janitors, stockroom personnel, inspectors, and forklift operators.

Overhead – Factory overhead excluding depreciation. Factory overhead includes indirect labor, downtime, set-up costs, indirect material, expendable tools, maintenance, property taxes, insurance on 

assets, and utility costs. Factory overhead does not include selling, general, and administrative costs (SG&A); R&D; interest; or profit (accounted for by DOE separately). 

Full Production Cost = Direct Material + Direct Labor + Overhead (factory) + Depreciation

Full Cost of Product = Full Production Cost + Non-production Costs (SG&A, R&D, interest, and profit)
