Cost                                                                                         Classification

a. Automobile engine                                                       Direct Material cost

b. Brake pads                                                                    Direct Material cost

c. Depreciation of robotic assembly line equipment           Factory overhead cost

d. Glass for front and rear windshields                            Direct Material cost

e. Safety helmets and masks for assembly line workers     Factory overhead cost

f. Salary of quality control inspector                                     Factory overhead cost

g. Steering wheel                                                                Direct Material cost

h. Tires                                                                                 Direct Material cost

i. Wages of assembly line workers                                       Direct labor cost

Explanation:

Direct material cost is the total cost of the materials with which the product is manufactured

Direct labor costs are the total cost of the wages and salaries which the workers directly involved in the production of the goods or the rendering of the service receive

Factory overhead is the operational cost of the production facility that are not directly related to the output or produced materials. Factor overhead are all the other costs excluding the direct labor and material costs.
