Sales $76,500

Direct materials used 7,300 Depreciation on factory equipment 4,700

Indirect labor 5,900

Direct labor 10,500

Factory rent 4,200

Factory utilities 1,200

Sales salaries expense 15,600

Office salaries expense 8,900 Indirect materials 1,200

Product cost refers to the costs incurred to create a product.

From the given data; the product cost will be calculated by the summation of the following:

Direct materials used 7,300 Depreciation on factory equipment 4,700

Indirect labor 5,900

Direct labor 10,500

Factory rent 4,200

Factory utilities 1,200

Indirect materials 1,200

So, Product Cost = 7,300 + 4,700 + 5,900 + 10,500 + 4,200 + 1,200 + 1,200

Product Cost = $35,000

Period Cost is any cost that cannot be capitalized into prepaid expenses, inventory, or fixed assets.

From the given data; the period cost will be calculated by the summation of the following:

Sales $76,500

Sales salaries expense 15,600

Office salaries expense 8,900

Period Cost = $76,500 + $15,600 + $8,900

Period Cost = $101,000
