Explanation:

Period costs are fixed costs incurred that relate more to the period in which they are incurred than to the product.  They are not directly related to the product and are treated as expenses.  Product costs, on the other hand, are costs incurred in producing the product.  They may be in the form of direct materials, direct labor, or manufacturing overhead costs.
