      1. Hi, this question I have the same question, why not include MOH “Based on the information below for Zultec Corporation, what will be the direct manufacturing cost if it manufactures 8000 units per day?​”

  1. Professor Farhat,
    Is direct manufacturing cost different from total manufacturing cost? Shown here Direct manufacturing cost excludes manufacturing overhead (variable and fixed). I understood Total manufacturing cost to include DM, DL, and overhead.

    1. Hello Alisha,

      Yes, you are correct. Direct manufacturing cost and total manufacturing cost are distinct concepts in the realm of accounting and cost analysis.

      Direct Manufacturing Cost (DMC):

      Direct manufacturing cost includes expenses directly tied to the production of goods. This typically encompasses direct materials and direct labor. Direct materials are the raw materials directly used in the manufacturing process, while direct labor refers to the wages of workers directly involved in the production.
      Total Manufacturing Cost (TMC):

      Total manufacturing cost, on the other hand, is a broader measure. It includes not only direct manufacturing costs (direct materials and direct labor) but also manufacturing overhead. Manufacturing overhead includes both variable and fixed costs that are indirectly associated with the production process, such as utilities, maintenance, depreciation on factory equipment, and indirect labor.
      So, the relationship is as follows:
      Total Manufacturing Cost (TMC)= Direct Manufacturing Cost (DMC)+ Manufacturing Overhead (MO)

      In context with question 2 , the given is asking for Total Direct Manufacturing Costs and not the total Manufacturing costs.

      Hope this makes sense

  2. Professor Farhat,
    For Chapter 5, Quiz 3, problem 16, the solution uses $15,330 instead of the problem’s $15,530. Please consider adjusting so that $100,620 instead of $100,820 can be selected as an answer choice.
    Thank you.
