Costing - Overheads

Yes. Advertisement is an Indirect cost.

If the company is producing product A,B,C and D and the advertisement cost is incurred exclusively for product A ???

Take it only for Product A. Do not apportion the cost as it specifically for Product A.

So for product A , advertisement cost is direct cost?? Right??

Please understand direct cost is cost which is directly related to production process. Since the Advertisement cost is incurred after production stage and it is not direclty related to production and hence classified as indirect cost.

If expenditure incurred only on product A is given in the question then it does not mean that the cost is a direct cost. It is just for apportionment of such cost to Product A only.

indirect cost......
