Conversion – Labor + FO
Cost of goods sold (COGS) refers to the direct costs of producing the goods sold by a
company. This amount includes the cost of the materials and labor directly used to create the
good. It excludes indirect expenses, such as distribution costs and sales force costs.
You have $19,500 in cost of goods sold, an amount that goes right to the income statement.
To figure out the cost per unit, divide the total cost by the 4,200 units sold: $3.64 ($19,500 ÷
4,200 gallons). As you may know from your financial accounting course, retailers use this
same formula.
