Product costing involves accumulating production costs and assigning them to products. It allows managers to plan, control costs, and make decisions. Manufacturing costs include direct materials, conversion costs like direct labor, and allocated overhead. As production occurs, costs flow through work in process inventory and then to finished goods inventory when complete. Finally, costs are transferred to cost of goods sold when products are sold. Accurate product costing is needed for inventory valuation, decision making, and sometimes setting prices subject to regulatory approval.
