Raw Materials

  • These are the basic substances or components used in the early stages of manufacturing. Raw materials are traded globally as commodities and are essential production inputs.

Labour

Workers who perform manual tasks, such as those in construction, are part of the labor class. They contribute their skills and effort as their primary asset.

  • Overhead Costs: Include expenses such as accounting fees, advertising, insurance, interest payments, legal fees, rent, repairs, utilities, taxes, travel expenses, and phone bills.
  • Indirect and Fixed Costs: Overheads are often considered indirect or fixed costs because they support overall business operations rather than specific products.
​Consumable manufacturing supplies
  • Items like solder used during production are consumable materials. They do not include materials used for packaging, labeling, or shipping finished products.
