All types of goods that are used in the process of production are called material.
The expenses incurred for the material is termed as material cost.
It also includes all those costs related to the purchase and storing of material.
There are two types of materials; they are direct materials and indirect materials.
A large part of materials in finished goods is known as direct materials.
These material costs can be identified easily from the finished product.
Sometimes the value of direct materials may be less than labour cost.
A small part of materials in finished goods is known as indirect materials.
Without indirect materials, finished goods cannot be completed.
Sometimes the value of indirect materials cannot be directly identified from a particular product.
