(a) Frames and tires used in manufacturing bicycles.
This is cost directly related to the materials used in manufacturing a product and, thus, should be classified as a direct material cost (DM).
(b) Wages paid to production workers.
This cost is directly related to pay for the labor required to manufacture a product and, thus, should be classified as a direct labor cost (DL).
(c) Insurance on Factory equipment and machinery.
Although this is a cost incurred from manufacturing, it can't be directly linked to either materials or labor since it is an structural cost and, therefore, should be classified as a manufacturing overhead cost (MO).

The correct answers to these open questions are the following.
Maple Farms, Inc. v. City School District of Elmira.
Could something like this bankrupt a company?
Yes, it can, if the proper forecast were not done taking into consideration all of the possible variables at medium and long-range.
Do you agree with the decision?
It was a tough decision because the court declared in its decision that the performance was not impracticable, as Maple Farm Inc indicated when decided to break the contract.
In strict theory, I agree with the court's decision because the explanation was that an "impractical" occurred when an event happened totally unexpected. And in this case, Mapple Farm Inc could have taken extra provisions knowing that milk had a 10% increase the last year and had the chance of more increases in the present year.
That is how a company can avoid this type of situation. Taking better provisions, contemplating all kinds of variables, knowing that in the future, something unexpected can happen and could be prevented with the proper forecast.
