Answer:

The instructions are listed below

Explanation:

- Direct materials are those materials and supplies that are consumed during the manufacture of a product, and which are directly identified with that product.

- Direct labor is production or services labor that is assigned to a specific product, cost center, or work order.  

- Manufacturing overhead refers to indirect factory-related costs that are incurred when a product is manufactured.

- Product costs are the direct costs involved in producing a product. A manufacturer, for example, would have production costs that include: Direct labor, Raw materials, Manufacturing supplies, Overhead that's directly tied to the production facility such as electricity.
