These are basically all costs that re directly, and indirectly involved in the production process.  

Total Product cost = $210, 000 + $20, 000 + $123, 000 + $6, 400 + $54, 000 + $34, 000 + $34, 000 + $6, 000 + $24, 000 = $477, 400

(3)Total Period cost is any cost that cannot be capitalized into inventory, prepaid expenses or fixed assets. This cost is the cost that is incurred not as a result of production. They are incurred independently of the production process.

Total period costs = $26, 000 + $66, 000 + $34, 000 + $9, 600 + $35, 000 + $186, 000

= $356, 600
