Raiborn, ''Cost Accounting: Foundation and Evolution'', 7th edition〕 Direct materials are also called productive materials, raw materials, raw stock, stores and only materials without any descriptive title. == Direct materials cost estimation == Steps to estimate the direct material costs:〔Phillip W. Gillet, Jr., J.D. notes, Chapter three 〕 #Find the total amount to be produced. This is usually noted as the order size. #Calculate the total amount of raw materials required to produce the order size. #Multiply that amount by the cost associated with the raw materials. #If there is a waste or scrap, its cost should be added to the costs in step 3. #If the waste or scrap can be sold at salvage value, this value should be subtracted from the costs in step 4. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Direct materials cost」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
