Travon and Tony (T & T) Enterprises has a single facility that it uses for manufacturing, sales, and administrative activities. Should the company's building depreciation charge be expensed in its entirety or is a different accounting procedure appropriate? Explain.

What will be an ideal response?


The company's depreciation charge is, in part, a period cost and, in part, a product cost. The portion that relates to selling and administrative activities should be expensed when incurred. In contrast, the portion that relates to manufacturing should be attached to the goods produced, with the costs now inventoried on the balance sheet.
