The Prime Cost of production for Ibadan Furniture Craft Enterprise for the period ended 31 December 2025 is ₦885,000.
Prime Cost comprises all direct costs involved in production: Direct Raw Materials Consumed + Direct Labor (Wages) + Direct Expenses (Royalties). Calculating raw materials consumed yields ₦120,000 + ₦480,000 + ₦25,000 - ₦95,000 = ₦530,000. Adding direct wages of ₦310,000 and direct expenses (royalties) of ₦45,000 gives ₦885,000. Indirect expenses like supervisor salary, factory power, and machinery depreciation are excluded as they represent factory overheads.
