CFA Practice Question

Which one of the following items is a period cost?

A. Warranty cost for products sold
B. Rent on a sales office
C. Sales commission expenses
D. Freight-in costs for merchandise inventory
Correct Answer: B

Although a firm establishes a sales office to generate sales, it is difficult to associate the rent on the sales office with any specific sale. Instead, the rent amount is shown as an expense in the period benefited and is a period cost.
