"and costs of materials"

Are you familiar with cost of materials vs cost of goods sold?

Materials that are part of product on hand or used to produce those goods for sale, that are not yet sold, are not Expense now. They are still there, invested in the product still on hand. That's the fine line you need to understand. Well, it's more of a bright line.
