Manufacturing overhead refers to indirect costs incurred in the production process that cannot be directly attributed to specific products. These costs include expenses such as factory rent, utilities, equipment maintenance, depreciation, supervision, and administrative costs.

Very quick and helpful way to remember the fundamentals of accounting and how the accounts tie into the Income Statement. I liked how he shows the flow from one account to the next, all the way down the line to COGS.

Good start-to-finish examples of the accounting flow for manufacturing and selling goods, "showing your work" on intermediate steps helped think through and link the various pieces of information
