Answer:

Missing word "b. What are some of the product costs versus period costs? c. What are the direct materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead costs?"

a. The variable cost of making/production of a coffee will include direct material like coffee seeds or bean and seasoned labor wages required to farm coffee. The fixed costs will include cost like salary cost of permanent employees like supervisors. Mixed cost will include costs of operating a tractor in farm on rent, where rent would be a fixed cost and cost of running it from petrol or diesel would be a variable cost.

b. Example of period cost can be rent of equipments taken on rent or depreciation on own equipments used for coffee production purpose while product costs can be direct material and direct labor

c. Direct material cost would be coffee beans and seeds,wages of direct labor would be season labor employed and variable overhead would be transportation expenses to carry coffee
