Direct material and direct labor are the parts of prime cost while indirect labor is part of manufacturing overhead and manufacturing overhead is a part of conversion cost that's why indirect labor is not part of prime cost because it is that type of labor which is not directly identifiable with units production that;s why cannot charge directly to production units.
Only direct material and direct labor is part of prime cost while overheads are part of conversion cost so indirect labor is part of overheads so automatically part of conversion cost and not prime cost.
