The answer is: A) Yes : Yes

Explanation:

The thread used to sew the jeans together is a direct material used in the production of the jeans.

A direct cost is a cost that can be traced to the production of a good or service, for example direct labor and direct materials.

A product cost is a cost incurred in the production of a good or service, it includes both direct and indirect costs (depreciation, supervisors, etc.).
