1. A predetermined overhead rate is used to allocate estimated manufacturing overhead costs to work in process and finished goods inventories for a period. It allows costs to be assigned without waiting for actual overhead amounts. 2. Overhead includes indirect costs of production like supplies, supervision, utilities. It is allocated based on estimates and a rate applied to direct labor hours, costs, machine hours or material costs depending on the operation. 3. Rates can be plant-wide using one rate for all production or departmental using different rates for different production areas. The rate and base used should properly allocate overhead costs based on factory operations.

for the next fiscal year. It is estimated that 90,000 units will be products by using the actual costs of direct labor and direct

require an estimated 100,000 direct labor hours at a cost of
P3.00 per hour, with 45,000 machine hours.
Required: Compute the predetermined factory rate based on:

a) Material Cost
b) Units of production
c) Machine Hours
d) Direct Labor cost
OVERHEAD VARIANCE
1. With the use of actual costing:
ACTUAL OVERHEAD = APPLIED OVERHEAD
since actual amount of overhead is being applied to production

2. With the use of normal costing:


ACTUAL OVERHEAD ≠ APPLIED OVERHEAD
since MOH account is debited for actual overhead and the
MOH account is credited for the amount of OH applied to
production.

1. ACTUAL OVERHEAD > APPLIED OVERHEAD


● MOH T-Account debit is greater than MOH
T-Account credit
● Overhead at the end of the period (before
adjustments) is UNDERAPPLIED.
2. ACTUAL OVERHEAD < APPLIED OVERHEAD
● MOH T-Account debit is lesser than MOH
T-account credit
● Overhead at the end of the period (before
adjustments) is OVERAPPLIED.

account. It does not represent an asset, liability,

ALLOCATION OF OVERHEAD
● Thus allocation is a direct process of identifying
overheads to cost units or cost centers. So the term
allocation means allotment of the whole item of cost
to a particular cost center or cost object without any
division.

APPORTIONMENT OF OVERHEAD
● Cost Apportionment is the allotment of proportions of
items to cost centers.
● When items of cost cannot be directly charged to or
accurately identifiable with any cost centers, they are
prorated or distributed amongst the cost centers on
some predetermined and suitable basis.
● Layman’s term: Apportionment of overhead costs
means to divide total cost of overhead among different
departments or branches or cost centers of a company
● With this, we can compare the revenue of each
department with their total cost. Then take decisions ALLOCATION vs. APPORTIONMENT
relating to a particular department. ● Allocation deals with the whole items of cost and
apportionment deals with proportion of items of cost.
Basis for Overhead Apportionment ● Allocation is direct process of departmentalization of
overheads, where as apportionment needs a suitable
basis for sub-division of the cost
● Whether a particular item of expense can be allocated
or apportioned does not depends on the nature of
expense, but depends on the relation with the cost
centre or cost unit to which it is to be charged

CONCLUSION
Allocation and apportionment of overheads and then absorption
of overheads helps for finding total cost of production for better
decision making for cost control and cost reduction.

● The costs of service departments are allocated to the
producing departments because they exist to support the
producing departments.

COST ACCOUNTING - Job Order Costing


Absorption of Overhead
● The ultimate aim of Overhead Accounting is to absorb
them in the product units produced by the firm.
● Thus, the indirect costs or overhead will have to be
distributed over the final products so that the charge is
complete.
● This process is known as cost absorption or
‘Absorption’ of overheads.
● FOH rate is used here!
OH Variance is material
When OH variance is material:
The amount of OH is closed and prorated against accounts in
which applied overhead resides: work-in process inventory,
finished goods inventory, and cost of goods sold.
