3. MACHINE HOURS
● A direct relationship between machine hours and
factory overhead cost is needed.
● This may occur in companies or departments that are
largely automated so that majority of the factory
overhead cost consists of depreciation of factory
equipment.
● The formula is:
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
SAMPLE PROBLEM
At the start of the period, Halo Company still had inventories
unfinished with a total cost of P89,000. During the period, direct
SAMPLE PROBLEM materials used amounted to P288,000 and indirect materials
Sharon Cuneta incurred the following costs of production during amounted to P34,000. Direct labor amounted to P537 per day of an

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.
1. DIRECT METHOD
2. Sequential/Step Method
● This method recognizes services rendered
by service departments to other departments.
● The sequence typically starts with the
department that renders service to the
greatest number of other service
departments and ends with the department
that renders service to the least number of
other departments.
● Once a service department’s costs are
allocated, no subsequent service department
costs are allocated to it.

Cost Accounting
● refers to recording, classifying, and reporting all
costs aspects of company performance during a
particular period of time.
● It is a system that records, summarizes, analyzes,
and interprets the details of the cost of materials,
labor, and overhead necessary to produce and sell
an article or a product.

● This system determines the price of each

each product is reasonable enough for a customer

● Each job is prepared by batch or order in
accordance with the customer’s specifications.
● The cost of Materials, labor, and overhead applied
is accumulated for each job in a job cost sheet.
