Document Summary
Direct costs: traced to product, ex direct material and labour. Indirect: not easily traceable to product, aka overhead or non-manufacturing overhead. Use allocation base and predetermined overhead rates to assign mo in both job-order costing and process costing system. Manufacturing overhead = indirect mats, labour, maintenance, etc. Allocation base: assigns mo to jobs or depts. Pohr = estimated total mo for coming period / estimated total units of ab for coming period. Ab is pre-determined, has not occurred before period begins. Variable overhead rate: activity measure should give relationship between activity and cost. The rate does not change with activity level. Voh = estimated voh / estimated activity level (for upcoming period) Fixed overhead rate: select specific activity level: expected annual, theoretical, practical, normal. Foh = estimated foh / estimated activity level (for upcoming period) Usually use multiple pohr for different types of manufacturing overhead. Sometimes use single lump-sum pohr called plant wide overhead rate.
