Document Summary
Traces direct costs to output by multiplying the standard prices or rate by the standard quantities of inputs allowed for actual outputs produced. Allocates overhead costs on the basis of the standard overhead-cost rates times the standard quantities of the allocation bases allowed for the actual outputs produced. Choose the period to be used for the budget. Annual for our example on page 290 of the text Select the cost-allocation bases to use in allocating variable overhead costs to output produced. Machine hours is our cost driver estimate is for . 40 hours per actual output unit or 144,000 jackets will take 57,600 hours (144,000 x . 40). Identify the variable overhead costs associated with each cost-allocation base. Compute the rate per unit of each cost-allocation base used to allocate variable overhead costs to output produced. Therefore the budgeted variable overhead cost rate per output unit is as follows: (. 40 machine hours per jacket x per hour) = per jacket.
