Some examples of overheads are: This is a very brief list but it gives you a basic idea that overheads are not directly linked with the manufacturing of products but without these expenses, the production process is impossible. 15. (x) Technical Estimates: This basis of apportionment is used for the apportionment of those expenses for which it is difficult, to find out any other basis of apportionment. Terms of Service 7. Department X produces 10,000 units of product A and Department Y produces 90,000 units of product B in a particular period. Light points for lighting. A In the production departments, with the help of manual and or machine operations the raw materials are converted to finished goods. This process is known as "allocation and apportionment" of overheads Cost allocation: is the collection of all individual and shared overhead costs incurred in a particular department or identification of overhead costs to a specific cost centre. Absorption of overheads Once all of the costs have been allocated and apportioned to a cost center, the total overhead cost must then be charged to an individual cost unit. of employees or wages of each groups. because they contain both fixed and variable element. All rights reserved. Overhead cost comprises indirect material, indirect labour and indirect expanses. For instance in March 2013, the output of the factory is 2,000 units and the expenses are as follows: ` Marginal research equipment, (ii) It makes possible the establishments of control to keep costs at a minimum. Algebraic approach. (b) According to capital values of the assets. The objective at this stage is to allot . This method is applicable when the actual benefits are measurable. Explain the use of cost information in pricing decisions, including marginal cost pricing and the calculation of full cost These fair bases are: The formula to apportion the total cost of overheads to a specific cost center is: Apportionment to cost center = (Total overheads / Total number of bases) x Specific cost centers base. customer and during a slump or a period of depression, decision on make or buy, shut down or continue etc. Store-keeping and materials handling Number of stores requisitions. Generally, there are three methods to apportionment of overhead; they are: Direct distribution method Under this method, the costs of service department are distributed or apportioned to production department. (v) Freight, if the goods are handled by an outside carrier whose charges can be related to individual above example. are incurred for the factory as a whole, and, therefore, these will have to be apportioned overall the departmentsboth Production as well as . General expenses Direct Wages or No. department contribution, general welfare expenses, compensation and other fringe benefits, supervisions etc. For instance depreciation (iii) The overhead rate for the year may be determined on the basis of normal volume of output or (i) Royalties if it is charged as a rate per unit. (ix)Kilowatt Hours: This basis is used for the apportionment of power expenses. A, B and C. Absorption of overheads refers to charging of overheads to individual products or jobs. Similarly Primary distribution of overhead involves allocation or apportionment of different items of overhead to all arrive at the estimate by adjusting the variable amount by the expected change in output and the fixed Material prices are often subject to considerable fluctuations which are not accompanied by similar changes in overheads. vi. Insurance and depreciation of plants, machinery and Equipments. 7. and not fixed expenses. methods: (i) Graphical Presentation Method: Under this method, a good number of observations in respect of the In April 2013, the output is likely to increase by 500 units. No. etc. Expenses The size of the fleet of buses have been fixed taking into consideration the potential number of users. Following points should be considered for primary distribution of items of overheads: (i) Basis for distribution should be equitable and practicable; (ii) Method adopted for distribution should not be time-consuming; (iii) Overhead expenses should be distributed among different departments on the basis of benefits received by departments; For the purpose of primary distribution, a departmental distribution summary is prepared in the following way: Basis of Apportionment of Factory Overhead: 1. Basis of apportioning overhead expenses: It is stated that the total overhead expenses of a department comprises direct overhead expenses incurred in the departments itself as well as the apportioned overhead expenses of other service departments. Privacy Policy 9. overhead expenses the following are some of the primary documents used:-. When the measurement of actual benefit is difficult or impossible or uneconomical this method is adopted. alternative course is adopted, and (b) measurement of the benefits resulting therefrom. apportioned to x will continue to be repeated till amount involved becomes negligible. When labour forms the predominant part of the total cost. (iv) Power 3, After this is done, the cost of service department serving the next largest number of department is apportioned. (viii) Cost of any special process not forming part of the normal manufacture like water proofing for This method presumes that higher the revenue of a production department, higher is the proportionate charge for services. This process of apportionment is also known as departmentalisation of overhead. So it is the allotment of whole item of cost to a cost centre or cost unit or refers to the charging of expenses which can be identified wholly with a particular department. This amount of overheads does not change because the work is being done on copper instead of iron. endobj Image Guidelines 4. variable expenses. It is suitable when the production is not uniform. Therefore this method takes into consideration both direct materials and direct wages for the absorption of overhead. The principle is that if an overhead item cannot be fully allocated to one cost center, it should be apportioned over related cost centers. 14 0 obj that direct costs(materials, labour, etc.) departments. Some It is to be carefully noted that at the time of making primary distribution, the distinction between production and service departments is ignored. The cost of another service department plus the share received The principle is that . This may be through allocation or absorption. Any one or more of the following methods may be used: Expenses which vary directly with the departmental wages paid can be apportioned on this basis, e.g., premium for workmens compensation insurance etc. 12 0 obj 1. <> some special tools for utilisation in the main job orders, it is acting as a productive department expenses of other service departments. of hours devoted by Supervisor. Service department P (90% of 4,612) 1,384 1,845 922 This rate is determined by dividing the overhead expenses by the total number of direct labour hours. This is also known as departmentalization of overheads. The cost of last service department is apportioned among production departments the amount has to be distributed over the various cost units, again on an estimated basis. This is used for distributing lighting, electric power, works managers salary, internal transport, steam, water charges etc. (i) The figure of the previous year or period may be adopted as the overhead rate to be charged on These service departments render service to each other. (iii) Partly producing departments: In every organisation a few departments such that it is not usually depends on two factorsone time (fixed) and other wear and tear (variable).

The departments in a factory can be broadly categorised into the following types: (i) Producing or manufacturing departments: A manufacturing or producing department is one in 3. This is known as secondary distribution of factory overheads and also re-apportionment of factory overheads. drawing office A manufacturing company has three production departments and two service departments. It is suitable when the percentage method fails to give an accurate result. of employees. Derived Benefit. Apportionment is done in case of those overhead items which cannot be wholly allocated to a particular department. 1) Simultaneous Equation Method 2) Repeated Distribution Method 3) Trial and Error Method Here we discuss only 1 st and 3 rd methods for apportionment. Using these methods, overheads are recovered, charged to, or absorbed in the factory cost. Such expenses require division and apportionment over two or more cost centres or units. You are required to prepare an overhead analysis sheet for the departments showing clearly the basis of Content Guidelines 2.

Sometimes, the basis will be the Ability to pay method, i.e., ability of the department to bear such share of items of overheads. It is easy to understand. endobj consumers service, This method is commonly used in those industries where machines are primarily used because in these industries overheads are mostly concerned with machines. Such departments render services such as repairs, maintenance, electricity, etc. 10 0 obj The first stage in the analysis of overheads is the selection of approximate cost centres. Unlike materials prices, labour rates do not fluctuate so frequently. The line on the graph will, therefore, be represented by: y = mx + c Indirect expense can come from several sources such as cash book, factory journals or vouchers. 9,500 15,000 7, Fixed overheads are stated to be uncontrollable in the sense that they are not influenced by managerial 1. This is a huge amount that needs to be considered when costing the products and making pricing decisions, so that this expenditure can be recovered from the sales income. overheads absorption rates are applied. factory furniture Under this method service department overheads are charged to production departments on the basis of potential rather than actual services rendered. Thus, the wages paid to maintenance workers as Fixed overheads expenses are those which remain fixed in total amount with increases or decreases in department, power department, tools department, stores department, cost department, cash department, etc. The next service department is taken up and its cost is apportioned and this process goes on till the cost of the last service department is apportioned. research center.

These are then distributed among the (vi) Travelling, hotel and other incidental expenses incurred on a particular contract. department y plus the share from service department x will be apportioned to x. Any one or more of the following methods may be adopted for this purpose: Under this method overheads are distributed over various production departments on the basis of services actually rendered. negligible value. An analytical study thus can make it possible for all semi-variable amount for each department or cost centre. Indirect expenses or Delivery expenses Weight, volume or tonne-kilometre. once that level is exceeded, they vary without having direct relationship with volume changes. Direct Wages 20,000 25,000 30,000 - - - 75, This is called fair allocation of overheads to each department and ultimately to each unit. Standing order numbers are used for covering the factory overheads. apportioned to production departments, without taking into consideration any service from one Correspondingly, on a Heating Floor area occupied or technical estimate.

In other words, apportionment involves charging a share of the overheads to a cost centre or cost unit. service departments but, then, the expenses of the service departments are apportioned among the Common items of overheads are rent and rates, depreciation, repairs and maintenance, lighting, works managers salary etc. Terms of Service 7. another service department. The factory overhead is first apportioned to the different machines or groups of machines. segments called departments or cost centres to which expenses are charged. Insurance on tools and fixtures, power, repairs and maintenance cost etc. 5. 1. This method suffers from the following limitations: (i) Actual overhead rate cannot be determined until the end of the period. for the benefit of other departments. place. responsibility for incurring this expenditure is determined in relation to output. Then the service departments may be ignored for apportioning the expenses. window.__mirage2 = {petok:"mV5GQyOeXuAURipfQW4GKcKzTJSehtfJRlqTbRgcUuk-3600-0"}; volume of output. When service department is giving its services to other service departments and production departments then following method are used. Under this backdrop, the second step is to distribute the total cost of service departments among the production departments. (iii) Sub-contract or outside work, if jobs are sent out for special processing. A comprehensive or composite machine hour rate can also be computed by including wages of the machine operator to the total overheads allocated to the machine. Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, London, cost allocation is that part of cost attribution which In case of factory overheads it involves: (i) Allocation and apportionment of overheads among Production and Service Departments. repairs and Under this method, costs of one service department are apportioned to other service departments and production departments on agreed percentages and this process is repeated till the figures of service departments are too small to be reckoned for further apportionment. indirect material, indirect labour and the indirect expenses incurred in the respect of carrying out the production. x. Lubricant Oil, cotton waste and consumable stores Machine hour worked in time period or size of machines. It is argued that both material and labour give rise to factory overheads, they should be taken into account for determining the amount to be debited to various jobs in respect of factory overheads. Plagiarism Prevention 5. Cost of This sub-division is done in All the factory overheads are to be classified to suit the purpose of cost accounting, whether item wise, i.e., rent, insurance, depreciation etc., or function-wise. They are also called Step Costs It may remain fixed within a certain activity level, but The two together make It does not give proper weight to time factor. Suitable bases have to be found out for apportioning the items of overhead cost to production and service departments and then for reapportionment of service departments costs to other service and production departments.
