\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

1. Concept of Overhead <\/span><\/b><\/b><\/h3>\n

All expenses other than direct expenses and production are overhead. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is an aggregate of all indirect materials, indirect wages and indirect expenses. <\/span><\/p>\n

Another name for overhead are on cost, burden cost, indirect expenses, non-productive cost, supplementary cost, logistic support cost and loading cost etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Definition of overhead <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

According to Institute of Cost and Management Account (ICMA, London),<\/span><\/i><\/b> <\/i>\u201cOverhead is an aggregate of indirect materials, indirect wages and indirect expenses<\/span><\/i>.<\/span>\u201d <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Overheads represent fixed costs and relate to general business functions.<\/span><\/p>\n

These costs still remain if production is shut down for a short period of time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some major overheads are:<\/span><\/p>\n

Administrative overhead<\/span><\/p>\n

General business overhead<\/span><\/p>\n

Research overhead<\/span><\/p>\n

Transportation overhead<\/span><\/p>\n

Manufacturing overhead<\/span><\/p>\n

Marketing overhead\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Selling and promotional overhead etc.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

2. Apportionment of Overhead | Allocation of Overhead<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

According to given data of the overhead, some overhead are distributed directly, some in ratio, some in percentage, some in based on other overhead etc. <\/span><\/p>\n

Generally, there are three methods to apportionment of overhead:<\/span><\/p>\n

Direct distribution method<\/span><\/b> <\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

Under this method, the costs of service department are distributed or apportioned to production department. <\/span><\/p>\n

Overcharge and under charge is ignored. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Step method <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Under this method, the costs of service department are distributed or apportioned production department step by step or one by one. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Reciprocal method<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

When overhead of one service department distributed to other service department; then distributed to production department, it is known reciprocal method. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Absorption of Overhead<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

Absorption means charging or sharing overhead to different cost units. <\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, charging or sharing overhead to specific product or individual units is known absorption. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Definition\u00a0 <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

According to ICMA,<\/span><\/i><\/b> <\/i>\u201cThe allotment of overhead to cost unit is known as overhead absorption.\u201d <\/b><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Methods of absorption<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

There are different methods of absorption of overhead; they are:<\/span><\/p>\n

Production unit method | Cost per unit of output<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Under this method, overhead absorption rate is calculated by dividing the overhead cost by number of units prod<\/span><\/strong>uced or expected to be produced.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

= Actual overhead \u00f7 No. of units produced <\/span><\/p>\n

Or <\/span><\/p>\n

= Budgeted overhead \u00f7 No. of units budgeted<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Percentage of direct materials cost<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Under this method, overhead is absorbed based on the actual or predetermined absorption rate.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is calculated by expressing the overhead cost as percentage of direct materials for the same period.<\/span><\/p>\n

= (Actual overhead \u00f7 Actual direct materials cost) \u00d7 100<\/span><\/p>\n

Or <\/span><\/p>\n

= (Budgeted overhead \u00f7 Budgeted direct materials cost) \u00d7 100<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Percentage of direct labour cost<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Under this method, overhead absorption rate is calculated by expressing the overhead expense to be absorbed as a percentage of cost of direct labour for the same period<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

= (Actual overhead \u00f7 Actual direct labour cost) \u00d7 100<\/span><\/p>\n

Or <\/span><\/p>\n

= (Budgeted overhead \u00f7 Budgeted direct labour cost) \u00d7 100<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Percentage of prime cost<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

This method is a combination of both direct material cost and direct labour cost method. <\/span><\/p>\n

The overhead absorption is calculated as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n

= (Actual overhead \u00f7 Budgeted prime cost) \u00d7 100<\/span><\/p>\n

Or <\/span><\/p>\n

= (Budgeted overhead \u00f7 Budgeted prime cost) \u00d7 100<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Labour hour rate<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Where manpower is used, labour hour rate is applied in absorption of overheads. <\/span><\/p>\n

The budgeted overhead cost to be absorbed is divided by the budgeted labour hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

= Actual overhead \u00f7 Actual labour hours during the period<\/span><\/p>\n

Or <\/span><\/p>\n

= Budgeted overhead \u00f7 Budgeted labour hours during the period<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Machine hour rate <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Where automatic and semi-automatic machinery is used, machine hour rate is applied in absorption of overheads. <\/span><\/p>\n

This is the most scientific method of absorption of factory overheads.<\/span><\/p>\n

The budgeted overhead cost to be absorbed is divided by the budgeted machine hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

= Actual overhead \u00f7 Actual machine hours during the period<\/span><\/p>\n

Or <\/span><\/p>\n

= Budgeted overhead \u00f7 Budgeted machine hours during the period<\/span><\/p>\n
