|
Might be direct labor hours, direct labor costs, unit produced, pr another activity base that has a cause and effect relationship to the cost. |
Cost driver |
LO4 |
|
The clection of indirect costs assigned to a cost object--to increase in amount. |
Cost pool |
LO4 |
|
1. Planning the overhead rate -- before a period beginsPredetermined overhead rate = estimated overhead costs /estimatef cost driver activity 2.Applying the Overhead rate -- unit of product or service are produced during the period Overhead Applied = predetermined overhead rate x actual cost driver activity 3. Recording actual overhead costs -- recorded as they are incurred during the period 4.Reconciling the applied and actual overhead amounts -- at the end of period, the difference between the applied and actual overhead costs is calculated and reconciled. |
4 steps in process of allocating overhead costs to products or services. |
LO4 LO4 |
|
If the overhead applied to production during the period are greater than the actual overhead costs, the difference in the amounts represents OVERAPPLIED OVERHEAD COSTS. |
Overapplied overhead |
LO4 |
|
If the overhead applied to production during the period are less than the actual overhead costs, the difference in the amounts represents UNDERAPPLIED OVERHEAD COSTS. |
Underapplied overhead |
LO4 |
|
1)Traditional Approach -- to applying overhead costs to a product or service is to use a single plantwide overhead rate. Useful when companies manufacture only one product or a few very similar products, not applied to mass production.
2)Activity-based costing (ABC) -- more accurate method of assigning overhead cost to products or services, applied in mass production. |
