3. Topic1 overheads  Overhead is the cost incurred in the course of making a product, providing a service or running a department,but which cannot be traced directly and in full to the product,service or department.

4. Overheads  overheads include the following items:  indirect materials production  + +  indirect expenses selling and distribution  + +  indirect labour administration

5. Topic2 Overhead allocation  Allocation is the process by which whole cost items are charged direct to a cost centre.  Cost centre: when costs are incurred, they are generally allocated to a cost centre. A cost centre acts as a collecting place for certain costs.

6. types of cost centre  production department  production area service department  administrative department  selling or a distribution department  overhead cost centre

7. Example  Wages of the foreman of department A $200  Wages of the foreman of department B $150  Indirect materials consumed in department A  $50  Rent of the premises shared by departments A and B $300  The cost accounting system might include three overhead cost centres:  Cost centre: 101 Departments A  102 Departments B  201 Rent 

8. Overhead absorption is the process whereby overhead costs allocated and apportioned to production cost centres are added to unit,job or batch costs.Overhead absorption is sometimes called overhead recovery. Overhead absorption

9. Calculation of overhead absorption rates Estimate the overhead likely to be incurred during the coming period. Estimate the activity level for the period. Divide the estimated overhead by the budgeted activity level. → absorption rate Absorb the overhead into the cost unit by applying the calculated absorption level.

10. Example : Athena Co makes two products,the Greek and the Roman.Greeks take 2 hours each to make and Romans take 5 labour hours.What is the overhead cost per unit for Greeks and Romans respectiveky if overhead are absorbed on the basis of labour hours? Step1: total overhead $50,000 Step2: tatal direct labour hours 100,000 Step3: Absorption rate = =$0.50 per direct labour hour Step4: Greek Roman Labour hours per unit 2 5 Absorption rate per labour hour $0.50 $0.50 Overhead absorbed per unit $1 $1

11. A percentage of direct materials cost A percentage of direct labour cost A percentage of prime cost A rate per direct labour hour A rate per unit A rate per machine hour Choosing the appropriate base

12. 4:overhead apportionment  Apportionment is a procedure whereby indirect costs are spread fairly between cost centres Service cost centre costs may be apportioned to production cost centres by using the reciprocal method Stage1:Apportioning general overheads Stage2:Reapportion service department costs the reciprocal method of apportionment

13. stage1: Apportionment general overheads  Apportionment is a procedure whereby indirect costs are spread fairly between cost centres Service cost centre costs may be apportioned to production cost centres by using the reciprocal method overhead to Which the basis applies Basis Rent rates heating and light repairs and depriation of building Floor area occupied by each cost centre Depreciation insurement of equipment cost or book value of equipment Personnel office canteen welfare wages and cost offices first aid Number of employees or labour hours worked in each cost centre

18. Elm Co has two service departments serving two production departments Overhead costs apportioned to each department are as follows  service 1 department is expected to work a total of 40000 hours for the other departments divided as follows hours  production1 20000  production2 15000  service2 5000 sevrice 2 department is expected to a total of 12000 hours for the other departments, devided as follows hours production1 3000 production2 8000 service1 1000 QUESTION

21. Remember to apportion both the general and allocated overheads The bases of apportionment for Maintenance and Stores are the same as for the above example ABMaintenanceStores Total overhead 93030606703484018660 Apportion maintenance 1742013936(34840)3484 NIL22144 Apportion stores 162864429 (22144) 4429NIL Apportion maintenance 22151772(4429)442 NIL442 Apportion stires 332110NIL(442) Total overhead 126283 80917 NIL NIL

22. (a)It does not matter which department you choose to apportion first Apportioned as follows: Maintenance hours worked in department Tota; maintenance hours worked *34840 production department A 5000/10000*34840=17420 production department B 4000/10000*34840=13936 stores department= 1000/10000*34840=13936 (b) Stores overheads are apportioned as follows: Number of stores requisitions for department Total number of stores requisitions * 22144 Production department A=3000/5000*22144=13286 Production department B=1000/5000*22144=4429 Maintenance =1000/5000*22144=4429  (c)Stores requisitions for A Total stires requisitions(A+B) *Stores overheads=3000/4000*442=332

23. 4.5 The reciprocal (algebraic) method of apportionment The results of the reciprocal method of apportionment may also be obtained using algebra and simultaneous equations. Example:Swotathon using the algebraic method of apportionment Let M=total overheads for the Maintenance department S=total overheads for the Stores department

24.  Remember that total overheads for the Maintenance department consist of general overheads apportioned,allocated overheads and the share of Stores overheads(20%).  Similarly,total overheads for Stores will be the total of general overheads apportioned, allocated overheads and the 10% share of Maintenance overheads.  M=0.2S+$34,840 (1)  S=0.1M+$18,660 (2)

25.  Multiply equation (1) by 5 to give us  5M=S+174,200 (3), which can be rearranged as  S=5M-174,200 (4)  Subtract equation (2) from equation (4)  S=5M-174,200 (4)  S=0.1M+$18,660 (2)  0=4.9M-192,860  4.9M=192,860 M=$39,359 Substitute M=$39,359 into equation (2)

26. S=0.1x39,359+18,660=22,596 These overheads can now be appoetioned to the production departments using the proportions above. A B Maintenance Stores Overheads costs 93,030 60,670 34,840 18,660 Apportion maintenance (50%/40%/10%)19,680 15,743 (39,359) 3,936 Apportion stores (60%/20%/20%) 13,558 4,519 4,519 (22,596) Total 126,268 80,932 Nil Nil You will notice that the total overheads for production departments A and B are the same regardless of the method used. 
