● A direct relationship between direct

a) Material Cost
b) Units of production

OVERHEAD VARIANCE
1. With the use of actual costing:
ACTUAL OVERHEAD = APPLIED OVERHEAD
since actual amount of overhead is being applied to production

2. With the use of normal costing:


ACTUAL OVERHEAD ≠ APPLIED OVERHEAD
since MOH account is debited for actual overhead and the
MOH account is credited for the amount of OH applied to
production.

1. ACTUAL OVERHEAD > APPLIED OVERHEAD


● MOH T-Account debit is greater than MOH
T-Account credit
● Overhead at the end of the period (before
adjustments) is UNDERAPPLIED.
2. ACTUAL OVERHEAD < APPLIED OVERHEAD
● MOH T-Account debit is lesser than MOH

● Overhead at the end of the period (before
adjustments) is OVERAPPLIED.

Activities for the production period were:


● Raw Materials net purchases, P386,000

● Actual Overhead incurred- utilities P89,000; rent

● The amount of variance is closed against

● If variance is Overapplied = COGS
Decreases
2. Overhead Variance is material:
● The amount of variance is closed and

THE FOHC ACCOUNT:

the indirect manufacturing costs incurred in a
production process.
● It is a suspense account that represents the
accumulation of all manufacturing overhead costs
during a specific accounting period.

NOTE:
● Under GAAP, we need to use actual cost. Hence, we
adjust the COGS.
● Adjustment is only done at the end because we only get

reporting period.

● When items of cost are identifiable directly with some


products or departments such costs are charged to cost
centers. This process is known as cost allocation.

basis is called allocation.

other information are extracted from the books for the month of
January 2022:

ALLOCATION OF OVERHEAD

● Thus allocation is a direct process of identifying


overheads to cost units or cost centers. So the term
allocation means allotment of the whole item of cost
to a particular cost center or cost object without any
division.

APPORTIONMENT OF OVERHEAD
● Cost Apportionment is the allotment of proportions of
items to cost centers.
● When items of cost cannot be directly charged to or
accurately identifiable with any cost centers, they are
prorated or distributed amongst the cost centers on
some predetermined and suitable basis.
● Layman’s term: Apportionment of overhead costs
means to divide total cost of overhead among different
departments or branches or cost centers of a company
● This method of allocation makes it possible to assess
the department’s operational efficiency. If the internal
cost for a service is greater than the price charged by an
external supplier, the service department could be
considered for elimination.
● Examples:
○ Purchasing, personnel, warehousing,
maintenance departments.

Methods of Allocating Service Department Costs

1. Direct Method
● Is the most widely used method.
● This method ignores any service rendered by
one service department to another.
ALLOCATION vs. APPORTIONMENT ● It allocates each service department’s total
● Allocation deals with the whole items of cost and cost directly to the producing departments.
apportionment deals with proportion of items of cost.
● Allocation is direct process of departmentalization of
overheads, where as apportionment needs a suitable
basis for sub-division of the cost
● Whether a particular item of expense can be allocated
or apportioned does not depends on the nature of
expense, but depends on the relation with the cost
centre or cost unit to which it is to be charged

Producing Department
● These departments perform the primary purpose of the
company—to produce goods and services for
consumers.
● They are cost accumulation centers in which work is
performed directly on the goods being produced.
● Examples of operating departments are the assembly
departments of manufacturing firms and the
departments in hotels that take and confirm
reservations. 3. Algebraic/Reciprocal Method

are, however and still, involved in producing goods.
● The costs of service departments are allocated to the
producing departments because they exist to support the
producing departments.

COST ACCOUNTING - Job Order Costing
Absorption of Overhead
● The ultimate aim of Overhead Accounting is to absorb
them in the product units produced by the firm.
● Thus, the indirect costs or overhead will have to be
distributed over the final products so that the charge is
complete.
● This process is known as cost absorption or
‘Absorption’ of overheads.
● FOH rate is used here!
C = 343,116.96
OH Variance is material
M = 152,710.62
When OH variance is material:
The amount of OH is closed and prorated against accounts in
which applied overhead resides: work-in process inventory,
finished goods inventory, and cost of goods sold.

some of the waste is due to inefficient use of materials
and if not eliminated, at least minimize.

Waste Vs. Scrap

● Waste as distinguished to scrap materials refers to any


amount of raw materials left-over from a production
process or production cycle for which there is no
further use. Waste is not usually salable at any price
and must be discarded.
● Note that the Journal Entries will vary depending on
