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. may not be solely applicable to factory overheads, endobj 1. In this case the cost is shared out over two or more cost centres according to the estimated benefit received by each cost centre. after sales service Primary Distribution of Overhead: Primary distribution involves apportionment or allocation of overhead to all departments in a factory on logical and rational basis. CHAPTER 4 This method is commonly used in those industries where machines are primarily used because in these industries overheads are mostly concerned with machines. If service department apportion its cost to production departments and other service departments and that other service departments likewise apportion their costs to production departments and apportion back to other service departments until total cost of both service departments are apportion to the production departments.

Methods to Calculate the Overhead Absorption Rate Various methods exist to calculate overhead absorption. 1. exhausted or the figures become to small to be considered for further apportionment. The typical procedure for allocating overhead is to accumulate all manufacturing overhead costs into one or more cost pools, and to then use an activity measure to apportion the overhead costs in the cost pools to inventory. Cost is apportioned when cost centres use only a proportion of the benefits of the whole expenses. Overheads, Treatment of factory overheads, All of these changes occurred because the number of people represented increased and . This process is called as 'Apportionment'of overheads. Expenses 8. (i) Rent, rates and Example: In steel, rolling mill, hot mill, cold mill, polishing, grinding are the production departments.

Example: Stores, cost office, personnel dept. So, the term allocation means the allotment of the whole item without division to a particular department or cost centre. If first service department apportion its cost to production department and other service department and that other service department apportion its cost to production department and does not reapportion its cost to first service department or does not apportion back its cost to first service department. insurance of This assumption is not valid since service departments not only render service to production departments but also mutually. endobj Overheads relating to service cost centres.

These departments are essential for smooth and efficient running of production departments. Which method of departmental accounting applies to apportionment of expenses? When workers are paid on a piece basis, this method will not give satisfactory results because the time factor is ignored. The number of such departments will depend upon the nature of industry, type of work 6 0 obj (iii)Value of Materials Passing through Cost Centres: This basis is adopted for expenses associated with material such as material handling expenses. departments. Production Departments manufacture products while service departments help them in this process. This method does not take into account factors other than labour. incurred for several departments have also to be apportioned e. expenses on rent, power, lighting, Using these methods, overheads are recovered, charged to, or absorbed in the factory cost. proportion to volume. The reciprocal service to C is ignored as, by now, it is not material.

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. The advice of technical personnel may also be useful on the apportionment of certain expenses, e.g., the cost of steam consumed by a particular department can be arrived at on the basis of the engineers estimates.
