Best Answer

APPLIED Overhead is computed using the predetermined overhead rate and is the amount of costs applied (or estimated) to be allocated (needed) for specific jobs. ACTUAL Overhead is found after the manufacturing process is complete which gives the actual amount of used/consumed resources (or total costs) that it needed to complete the job. The two amounts can then be compared afterward which is known as Under- or Overapplied Manufacturing Overhead. When Manufacturing Overhead has a DEBIT balance, overhead is said to be UNDERAPPLIED, meaning that the overhead applied to work in process or to the certain job is LESS than the overhead incurred. On the contrary, when manufacturing overhead has a CREDIT balance, overhead is OVERAPPLIED, meaning that the overhead assigned to work in process or to the certain job is GREATER than the overhead incurred.

What is Production Variance?

In most production management systems, a "Planned" quantity and material cost is calculated based on the associated Bill of Materials (BOM) and Operatons being performed (Route) creating labor and overhead related costs. The "Actual" quantities, material costs, and labor/overhead costs are issued to a Work in Process (WIP) account and the quantities/values of the produced items are recieved from the WIP account. A variance usually occurs when there is a difference between the issued material cost plus labor and overhead and the recieved material cost of the produced item. The reasons for these variances can be differences in planned vs actual quantities, differences in system or planned cost of materials, labor, or overhead vs actual cost, or any other potential reason for an unplanned difference.
