manufacturing overheads include all the expenses made in the factory for the production like depreciation, rent paid for the factory, tools used, supervisior's charge, electricity bill, amount paid for motive power etc. It excludes the prime cost ( direct matl, direct labour, direct expenses)...
Following is the formula for total costtotal cost = fixed overheads + variable overheads + direct labor + direct material
Overheads costs are indirect manufacturing costs which are not directly allocatable to units of products.
that is the order of manufacturing account Direct materials + Direct wages + Direct expenses (like loyalty fees) = prime cost Production overheads = indirect wages, depreciation Non Production overheads = like Work in progress
Direct Manufacturing costs are, Direct Labour but not overtime unless it is requested from the customer themselves. Direct materials used to produce the unit of output. Direct Overheads examples are wages of supervisors, foreman etc. All direct manufacturing costs are classed as prime costs. Hope this helps Andrew swift
