Variable overhead cost variance is that variance which is in variable overheads costs between the standard cost and the actual variable cost WHILE fixed overheads cost variance is variance between standard fixed overhead cost and actual fixed overhead cost.
Direct labor and direct materials are the components of prime cost so no other cost is part of prime cost and hence variable overheads also not included in prime cost.
Total cost price = Material cost + labor cost + overheads costs
Only direct material and direct labor is part of prime cost while overheads are part of conversion cost so indirect labor is part of overheads so automatically part of conversion cost and not prime cost.
overhead allotment means the charging of overheads to cost units or cost centres.
cost sheet is division of three parts like 1.factory overheads,2.administration overheads,3.selling & distribution overhead. on the basis of this total exact cost is caculated,as it is too important for and cost & work accountant.
materials, labour and overheads
It is the wholesale price plus a share of the overheads.
Following is the formula for total costtotal cost = fixed overheads + variable overheads + direct labor + direct material
Overheads are indirect costs which cannot be traced in to any specified cost objects
overhead allotment means the charging of overheads to cost units or cost centres.
marginal costing considers only direct) materials,labour,expenses and variable factory overheads excluding fixed factory overheads but absorption considers (direct) materials ,labour,expenses,variable and fixed factory overheads.
