Depreciation is not a manufacturing labor rather it is manufacturing overhead as machines used in manufacturing is not part of labor rather it is part of overhead.
what is factory overhead applied?
If the estimated materials, labor or overhead costs allocated for a manufacturing order is different from the actual cost of the MO then the potential result is a Manufacturing Overhead Variance.
manufacturing supplies is equal to factory overhead
the Work in Process account
The cost of the direct materials that can be used to manufacture the table are as follows. These cost are on a per unit basis. Table Top $ 1,700.00 Table Leg $ 500.00 Drawer $ 370.00 Assume a $35 per hour wage rate to the assembly employees. The company uses a job order costing system and applies manufacturing overhead to jobs based on direct labor hours. The company estimates that there will be 12 direct labor hours worked during the month. The estimated manufacturing overhead cost for the month is: a. Factory supervisor salary per month $ 3,500.00 b. Rent for the factory per month $ 1,300.00 c. Depreciation of factory equipment per month $ 600.00 Total Estimated manufacturing overhead $ 5,400.00
The predetermined overhead rate used to apply overhead to finished jobs is determined before the period begins.
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.
Predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor cost = Budgeted overhead cost / direct labor cost / 100 Predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor cost = budgeted overhead cost / direct labor hours.
There is a variance.
what is plantwide manufacturing overhead
No. Cost would include the cost of materials. Overhead would not.
Weaver Company's predetermined overhead rate is $18.00 per direct labor-hour and its direct labor wage rate is $12.00 per hour.
RUNOVER
You take estimated overhead divided by the estimated level of production activity. It is used to assign overhead to production.
Depreciation is not a manufacturing labor rather it is manufacturing overhead as machines used in manufacturing is not part of labor rather it is part of overhead.
Compute the actual and budgeted manufacturing overhead rate
