How do you determine the overhead rate when applying overhead costs?
Using direct labor hours: Overhead rate = Total Overhead Expenses /Direct labor hours Using Machine hours: Overhead rate = Total Overhead Expenses /Machine hours
What are the Reasons for using applied overhead versus actual overhead?
Using a predetermined rate makes itpossible to estimate total job costs sooner. Actual overhead for the period is notknown until the end of the period.
What factors contributed to the emergence of activity based costing in the 1980s?
The Traditional costing system used to allocate/assign overhead costs to products by using only volume based cost drivers. In fact, these traditional systems were designed decades ago when most companies manufactured a narrow range of products, and direct labour and materials were the dominant factory costs. Overheads costs were relatively small and the distortions arising from inappropriate overhead allocations were not significant. Danish Ayub
Applied overhead vs actual overhead?
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.
Disadvantages of using predetermined overhead absorption rates?
One disadvantage to using a predetermine overhead absorption rate is the fact that the rate may be too much for any particular product. If this happens, then the price of the product will be too much.
Definition of a predetermined overhead rate?
Predetermined overhead rate is that overhead rate calculated before start of production to allocate overhead costs to units of products by using some ratio in relation to some other cost like material cost or labor cost or labor hours etc.

Using direct labor hours: Overhead rate = Total Overhead Expenses /Direct labor hours Using Machine hours: Overhead rate = Total Overhead Expenses /Machine hours
What is a sentence using the word overhead?
The pipes run overhead in the ceilling. The overhead luggage compartment is quite small.
What will happen if you allocate memory using new and free it using free or allocate sing calloc and free it using delete?
The C++ new uses malloc internally to allocate memory and the C++ delete uses free internally to revoke memory. However, they are not interchangeable and so memory allocated with new MUST be revoked with delete. If you mix them up, you will have a memory leak! Haya.

What is the advantage of using a predetermined overhead application rate?

How many educator now a days are using overhead projector?
As high tech electronics are becoming more popular these days, the use of overhead projectors have deteriorated. More people are using "Smart" boards or "E" boards. The use of overhead projectors are slim to none.
What are the benefits of overhead garage doors?
My garage door is not functioning anymore and I would like to get an overhead garage door. What are the advantages of using such a configuration?
What are the advantages of using predetermined overhead rates?
The benefits of using predetermined overhead rates is that budgeting and allocation of cash flows become easier. It also helps the firm to conserve resources to stay within a budget.
