Direct labor are not part of overhead costs and shown separately while indirect labor are part of overhead costs and included in overhead cost because those labor cannot be allocated separately or identifiable separately.
Direct material and direct labor are the parts of prime cost while indirect labor is part of manufacturing overhead and manufacturing overhead is a part of conversion cost that's why indirect labor is not part of prime cost because it is that type of labor which is not directly identifiable with units production that;s why cannot charge directly to production units.
Indirect labor is part of overhead costs and included in total product cost.
Prime cost includes direct material and direct labor without which no goods can be manufactured while production overhead is that other cost which is not directly identifiable with product but which is required to run factory operations.
Direct labor and Factory overhead
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.
Following is the formula for total costtotal cost = fixed overheads + variable overheads + direct labor + direct material
Direct labor are not part of overhead costs and shown separately while indirect labor are part of overhead costs and included in overhead cost because those labor cannot be allocated separately or identifiable separately.
Variable manufacturing overhead cost per direct labor hour means the variable overhead cost spent for one single labor hour and formula is as follows:Variable overhead cost per labor hour = total variable overhead cost / Total direct labor hours
Overhead cost is part of total cost and not different from total cost as formula is as follows: Total cost = material cost + labor cost + overhead cost
Direct material and direct labor are the parts of prime cost while indirect labor is part of manufacturing overhead and manufacturing overhead is a part of conversion cost that's why indirect labor is not part of prime cost because it is that type of labor which is not directly identifiable with units production that;s why cannot charge directly to production units.
material cost Labor cost Overhead Cost
Overhead rate : Overhead rate = total overhead cost / direct labor OR Overhead rate = Total overhead cost / machine hours.
false, direct labor and manufacturing overhead = conversion cost
A machine hour rate is the cost of one machine working for one hour. This is used in calculating overhead costs to work in process as opposed to using labor hours.
Indirect labor is part of overhead costs and included in total product cost.
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.
