Following is the formula for total cost
total cost = fixed overheads + variable overheads + direct labor + direct material
Under the contribution approach (variable costing), all variable expenses (both manufacturing and non-manufacturing) are deducted first from sales to arrive at contribution margin. Fixed costs (both manufacturing and non manufacturing) are deducted from contribution margin to arrive at net income before taxes. Under traditional approach (absorption costing), all the manufacturing costs (both fixed and variable) are deducted from sales to arrive at gross profit (margin). Non-manufacturing (Selling and administrative) costs are then deducted from gross margin to arrive at net income before taxes.
utilities is a fixed cost.^not entirely true. utility costs are fixed when it's relatively the same every month, like a retail store open the same number of hours. however, it is a variable cost if it changes a lot, like a manufacturing company using more or less electricity when there are higher or lower demands for products.

If agreed by the Bank/Loaner - fixed load has fixed interest
Compute the actual and budgeted manufacturing overhead rate
Fixed manufacturing overhead budget variance is?
The difference between fixed overhead and variable overhead is that fixed overheads are the ones that do not change regardless and variable overheads are the ones that vary depending on the number of units that it produces. An example of fixed overhead is a managers salary.
A cost that is not fixed.
The two types of overhead are fixed overhead and variable overhead. Fixed overhead remains constant regardless of production levels, while variable overhead fluctuates in direct proportion to production activity.
it doens't
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.
Overhead refers to the cost of a business in a particular period. Specifically, overhead points to fixed and indirect costs. They are non-labor costs. Non-labor costs are variable or fixed. Rent and salaries are examples of fixed costs. Advertising and supplies are variable costs.

Fixed MOH stands for fixed manufacturing overhead. It includes overhead costs that do not vary with production levels, such as rent on the manufacturing facility or management salaries. Fixed MOH is allocated to products based on predetermined rates or cost drivers.
What arguments are there in favor of treating fixed manufacturing overhead costs as product costs? As period costs?
Combined overhead variance = fixed overhead variance + variable overhead varianceFixed Overhead :which remains fixed and donot change upto certain level of productionVariable Overhead: which keep changing with the change in production units.
