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.
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?
manufacturing supplies is equal to factory overhead
the Work in Process account
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.
factory overhead should be allocated on basis of their apportiomen
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.
Traditional costing is a method in accounting where the manufacturing overhead costs are allocated to the products manufactured. It is also called as conventional costing.
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.
There is a variance.
what is plantwide manufacturing overhead
No. Cost would include the cost of materials. Overhead would not.
True
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.
One way is to adjust the COGS ( cost of goods sold). If overhead is under allocated add the difference to COGS, if it is over allocated subtract it from COGS.
Compute the actual and budgeted manufacturing overhead rate
