COLLECTION OF OVERHEADS


Collection of Overheads
  • Manufacturing overheads are collected under suitable standing order numbers and selling & distribution overheads against cost accounts numbers. 
  • Total overhead expenses so collected are apportioned to service and production departments on some suitable basis. 
  • The expenses of service departments are finally transferred to production departments. The total overhead of production departments is then applied to products on some realistic basis, e.g. machine hour; labour hour; percentage of direct wages; percentage of direct materials; etc.
