Chapter 4 Overhead Disposition Prepared by Diane Tanner University of North Florida
GL Accounts Used to Accumulate MOH • Two options in GL accounts for manufacturing overhead • Use separate accounts for the actual MOH costs and the MOH applied amounts • Assign actual MOH costs to MOH Control • Assign applied MOH costs to Applied MOH • Use one MOH control account to post both actual and applied amounts • Debit side = Actual MOH costs • Credit side = Applied MOH costs
Status of Manufacturing Overhead Control Account at Year-End • Underapplied • If a single MOH control account is used, a debit balance exists • Implies not enough overhead cost was applied • Overapplied • If a single MOH control account is used, a credit balance exists • Indicates too much overhead cost was applied
Disposing of Over/Underapplied MOH Two approaches 1) Write off to CGS • Assumes the over or underapplied amount is immaterial 2) Proration approach • Assumes the over or underapplied amount is material • Prorates to the accounts that contain MOH based on: • The balances of these accounts • The amount of MOH in these accounts
