Example- Indirect Material Cost Indirect Labour Cost Indirect Expenses

  4. Distribution Of Overheads Step 1 -> Classification of Overheads Step 2 -> Collection of Overheads Step 3 -> Allocation of Overheads Step 4 -> Apportionment of Overheads Step 5 -> Re-apportionment of service department overheads Step 6 -> Absorption of Overheads

  5. Classification Of Overheads

  6. Collection of Overheads • Collection of overheads means the collection of various items of overheads under suitable account heading and a unique Standing Order Number(S.O.N.) or Cost Account Number(C.A.N.).

METHODS • On Non Reciprocal Basis/Step ladder method • On Reciprocal Basis- • Simultaneous Equation Method • Repeated Distribution Method • Trial & Error Method

  11. Methods Of Absorption Of Overheads Overhead Absorption Rate = Total overheads of cost centre/ Total Quantum of base METHODS • Percentage Of Direct Material Cost • Percentage of Direct Labour Cost • Percentage of Prime Cost • Direct Labour Cost • Machine Hour Rate • Rate Per Unit Of Production

  12. Percentage of Direct Material Cost Factory Overhead Rate = Amount of Production overheads/ Direct Cost Material x 100 • Percentage Of Direct Labour Cost Factory Overhead Rate = Amount Of Production Overheads/ Direct Labour Cost x 100 • PercentageOf Prime Cost Method Factory Overhead Rate = Amount Of Production Overheads/ Prime Cost x 100
