3 Understanding the Meaning of Overheads Difference between Direct Costs & Overheads Allocation, Apportionment & Absorption of OH Identifying under or over absorption of OH Understand accounting & control of Factory, Administrative, Selling & Distribution OHs

4 All those expenses which can not be identified or traced with a particular unit of production is termed as overheads. In a modern day manufacturing unit there are certain expenses incurred on general services & facilities which are essential for the manufacturing process but which can t be directly identified with articles produced or services rendered

5 Overheads are generally and predominantly period costs and associated with a facility or a department in an organisation. With the automation of the production process the cost of the facility and ancillary services have increased drastically and are forming a major portion of the total cost of production. It has overtaken material and/or labour cost. Hence controlling of overheads has assumed a greater significance than ever before

6 In fact, overheads have assumed such a significance that in some of the developed countries the study of overhead has become a subject in itself and is known as Activity Based Costing or ABC We shall take up a comparative study of Overhead cost control and Activity Based Costing at a later stage

7 As we all know the subject of cost accounting developed along with developments in the field of Management. One of the earliest and most often used Organisational Structure is Functional Departmentalisation. Based on this overheads are classified as follows Factory overheads Administrative overheads Selling & Distribution overheads Research & Development overheads

8 It is the sum total of all those indirect expenses which are incurred from the point when the materials are issued for production and ends with the primary packing of the product. i.e all those expenses incurred within the factory premises from the beginning of the production to the point of primary packing is termed as Factory Overheads or Works overheads

9 It is the sum total of all indirect cost incurred in managing an organisation. By definition The cost of formulating the policy, directing the organisation and controlling the functions of an organisation and which can t be attributed to manufacturing, selling & distributing or research & development activity or function

10 Sales overheads are those costs which are incurred in creating and stimulating the demand for a particular product or service. Distribution overheads are those cost which are incurred on the activities starting from making the packed product available for dispatch and up to the cost of making the reconditioned returned empty package ready for reuse

11 Research overheads are those costs which are incurred to search for new or improved products, new application for the materials, new or improved methods Development overheads are those costs which are incurred to implement the decision to produce new or improved products

12 If the research & development is towards an existing product or improving the process of production, then the same will be added to Factory or works overheads and absorbed into the cost of production. If it is incurred on developing a new product it is treated as a separate overhead and charged to costing profit & loss account.

13 Purely financial nature Capital in nature Expenses or Income of Discretionary or arbitrary costs incurred due to policy of the management Appropriation of profit

14 Based on the nature of the overheads are classified into Fixed Does not change with the level of activity Variable Changes in direct proportion to level of activity Semi-variable Changes with level of activity but not proportionately

15 Element-wise Indirect Materials Indirect Labour Indirect Expenses Controllability Controllable & Uncontrollable

16 One of the main objectives for development of cost accounting is to design a system which would furnish the management with an estimate which is accurate and close to reality. This involves estimation of various costs involved because only direct costs like Materials, labour and direct expenses are the ones which are readily available, all other indirect expenses will have to be estimated. Based on such estimates recovery rates have to be arrived at

17 The various overheads are estimated at the beginning of the year and on a suitable scientific basis a recovery rate is arrived at. This is known as Overhead Recovery Rate (ORR) or Standing Order Rate (SOR) The ORR or SOR helps in preparation of cost sheet to arrive at the cost of sale of a product or service as soon as the prime cost is known

18 Allocation It means assigning or allotment or identifying of an entire item of cost with a particular cost centre or cost unit Apportionment There are some items of cost which can t be directly identified with any particular cost centre or cost unit. These have to distributed to all those departments or cost centres which are utilising the benefits on a rational basis, this is termed as apportionment

19 Re-apportionment Once the overheads are allocated and apportioned to all the departments, the cost of service departments will have to be reapportioned to the production departments Absorption It is the process of applying & recovering the overheads to the cost of production of a product

20 It is to be noted that Allocation and Apportionment are facility or department or cost centre level activities, whereas Absorption is a product level activity i.e absorption is the process of recovering the overheads from all the products which have passed through a particular department or a cost centre.

21 Estimation & Collection of Overheads Determining Recovery /Standing Order Rates Departmentalisation / Allocation of overheads Apportioning of the Overheads to various Deptt Re-apportionment of Service Department overheads to Production Departments Absorbing overheads over cost units/products

22 Direct redistribution Method Step Method or Non Reciprocal Method Reciprocal Service Method Simultaneous Equation Method Repeated Distribution Method Trial & Error Method

23 Percentage of direct materials Percentage of prime cost Percentage of direct labour cost Labour hour rate Machine hour rate Rate per unit of output method

24 Normal Rate Predetermined overhead rate Blanket overhead rate Departmental Overhead rate

25 Overheads are applied to production on a predetermined overhead recovery rate. The actual overheads incurred during a period will vary from the overheads applied or absorbed into production. The difference between overheads applied or absorbed and actual overheads incurred results in under or over recovery of overheads

26 Under or over recovery of overheads may result due to Actual Overhead being higher or lower than budgeted overheads Actual production being higher or lower than the budgeted production Both overhead and production changing but not in the same proportion

27 The difference in overheads incurred and absorbed is also called as overheads variance If the under or over absorption is not material it is transferred to Costing Profit & Loss A/c and the cost of individual products is not affected. If the under or over absorption is materail then the same is applied to the cost of individual products by using a supplementary overhead recovery rate

28 That portion of under or over absorbed overheads which is attributable to goods manufactured and sold, will have to be added to cost of sales. That portion of under or over absorbed overheads which is attributable to Stock of Finished Goods and WIP will have to be adjusted in their carrying values Any under or over absorption resulting out of abnormal reasons will have to be transferred to Costing Profit & Loss Account

29 Administrative overheads are the expenses incurred on General Management, accounting and other administrative services which can t be directly attributed to Production, Marketing, Distribution, Research & Development activities They are incurred in connection with formulating the policies, Directing the organisation and controlling the operations of an undertaking

30 Administrative overheads are dealt with as follows Apportioning them to Production & Sales Departments Charging it to Costing Profit & Loss Account Recovering Administration overheads separately to cost of production / Sales on the basis of Works Cost, Sales Value or Quantity, Gross profit,quantity Produced or Conversion cost

31 Classification and Analysis of Overheads by departments according to their functions Control through Budgets Control through standard

32 It is the sum total of the expenses incurred from the point of secondary packing and ending with making the reconditioned returned empty package ready for reuse We have discussed the meaning at length earlier in this chapter, let us look at the aspects of accounting & control over S&D OH

33 S&D Overheads are collected on the standing order numbers and analysed The bases used for distribution are Sales Value of Goods sold Cost of Goods Sold Gross Profit on Sales No of orders or Units sold

34 Sales value is considered to be the most logical basis for recovering S&D OH since there is a direct relationship between the amount spent on selling & distribution activities and the sales achieved. There is no relationship between Cost of Production or Gross Profit and the sales achieved and hence these can t be a logical basis for recovering S&D OHs

35 The most widely used basis for Recovering S&D OHs is an estimated amount per unit. The S&D expenses are categorised into fixed and variable portion. The fixed expenses are apportioned on the basis of the benefit derived The variable S&D expenses are packaging, freight outwards, commission payable to sales man etc, these are ascertained unit wise and added to the fixed S&D expenses to arrive at total S&D OH / unit

36 Controlling S&D OHs is a difficult task since Sales Budget is the master budget based on which an organisation plans its entire operations. S&D OHs are critical to achieve the targeted sales The quantum of S&D OHs depends on external factors like competition, product positioning, target audience etc & hence difficult to control These are policy costs and hence difficult to control

37 Even though it is very difficult to control the S&D OHs the following are some of the methods to control S&D OHs Comparison with past performance Budgetary Control Standard Costing

38 Rated / Installed Capacity It is the maximum capacity of a machine/plant as Indicated by its manufacturer. It is a theoretical capacity since 100% efficiency is seldom achieved Practical /Operating Capacity It is the actual production time available for any machinery/plant after taking into account the normal idle time, maintenance and delays. It is also called as net capacity or available capacity. It is also used to determine the overhead recovery rate or standing order rates

39 Normal Capacity It is that capacity which a plant is expected to be utilised over long term based on expected sales Actual Capacity It is the actual utilisation during the given period Idle Capacity It is that portion of the installed capacity which was not utilised for production, this may be due to slack Demand, non availability of raw materials or skilled labourers, power or fuel or Seasonal nature

40 The idle capacity cost is treated as follows If it is due to unavoidable reasons then the cost is recovered by applying a supplementary overhead recovery rate and added to cost If it is due to avoidable reasons then the cost is transferred to costing P&L A/c If it is due to seasonal factors, then it is charged to the product as a part of ORR

41 Interest & Financial Charges Pure financial costs like interest and dividend are excluded from cost since the incurrence of the same depends on the Financial Managers decision as regards capitalisation of a business. Inclusion of financial cost will increase the cost of production of a product and there by the selling price and consequently the sales or market share

42 Depreciation It is a charge to reflect the reduction in intrinsic value of an asset due to normal wear & tear or by efflux of time and hence it is considered as a Cost. Moreover it is provided to maintain the production capacity or for replacing an asset after its useful life and hence it is cost and considered as such in costing

43 Packing Primary packing which is necessary to maintain the product for its intended use forms part of production cost. Cost of packing which is to facilitate movement and grab the attention of the customer is treated as Distribution and Selling Expenses respectively Specific special packing done at the behest of the customer is directly charged to such customer/order

44 Fringe Benefits & Canteen Expenses & Welfare Activities Cost These are additional expenses incurred to boost the morale of the workers and hence forms part of either labour cost or production overhead Expenses on Removal & Re-erection of Machine If it is due to routine maintenance it will be treated as plant cost and recovered as depreciation or production overheads. If its due to faulty planning then the same is transferred to Costing P&L A/c

45 Bad Debts Training Expenses Normally these are excluded from cost, but some authors feel that it should form part of S&D Ohs Normal training Expenses are treated as part of labour cost, however training cost incurred due to abnormal labour turnover should be transferred to costing P&L A/c

46 Carriage and Cartage Expenses These are transportation costs and are included in material cost if its incurred on raw materials, In FOH if its incurred on indirect materials In S&D OH if its incurred on finished goods Night Shift Allowance If is due to general work pressure it forms part of the labour cost, if incurred at the behest of a customer then it is charged to that particular job, if its due to faulty planning it is transferred to costing P&L A/c

47 Overheads represent expenses that have been incurred to provide certain ancillary facilities or services which facilitate or make possible the carrying out of the production process, by itself these facilities or services are not of any use Over heads are classified as follows On functionality Factory or Manufacturing, Administration, Selling & Distribution and R&D Overheads On Nature Fixed, Variable and Semivariable

48 Allocation, Apportionment, Reapportionment and Absorption Allocation is identifying a cost with a particular activity or a cost centre Apportionment is distribution of Overheads which can t be allocated, on a rational basis to all user departments or departments utilising such benefit Reapportionment is the process of reapportioning or redistributing service department costs to production departments Absorption is applying the allocated, apportioned & reapportioned overheads to products or services

49 Methods of Reapportionment Direct Redistribution method Step Method or Non Reciprocal Method Reciprocal Services Method Simultaneous Equation Method Repeated Redistribution Method Trial & Error Method Bases for Overhead Recovery Blanket ORR, Percentage of Direct Materials, Percentage of Prime Cost, Percentage of Direct Labour Cost, LHR, MHR

50 Methods of Accounting & Control of Admin OH Apportioning AOH between Production & Sales Dept Charging to Costing P&L A/c Treating AOH as a separate addition to cost of production or sales Bases of apportionment Works Cost, Sales Value or Quantity Gross Profit on Sales, Quantity Produced Conversion Cost etc
