Week 09
Accounting for overheads and product costs
2
Objectives
• To introduce
- The process for dealing with overhead costs- Marginal costing - Absorption costing- Activity based costing
• To compare the three costing systems
3
Key concept 16.1 – Direct and indirect costs
4
Key concept 16.2 – Full costing
5
Figure 16.1 – components of cost of goods sold
6
Key concepts – Stages in the apportionment process
7
Key concept 16.3 – Activity based costing
8
Key concept 16.4 – Marginal costing
9
Absorption costing
Absorption costing – uses predetermined overhead rates
• Budgeted costs / output
• Actual costs / output
• Difference between budget and actual = under or over absorption of overhead costs
10
Costing systems
• Job costing
• Process costing
11
Inventory valuations
• Marginal costing of inventory excludes production overheads
• Full costing of inventory includes production overheads
12
Absorption Costing Example
Stroud Ltd is a small manufacturing company which operates from rented premises on a trading estate.
The following is available regarding its overheads.
The company is split into 5 cost centres
Cutting, Painting and Assembling, which are production departments, and two production-related service departments, maintenance and canteen.

NOTE The maintenance department provides services to all production departments and to the canteen, but not to itself.The canteen provides services to all production departments and to the
maintenance department, but not to itself.
Required:Allocate and apportion overheads to production departments using appropriate apportionment bases.

Apportionment bases
The company has provided data on one of its lines, "The Moreton" as shown below:
The company expects to manufacture 5,000 units of this product
Details per unit are:Direct materials 4 Kg of materials @ £1.50 per Kg
Direct labourCutting Dept 2 hours @ £6.00 per hourPainting Dept 3 hours @ £4.00 per hourAssembling Dept 5 hours @ £5.50 per hour
Machine use in the Cutting Dept is expected to be 10,000 hours (ie 2 hours per unit)Required:Calculate the overhead absorption rates for each production department using the most appropriate apportionment base.
17
Solution – appropriate apportionment bases
Cutting Dept 85,137/10,000 = £8.51 per machine hourPainting Dept 56,749/15,000 = £3.78 per labour hourAssembling Dept 86,114/25,000 = £3.44 per labour hour
Then:On the basis of the information you have been given and have calculated
Calculate the full cost of ONE unit of this product.
