Use of a Predetermined
Overhead Rate
Because of the impossibility of tracing
overhead to specific jobs or specific
products, overhead cost is apportioned
among jobs and units.
A predetermined overhead rate permits a
consistent and logical allocation to each unit
of output.

COMPUTING FOR OVERHEAD

PHYSICAL OUTPUT
Physical output or units of production is the simplest
base for applying factory overhead
Estimated Factory Overhead = Factory Overhead per unit
Estimated units of production
Example:
If Estimated Factory overhead is $300,000 and the
company intends to produce 250,000 units during
the next period, then the FOH per unit is charged
$1.2 ( $ 300.000 : 250.000 units).
Then an order with 1,000 completed units, is
charged 1,000 x $1.2 = $1,200 of Factory Overhead
16
Example:
If Estimated Factory overhead totals $300,000 and
est. materials cost $250.000, then the FOH rate is
$300,000 : $250,000 = 1.2 or 120 % of its direct
materials cost.
So, if the materials cost for an order is $5,000, Factory
Overhead charged to the order would be $5.000 x
1.2 = $6,000
17
Example:
If Estimated Factory overhead is $300,000 and total direct
labor cost is estimated at $500,000, then FOH rate is $300,000 :
$500,000 = 0.6 or 60 %.
So, a job or product with a direct labor cost $12,000 is
charged $12.000 x 60% = $7,200 for Factory Overhead.
18
Example:
If estimated Factory overhead totals $300,000
and direct labor hours are est. 60,000, then
factory overhead rate is ($300.000 : 60,000) = $5
per direct labor hour
A job with 800 DLH, is charged 800 x $5 = $4,000
for factory overhead
19
Example:
If estimated factory overhead totals $300,000 and a total of
20,000 machine hours are estimated, the FOH rate is $300,000
: 20,000 machine hours (MH) = $15 per MH
So, a job or product that requires 120 machine hours is
charged 120 x $15 = $1,800 for Factory Overhead
Steps in Computation of
Departmentalized Overhead
Rate
1. Divide the company into segments, called departments, cost
centers, to which expenses are charged.

Lubricants Telephone/Fax

Immediate Write-Off
This method regards the $17,000 as a reduction in
current income and adds it to Cost of Goods Sold.

Prorating Among Inventories
This method prorates the P17,000 of
underapplied overhead to Work-In Process (WIP),
Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold accounts
assuming the following ending account balances:
P17,000 × 155/2,667
= 988 to Work-in-Process Inventory
P17,000 × 32/2,667
= P204 to Finished Goods Inventory
P17,000 × 2,480/2,667
= P15,808 to Cost of Goods Sold
Prorating Among Inventories
This method prorates the P17,000 of
underapplied overhead to Work-In-Process (WIP),
Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold accounts.
