Overhead VariancesOverhead Variances
The difference between actual overhead and applied overhead is an overhead variance.
If actual overhead > applied overhead: underapplied overhead
If actual overhead < applied overhead: overapplied overhead
Disposal of variance:
If immaterial, assign to cost of goods sold.
If material, allocate among inventories and cost of goods sold.

Non-Unit-Related Overhead CostsNon-Unit-Related Overhead Costs
The use either plantwide or departmental rates assumes that the number of units produced
causes overhead costs to increase.
Example: setup costs or engineering costs
There are some overhead costs that are not driven by the number of units produced.
Product diversity can also cause product cost distortion.

Limitations of Plantwide and Limitations of Plantwide and Departmental RatesDepartmental Rates 2
Example of Unit-Based Overhead RatesExample of Unit-Based Overhead Rates
This schedule uses the data from exhibit 4-2 to determine unit cost using a plantwide overhead rate. The plantwide rate is multiplied by the actual direct labor hours to determine the overhead to be applied to scented and regular cards.

Example of Unit-Based Overhead RatesExample of Unit-Based Overhead Rates
This schedule uses the data from exhibit 4-2 to determine unit cost using department overhead rates. The cutting department’s rate is multiplied by the actual direct labor hours and the printing department’s rate is multiplied by actual machine hours to determine the overhead to be applied to scented and regular cards.

Example of Activity-Based Overhead RatesExample of Activity-Based Overhead Rates
The schedule on the previous slide uses the data from exhibit 4-2 and the consumption ratios from exhibit 4-5 to determine unit cost using activity overhead rates. Each activity (set-up, machining, inspecting and moving materials) applies some of the total overhead The activity rate is multiplied by the actual activity driver to determine the overhead to be applied to scented and regular cards.

Activity-based costing is most beneficial when
Multiple products are produced
Product diversity exists
Non-unit-level overhead is a significant percentage of production costs.

1. Identify, define, and classify activities and key attributes.

Example: a supervisor’s salary is assigned to a primary activity.

4. Identify cost objects and specify the amount of each activity consumed by specific cost objects.
1. Cost objects are identified. Examples include products, services, materials, and customers.
2. Activity drivers are used to measure the demands placed on activities. Transaction drivers and duration drivers are used in most ABC systems.

5. Calculate primary activity rates.
Primary activity rates are computed by dividing budgeted activity costs by estimated activity output.
Primary activity rates are multiplied by the actual activity output to determine total costs. Total costs are then divided by the number of units to determine unit cost.
6. Assign activity costs to cost objects.

Classifying ActivitiesClassifying Activities
Classifying activities into categories aids in product costing because the cost behavior differs by level. The four levels are:
Unit-level
Batch-level
Product-level
Facility-level

Reducing the Size and Complexity of Reducing the Size and Complexity of an ABC Systeman ABC System 4
Approximately Relevant ABC Systems
Use only the most expensive activities for ABC assignment. These costs are assigned using cause-and-effect drivers.
All other activity costs are added to cost pools of the expensive activities and assigned arbitrarily.

Equally Accurate Reduced ABC Systems
Use expected consumption ratios to reduce the number of drivers.
Equally accurate systems can be derived from complex ABC systems.
Perceived complexity is eliminated
Only actual driver data is collected

ABC DatabaseABC Database
Steps to create an ABC database:
Define and model the entities (objects) involved in the operation of an ABC system.
Develop a conceptual view portraying the entities and their relationships.
Identify the attributes associated with each entities.

First Stage - After the database is created, the data can be retrieved. Activity rates are then calculated.
Second Stage – Pooled activity costs are assigned to individual products.
