3. Cost Accounting:
• Cost accounting is a form of managerial accounting that aims to
capture a company's total cost of production .
• It assess the variable costs of each step of production as well as fixed
costs.
• Cost accounting is used internally by management in order to make
fully informed business decisions.
• Cost accounting is not required to adhere to set standards and can be
flexible to meet the needs of management.

8. Factory Overhead:
• Factory overhead is the costs incurred during the manufacturing process, not
including the costs of direct labor and direct materials.
• Factory expenses (e.g., rent, rates, insurance, water, heat, and electricity).
• Factory maintenance (e.g., cleaning, servicing, repairs, oiling, and greasing).
• Depreciation of factory plant and machinery and buildings.
• Consumable stores and all forms of indirect material.
• Wages and salaries (other than direct labor) of persons engaged in the factory.

11. Factory Overhead Variance:
• Difference between Actual FOH incurred and Applied FOH during the year.
• Under applied FOH is regarded as unfavorable sign.
Actual FOH > Estimated FOH = Unfavorable
• Overapplied FOH is regarded as favorable sign.
Actual FOH < Estimated FOH = Favorable

12. Total Factory overhead Variance:
Actual FOH variance
• Fixed FOH + Variable FOH
450,000 + 680,000
=1,130,000
Absorbed FOH variance
• Actual Capacity Attained * Absorption rate
220,000 * 1,005,000/200,000
= > 220,000 * 5.25
= 1,155,000
Actual DLH * Estimated Fixed FOH +Estimated Variable FOH
Estimated Direct Labor Hour

13. Causes of Variance:
Capacity Variance
Absorbed FOH - Capacity Attained FOH
•
Actual Capacity Attained * Absorption rate Actual Fixed FOH + (Capacity Attained * Variable rate)
