overhead variance- The difference between the actual overhead incurred by the company and the standard overhead estimated by the company called the overhead variance.
This document discusses accounting for manufacturing overhead costs. It defines manufacturing overhead as indirect factory costs incurred during production, such as utilities, supplies, and indirect labor. It also defines non-manufacturing or administrative overhead costs. The document provides an example of calculating manufacturing overhead applied to a job using a pre-determined overhead rate of $8 per direct labor hour. It applied the $8 rate to 27 direct labor hours, resulting in $216 of manufacturing overhead cost. Finally, it provides an example of how to calculate a pre-determined overhead rate of $8 per hour by dividing the estimated annual manufacturing overhead cost of $8,000 by the estimated annual direct labor hours of 1,000.
Different types of costs PPT ON COST ACCOUNTANCY MBABabasab Patil
The document discusses different types of costs including fixed and variable costs, incremental and sunk costs, real and opportunity costs, explicit and implicit costs, and total, average, and marginal costs. Fixed costs remain constant while variable costs depend on the level of output. Incremental costs refer to the change in total cost from producing one additional unit, while sunk costs cannot be recovered. Real costs refer to physical inputs while opportunity costs represent forgone benefits of alternative uses of resources. Total cost is the sum of fixed and variable costs, average cost is total cost divided by units of output, and marginal cost is the change in total cost from one additional unit.
This document summarizes key concepts around flexible budgets, overhead cost management, and activity-based budgeting from chapter 17:
1) A flexible budget accounts for a range of activity levels rather than a single planned level like a static budget. It allows comparison of actual costs to budgeted costs at the actual level of activity.
2) Flexible budgets are based on an activity driver like machine hours or units of output rather than inputs. This allows calculation of variable overhead rates and variances between actual and budgeted overhead costs.
3) Variance analysis separates flexible budget variances into variable overhead spending and efficiency variances and fixed overhead budget and volume variances to help management control overhead costs.
This document discusses variable costs and fixed costs. It provides examples to illustrate the differences between variable and fixed costs.
Variable costs change depending on production volume, while fixed costs remain the same regardless of production volume.

The total cost is the sum of fixed and variable costs. Incremental cost refers to the additional total cost of increasing production by one unit, and is related to marginal cost, which is the change in total cost from an additional unit of output.
This document discusses absorption costing and overhead allocation. It defines overheads as indirect costs that cannot be directly traced to products or departments. It explains that absorption costing shares overheads between products on a fair basis using allocation, apportionment, and absorption. Various overhead categories and cost centers are described. Methods for allocating and reapportioning overhead like direct and step-down methods are covered. Finally, it discusses determining predetermined overhead rates and absorbing overhead into production costs.
The document discusses different types of costs including variable costs, fixed costs, total fixed costs, total variable costs, total costs, average fixed costs, average variable costs, average total costs, marginal costs, and marginal revenue. It defines each type of cost and revenue and provides the relevant formulas to calculate them.
Absorption (Total) costing is a method of costing where all overheads must be allocated to products. It calculates the full production cost per unit by including both direct and indirect costs. Overheads are apportioned to cost centers and production departments based on factors like floor area, assets, orders, or personnel. Overhead absorption rates are set based on planned production volumes and budgets to determine the overhead amount recovered from each unit. Differences between actual and planned overhead expenditures and production volumes can lead to over-absorption or under-absorption of overheads.
1. There are differences between accounting costs and economic costs, as well as accounting profit and economic profit. Accounting only considers explicit costs, while economics considers both explicit and implicit opportunity costs.
2. Inputs can be either fixed or variable. In the short run, at least one input is fixed, while in the long run all inputs are variable. Production functions show the relationship between inputs and outputs.
3. Cost curves like total, average, and marginal costs are used to analyze costs in the short and long run. Economies and diseconomies of scale impact the long-run average cost curve.
The document discusses different types of costs that companies incur, including variable costs which change with production levels and fixed costs which remain constant regardless of production levels. It defines total costs as the sum of fixed and variable costs. Break-even analysis is introduced as a tool to determine the sales or production volume needed for total revenue to equal total costs. An example is provided of a flower shop calculating its fixed costs, variable costs per unit, selling price per unit, unit contribution, and break-even point in units. The break-even point is where total sales equals total costs and the company is neither profitable nor losing money.
The document discusses short-run and long-run time frames. In the short-run, some resources like capital are fixed, while variable inputs like labor can be adjusted. In the long-run, all resources can be varied. It also discusses concepts like total, average, and marginal product curves; total, average, and marginal costs; as well as economies and diseconomies of scale. Constant returns to scale occur when average costs remain constant as output increases in the long-run. Minimum efficient scale is the lowest point on the long-run average cost curve, where costs are lowest for a given output level.
This document defines and explains the different types of costs that a business may incur. It outlines opportunity cost versus actual cost, direct versus indirect costs, fixed versus variable costs, average versus marginal costs. Specific types of costs covered include explicit and implicit costs, historical and replacement costs, real and prime costs, total costs. The document provides examples and definitions for each cost type to clarify the concepts and how they are used in managerial decision making.
The document discusses the costs of production for a firm. It defines fixed costs as costs that do not vary with output, variable costs as costs that vary with output, and total costs as the sum of fixed and variable costs. Marginal cost is defined as the change in total cost from producing one additional unit of output. In the short run, costs are classified as either fixed or variable, but in the long run most costs can become variable. Cost curves like average total cost, average variable cost, and marginal cost are discussed and how they relate to costs and production levels.
Marginal costing is an alternative to absorption costing where only variable costs are charged as cost of sales. Fixed costs are treated as period costs. Closing inventories are valued at marginal cost. Contribution is the difference between sales revenue and marginal cost of sales, and it goes towards recovering fixed costs and generating profit. Break-even point is where contribution equals fixed costs and there is no profit or loss. Marginal costing focuses on distinguishing variable and fixed costs and uses marginal cost for inventory valuation and contribution for decision making.
Absorption costing vs. marginal costingshivpratap121
Marginal costing includes only variable costs when determining the cost per unit of a product, while absorption costing includes both variable and fixed costs. Marginal costing is useful for short-term decision making as it treats fixed costs as period costs, while absorption costing allocates fixed costs to each unit produced. Profits reported under the two methods may differ as absorption costing absorbs and adjusts for over- or under-absorbed fixed overhead costs, while marginal costing deducts fixed costs separately as period costs. A case example demonstrates the different profit calculations under each method.
Marginal costing is a technique used for managerial decision making that differentiates between fixed and variable costs. It treats variable costs as the cost of a product while fixed costs are charged to the profit and loss account, not individual products. The contribution margin, which is sales minus variable costs, and the profit-volume ratio, which is contribution divided by sales, are key concepts in marginal costing that help determine the profitability of products and the sales volume needed to break even.
This presentation defines different types of costs and explains them. There are opportunity costs versus actual costs, direct versus indirect costs, fixed versus variable costs, and average versus marginal costs. It also discusses historical costs versus replacement costs, explicit versus implicit costs, total costs, and the managerial uses of understanding different cost types.
The document discusses different theories of cost, including traditional and modern theories. Under traditional theory, costs are categorized as total, average, and marginal in both the short-run and long-run. Total cost equals total fixed cost plus total variable cost. Average cost depends on average fixed and average variable cost. Marginal cost is the change in total cost from producing one additional unit. In the long-run, all costs are variable. Modern theory proposes cost curves are L-shaped rather than U-shaped as traditionally thought.
Economic Costs refer to the sum of opportunity costs and accounting costs. It is the cost of choosing one economic activity over another. This means when we look at economic costs, it includes all the costs incurred to carry out a particular activity that have to be paid and the opportunity cost or the benefits from the next best alternative which had to be forgone in order to carry out this activity.

This document discusses production costs and different types of average costs. It defines average fixed costs, average variable costs, and average total costs. Fixed costs remain constant regardless of production quantity, while variable costs change with quantity. Average costs are calculated by dividing total costs by quantity. Marginal cost is defined as the change in total cost from producing one more unit. Formulae show marginal cost is the difference between total costs of two levels of output. A graph illustrates how marginal cost decreases initially as total cost rises at a diminishing rate, reaches a minimum, and then increases as the rate of change in total costs increases.
Cost Classification(fixed cost and variable cost) and BEPProsenjit Banerjee
This document discusses different types of costs in cost accounting:
1) Costs are classified as fixed costs, variable costs, or semi-variable (mixed) costs based on how they change with production volume. Fixed costs remain constant regardless of production volume, while variable costs change directly with production volume.
2) Fixed costs are further divided into committed fixed costs which are difficult to change in the short-run, and discretionary fixed costs which management can more easily control.
3) Break-even analysis examines the relationship between costs and revenue to determine the production volume needed to cover total costs. The break-even point is where total revenue equals total costs. Contribution margin analysis focuses on the profit contribution of
The document discusses different types of overhead cost variances. It defines an overhead cost variance as the difference between the amount of overhead applied during production and the actual overhead costs incurred. There are two main types of overhead cost variances - variable overhead cost variance and fixed overhead cost variance.
Variable overhead cost variance has three components - variable overhead cost variance, variable overhead expenditure variance, and variable overhead efficiency variance. Fixed overhead cost variance depends on efficiency, calendar days, and production capacity. It contains fixed overhead expenditure variance and fixed overhead volume variance, which has three sub-variances for efficiency, capacity, and calendar.
Variance analysis compares actual performance to budgets to identify deviations. There are different types of variances including material, labor, and overhead variances. Material variances measure differences in price and quantity used versus standard. Labor variances include rate, efficiency, idle time, mix, and yield. Overhead variances measure differences in variable and fixed overhead expenditures and volumes versus standards. The goal is to control costs by investigating variances and their causes.
Standard costing refers to expected costs under anticipated conditions and allows for comparison of standard versus actual costs. Differences between standard and actual costs are referred to as variances, which should be investigated if significant. Standard cost is the cost of a single unit while budgeted cost is the total cost of budgeted units. Target costing determines the allowable cost to earn a required profit, while kaizen costing continually reduces costs after design and production. Cost variances measure differences between planned and actual costs. Material, labor, and variable overhead variances compare standard and actual costs for these items.
Fixed costs remain constant regardless of production levels and include expenses like rent, insurance, and salaries. Variable costs change based on production volume and include materials and labor. The total cost is the sum of fixed and variable costs. Incremental cost refers to the additional total cost of increasing production by one unit, and is related to marginal cost, which is the change in total cost from an additional unit of output.

Marginal costing includes only variable costs when determining the cost per unit of a product, while absorption costing includes both variable and fixed costs. Marginal costing is useful for short-term decision making as it treats fixed costs as period costs, while absorption costing allocates fixed costs to each unit produced. Profits reported under the two methods may differ as absorption costing absorbs and adjusts for over- or under-absorbed fixed overhead costs, while marginal costing deducts fixed costs separately as period costs. A case example demonstrates the different profit calculations under each method.
Marginal costing is a technique used for managerial decision making that differentiates between fixed and variable costs.

It explains that setting standards and measuring variances from those standards allows companies to identify areas for improvement. The document then provides details on calculating different types of variances, including direct material, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead variances. It describes separating the total variance for each into a price and quantity component to help analyze the sources of unfavorable or favorable variances.
This document discusses production functions and the differences between short-run and long-run production. In the short-run, at least one input is fixed, leading to diminishing returns. The long-run allows all inputs to vary, and economies of scale can result in decreasing, constant, or increasing returns. Specifically, decreasing returns occur when output grows less than inputs; constant returns when both grow equally; and increasing returns when output grows more than inputs due to factors like specialization and large-scale machinery.

The document discusses manufacturing overhead variance calculations. It provides examples of calculating total, controllable, and volume variances given actual overhead costs, standard hours, budgeted overhead amounts, normal capacity hours and production levels. The total variance is the difference between actual overhead and applied overhead. The controllable variance is the difference between actual and budgeted overhead. The volume variance is based on fixed overhead rates and the difference between normal and actual capacity.
This document discusses various methods for accounting for overhead costs in management accounting. It covers budgeting overhead rates, applying overhead to products using a budgeted rate, and accounting for under- or over-applied overhead. It also compares variable costing and absorption costing methods, including calculating income statements and production volume variances under each method. The key difference between the methods is how fixed manufacturing costs are treated in determining cost of goods sold and gross profit.
Variance analysis involves computing the differences between actual and standard costs. It has two phases - computation of individual variances and determining the causes of variances. Variances are classified as material, labor, and overhead. Material variance is caused by differences in actual and standard quantities and prices of materials. Labor variances can be due to mix of labor grades or wage rates. Overhead variances arise from differences between actual and standard overhead amounts. Variance analysis helps identify reasons for deviations from standards and improve performance.

A research hypothesis is a statement created by researchers to speculate on the outcome of an experiment. Hypotheses are generated through inductive reasoning from observations and must be testable, falsifiable, and realistic. There are two types of errors in hypothesis testing: type I errors which incorrectly reject a true null hypothesis, and type II errors which fail to reject a false null hypothesis. Examples of hypotheses and errors are given for building inspections and the effects of fluoride in toothpaste.

Comparing Stability and Sustainability in Agile SystemsRob Healy
Copy of the presentation given at XP2024 based on a research paper.
In this paper we explain wat overwork is and the physical and mental health risks associated with it.
We then explore how overwork relates to system stability and inventory.
Finally there is a call to action for Team Leads / Scrum Masters / Managers to measure and monitor excess work for individual teams.

Impact of Effective Performance Appraisal Systems on Employee Motivation and ...Dr. Nazrul Islam
Healthy economic development requires properly managing the banking industry of any
country. Along with state-owned banks, private banks play a critical role in the country's economy.
Managers in all types of banks now confront the same challenge: how to get the utmost output from
their employees. Therefore, Performance appraisal appears to be inevitable since it set the
standard for comparing actual performance to established objectives and recommending practical
solutions that help the organization achieve sustainable growth. Therefore, the purpose of this
research is to determine the effect of performance appraisal on employee motivation and retention.

While agile has entered the post-mainstream age, possibly losing its mojo along the way, the rise of remote working is dealing a more severe blow than its industrialization.
In this talk we'll have a look to the cumulative effect of the constraints of a remote working environment and of the common countermeasures.
2. An overhead cost variance is the difference
between the amount of overhead applied
during the production process and the
actual amount of overhead costs incurred
during the period.
E.g: Effieciency variance and volume
variance.
3. 1- Variable overhead: Variable overhead is the
indirect cost of operating a business, which
fluctuates with manufacturing activity.
Eg: Electric bill and water bill.
4. A) Variable overhead cost variance
This is the difference between the standard
variable overhead for actual production and the
actual variable overhead incurred.
Formula - Actual Output x Standard Variable
Overhead Rate – Actual Variable Overheads
5. B) Variable Overhead Expenditure Variance
It is the difference between standard variable
overheads allowed for actual hours worked and
the actual variable overhead incurred.
Formula - Actual hours worked x Standard
variable overhead rate per hour – Actual
variable overhead
6. The difference between the standard fixed overhead
for actual output (i.e., fixed overhead that has been
recovered) & the actual fixed overhead which has
been incurred, is known as fixed overhead cost
variance.
Eg: Rent, sallaries, insurance.
7. A) Fixed overhead cost variance
It is that portion of overhead cost variance
which is due to over absorption or under
absorption of overhead for the actual
production.
Formula: Actual Output x Stanadard Fixed
Overhead Rate per unit – Actual Fixed
Overheads
8. This Variance is the difference between the
budgeted fixed overheads and the standard
fixed overheads recovered on the actual
production.
Formula : Volume Variance = Actual Output x
Standard Rate – Budgeted Fixed Overheads
(or) Standard Rate (Actual Output – Budgeted
Output)
9. For example: a company budgets for the
allocation of 25,000 of fixed overhead costs to
produced goods at the rate of ₹ 50 per unit
produced, with the expectation that 500 units
will be produced.
However, the actual number of units produced
is 600, so a total of 30,000 of fixed overhead
costs are allocated. This creates a fixed
overhead volume variance of 5,000
