why most companies use "normal costing" (actual DM + actual DL + applied MOH)
- CORRECT ANSWER Normal costing uses a predetermined annual overhead rate
to assign manufacturing overhead to products. In other words, the overhead rate
under normal costing is based on the expected overhead costs for the entire
accounting year and the expected production volume for the entire year.
Under actual costing each month's actual costs and each month's actual
production volume are used to assign overhead costs. Since most companies will
experience month to month fluctuations in activity, the actual monthly overhead
rates will likely vary from month to month
Predetermined Overhead Rate (PDOR) - CORRECT ANSWER Estimated total MOH /
Estimated total amount of activity base (cost driver)
cost driver is typically direct labor hours or machine hours
Finding MOH Applied for Specific Job - CORRECT ANSWER PDOR x Actual C.D =
MOH Applied for Individual Job
