Why Use an Allocation Base?
Manufacturing overhead is applied to jobs that Manufacturing overhead is applied to jobs that are in process. An allocation base, such as are in process. An allocation base, such as
direct labor hours, direct labor dollars, or direct labor hours, direct labor dollars, or machine hours, is used to assign machine hours, is used to assign
manufacturing overhead to individual jobs.manufacturing overhead to individual jobs.

We use an allocation base because:
1. It is impossible or difficult to trace overhead costs to particular jobs.
2. Manufacturing overhead consists of many different items ranging from the grease used in machines to production manager’s salary.
3. Many types of manufacturing overhead costs are fixed even though output fluctuates during the period.

The predetermined overhead rate (POHR) used to apply overhead to jobs is
determined before the period begins.

Ideally, the allocation base is a cost driver that causes

Using a predetermined rate makes itpossible to estimate total job costs sooner.
Actual overhead for the period is notknown until the end of the period.

will be applied to that job.

Interpreting the Average Unit Cost
The average unit cost should not be interpretedas the costs that would actually be incurred if an
additional unit were produced.
Fixed overhead would not change if another unitwere produced, so the incremental cost of
another unit may be somewhat less than $118.
