Under Absorption and Over Absorption of Overheads
Under Absorption and Over Absorption of Overheads
- Overheads = Indirect Cost: Overhead is indirect expenses which is not directly identify with production unit or object or activity. like factory overhead, office overhead, selling overhead etc. Overhead is required to charge at predetermined rate to the product.
- Predetermined Rate: Predetermine rate is overhead recovery rate calculated before production started on the basis of estimated overhead and estimated base like unit, hours, percentage, proportion etc.
- Actual Rate: This is historical overhead recovery rate. It is based on actual overhead incurred and actual base (like machine hours, labour hours, unit etc.)
- Supplementary Rate: The rate at which under absorb (recovered) overhead charged to the cost.
- Under absorption(recovery): If recovered overhead is less than the actual overhead incurred the difference is known as under absorption of overhead.
- Over absorption (recovery): If recovered overhead is more than the actual overhead incurred the difference is known as Over absorption of overhead.
- Charging of Under and over absorption of overhead:
- Under absorption due to increase in cost of unavoidable reasons charged to cost.
- Under absorption due to inefficiency or carelessness or wrong estimation or some avoidable reasons would be charge to Costing profit and loss account.

JOB and Batch Costing
Meaning:
Job Costing:
Batch Costing:
Job Costing:
Job costing is the system of costing used to find out the cost of non-standard jobs generally made according to customer's specifications.
Business in which job costing is suitable:
(1) Garage, (2) Tailoring, (3) Printing, (4) Catering, (5) Beauty Parlour, (6) Small manufacturing units, and all business in which work is based on customers order and specific requirement of the customers.
Business in which job costing is suitable:
(1) Garage, (2) Tailoring, (3) Printing, (4) Catering, (5) Beauty Parlour, (6) Small manufacturing units, and all business in which work is based on customers order and specific requirement of the customers.
Batch Costing:
Batch costing is only a modification of job costing. The only difference is that in job costing, production is carried on according to specific order of customer, while in batch costing, production is done for stock. In case of batch costing, production is carried on in batches of particular quantity of items to be manufactured.
Business in which job costing is suitable:
(1) Pharmaceutical company, (2) Computer spare parts manufacturing company, (3) Automobile spare parts industries, (4) Biscuits manufacture, (5) garments manufacture, etc.

JOB COSTING
|
BATCH COSTING
|
Meaning
|
Job costing refers to a specific costing
method, used when the production/work is carried out according to the
requirements of customers.
|
Batch costing, is a form of job costing that
is applied when the articles are produced in batches, i.e. a group of like
units are produced.
|
Production
|
As per customer specification
|
Mass production
|
Product
|
Product have an independent identity, as
each job is distinct from other jobs.
|
Products do not lose their individual
identity, as they are manufactured in continuum.
|
Cost unit
|
Executed Job
|
Batch
|
Cost ascertainment
|
On the completion of each job.
|
Ascertained for the whole batch and then per
unit cost is determined.
