Dear Sir Moffat,
Firstly thanks for your great lectures, i have learned a lot and still learning through your amazing platform !
However , i’m still confused about the reason why we allocate the premium overtime into production overhead ?
For more details , please refer to the link below about my previous discussion in the Forum relating that matter.
Thanks & Regards
Have you watched my free lectures as secondstar suggested?
The basic pay for all hours worked is treated as a direct cost. That is what the labour cost should have been, and what would have been on the cost card.
The extra paid for any overtime hours is still obviously a cost, but should not really have happened, and is therefore treated as an indirect cost i.e. as an overhead.
The exception is then the overtime was for a specific job at the request of the customer – then it was a direct labour cost for that specific job.
