What is the difference between variable overheads cost variance andfixed overheads cost variance?
Variable overhead cost variance is that variance which is in variable overheads costs between the standard cost and the actual variable cost WHILE fixed overheads cost variance is variance between standard fixed overhead cost and actual fixed overhead cost.
Is indirect labor part of prime cost?
Only direct material and direct labor is part of prime cost while overheads are part of conversion cost so indirect labor is part of overheads so automatically part of conversion cost and not prime cost.
Difference between marginal cost accounting statements and absorption cost accounting statement?
marginal costing considers only direct) materials,labour,expenses and variable factory overheads excluding fixed factory overheads but absorption considers (direct) materials ,labour,expenses,variable and fixed factory overheads.
Differentiate between fixed and variable overheads. which one of them is controllable and what is the effect of controlling overheads on contribution margin and finally on per unit cost?
A fixed overhead will remain the same regardless of production levels while a variable overhead will change in relation to production levels. Controlling Overheads will reduce per unit costs thereby increasing contribution margin.
Is indirect labor a variable a fixed or mixed cost?
Indirect labour costs are not connected to the units of output so are classed as overheads these are connected to managers, secretaries, accountants and admin staff. So overheads are classed as total indirect costs because they will only be classed as prime costs if they where connected to the production of units of output Thanks Andrew Swift
What is the difference between variable overheads cost variance andfixed overheads cost variance?
Variable overhead cost variance is that variance which is in variable overheads costs between the standard cost and the actual variable cost WHILE fixed overheads cost variance is variance between standard fixed overhead cost and actual fixed overhead cost.
When calculating total cost do you add in variable manufacturing overhead fixed manufacturing overhead or both?
Following is the formula for total costtotal cost = fixed overheads + variable overheads + direct labor + direct material
Is indirect labor part of prime cost?
Only direct material and direct labor is part of prime cost while overheads are part of conversion cost so indirect labor is part of overheads so automatically part of conversion cost and not prime cost.

What is fixed cost and variable cost in managerial accounting?
Variable costs are costs that change depending on how many items you produce or sell. For instance the raw matterial. Whereas fixed cost are similar to overheads, they do not change based on production.
What is the difference between prime cost and variable cost?
lina
Manufacturing overhead combined with direct labor forms prime costs?
Formula for prime cost = direct material + direct laborFormula for conversion cost = direct labor + manufacturing overheads
Differentiate between fixed and variable overheads. which one of them is controllable and what is the effect of controlling overheads on contribution margin and finally on per unit cost?
A fixed overhead will remain the same regardless of production levels while a variable overhead will change in relation to production levels. Controlling Overheads will reduce per unit costs thereby increasing contribution margin.

What is the difference between variable overhead cost variance and fixed overhead variance?
direct or indirect cost which increases or decreases with production are variable overheads such as, indirect material, indirect labor, utilities, maintenancd expansis etc. expansis which does not fluctuate with increase or decrease of production called fixed overheads such as rent, salaries, insurance, professional membership like ISO etc.
What is the definition of material cost?
material costing is defined as the cost of product which only include the cost of materials and excludes all the indirect cost such as wages, overheads etc.
Is indirect labor a prime cost?
Indirect labor is that kind of labor which is not directly involved in making of unit of product that's why it is not a direct labor and that's why it is not prime cost of unit of product and that's why it is shown in overheads
