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

Determining Predetermined Overhead Rates
Predetermined overhead rates are calculated

Cost Flows – Material Purchases
Raw material purchases are recorded in an
inventory account.

Cost Flows – Material Usage
Direct materials issued to a job increase Work in
Process and decrease Raw Materials. Indirect
materials used are charged to Manufacturing
Overhead and also decrease Raw Materials.
