Variable manufacturing overhead consists of manufacturing costs that fluctuate with production volume, such as indirect materials and utility costs.

Fixed Manufacturing Overhead

The sum of all consistent, non-variable costs associated with manufacturing, including salaries of supervisors and rent of the facility.

Job-Order Costing System

An accounting method that tracks the costs associated with producing a specific batch of products or a specific job.

Predetermined Overhead Rate

The rate used to allocate manufacturing overhead to products, calculated before the period begins based on estimated costs and activity levels.
