Expert Solution
Step 1

              Overheads is indirect cost of production.   For e.g  factory rent , electricity, wages of supervisors , salaries , depreciation etc are forming part of overheads.  Generally overheads are attributable on the basis of direct labour hours or machine hours and are applied accordingly.  After applying at a predetermined rate we get actual overheads from accounts later .  But we need not wait for it as we have predetermined overhead rate calculated on direct labour hours or machine hours.  When we get actual overheads from accounts we can adjust over or under absorption as the case may be in the accounts by passing suitable entries.
