Factory overhead costs / general expenses are routinely allocated to products based on the number of direct labor hours or direct wages related to the production. Usually such expenses are linked to direct wages as that is the best relatable expense


Actually general exps/ factory overheads are recovered/absorbed based on Direct material cost/Direct wage cost/labour hours Because recovery of over heads means recovering the indirect expenses by charging them on Direct costs
