Introduction
Background To The Study
Every manufacturing organization in ars costs in the production of goods and rendering of services. Some of such costs cannot be directly traced to a particular cost centre or cost unit e.g salary of security quads, salaries of executives, depreciation of plants, rent and rate, office stationary and so on.
At this point, it is worthwhile defining the overhead experiences.
OVERHEAD EXPENSES: According to Odetayo T.A. (1998) overhead expenses is total cost of indirect materials. Indirect labour and indirect expenses. Overhead is the totality of all those costs that cannot be traced to a specific job or product.
The overhead costs as part of the cost of finished products need to be analyzed in order to get them absorbed into all costs of production. As the production advances, there is need to control the overhead expenses in order to minimize cost of production.
A case study approach is used and our focus is in a manufacturing firm Ola Oluwa Aina Wire Industry Limited Osogbo.
Ola-Oluwa Aina Wire Industry Limited is a manufacturing Industry and it has a way of analyzing the overhead expenses incurred. The method of analysis is ABSORPTION METHOD the method ensures that overheads incurred are absorbed property and accounted for.
Control statements are prepared so as to ensure proper accounting for the overheads. This is to safeguard unnecessary increment of overhead. This in other words is to control their expenses and thus maximize their profit.
Statement Of The Problem
The problem statement that necessitated.
The cost of production in the manufacturing companies is highly exorbitant and it is always difficult to control overhead expense.
This research work intends to assess the analysis of overhead of a manufacturing company and to look for ways controlling the overheads expenses.
Hypothesis OF The Study
Ho: There is no significant relationship between overhead expenses of manufacturing firms and the sales volume of the company.
Hi: There is significant relationship between the overhead expenses of manufacturing firms and the sales volume of the company.
Ho: There is no significant relationship between consumer buying behaviour and the quality of the products.
Hi: There is significant relationship between consumer buying behaviour and the quality of the products.
Purpose Of The Study
The purpose of this study is to show the overhead expenses are being assessed, analyzed and controlled in manufacturing industry in Nigeria.
This study will shed light on how manufacturing firms systematically absorb overheads of production and service section. In order to ensure effective price fixing and making of informed decisions on questions relating to cost per unit of product / service.
This study is to show the effectiveness of the application of overhead absorption method ways of controlling the expenses. This study will help both present and prospective manufacturing.
