office stationery is part of administrative expenses

dock charges should be part of prime cost- if paid for purchase of raw goods

@ manoj it is office stationery not office salary

agreed with mr future ca 

office stationery should be part of adm exp

 

cheers

i agree with manoj whatever drawing office charges is a factory overhaed. whether it is office stationary or salary to employee. remember drawing office is situated in factory and where only factory work is done and not the administrative work.

Drawing office Salary is incurrred for factory......Whether stationery or salary its factory overhead....

sales of scrap will be deducted from total of factory overheads.
What type of costs come under factory OHs?

Production supervisor salaries, materials management salaries, factory utilities, fringe benefits, quality assurance salaries, Depreciation, factory building insurance, equipment maintenance, Factory rent, Factory small tools charged to expense, Equipment setup costs, Property taxes on production facilities, Factory supplies and Insurance on production facilities and equipment 

These are some examples of factory overhead costs.
