Cost driver
A cost driver is the basis for manufacturing overhead allocation. There is a direct relationship between the quantity of the consumed cost driver and the amount of the incurred cost.
For instance, costs drivers can be:
- Labor hours
- Machine hours
- Volume of output
A multioperation make-to-order process includes registering a cost driver used for accounting of predetermined overhead.
