Definition

Percentage of an amount represented by fixed costs

Use

If you are using the costing sheet for your production costing, an entry here will ensure that the fixed and variable costs are correctly assigned in the contribution margin scheme.

The default entry is "*" which means that the fixed and variable portions of the surcharge are determined in the same way as the fixed and variable costs in the calculation base.

Example

A total of $1000 is charged to an order, of which 60% is fixed costs and 40% is variable costs from a cost element. You want to add a further 10% for overhead surcharges.

You specify a cost center as the credit object for the offset posting.

If you enter "*" in the fixed percentage field, the surcharge will be comprised of 60% fixed costs and 40% variable costs. The cost center to be credited is credited with the same amounts in fixed and variable costs.

If you enter "100" in the fixed percentage field, the whole surcharge will be comprised of fixed costs. This may be necessary, for example, if the cost center cannot accept variable costs.
