Aggregate of indirect cost is referred to as overheads. It arises as a result of overall operation of a business. According to Weldon over-head means ‘the cost of indirect material, indirect labour and such other expenses, including services as cannot conveniently be charged direct to specific cost units. It includes all manufacturing and non-manufacturing supplies and services.
