Allocation of General Variable and Fixed Costs

General Variable and Fixed Costs or general overhead costs are those whole farm costs that can be difficult to allocate to a specific enterprise. These costs will show little or no change whether one crop or another is grown. That is to say, your crop mix choice should be the same after allocating general overhead costs as it was before they were added. This table allows you to allocate these overhead costs and transfer them to the budget to arrive at a total cost of production.
