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.
