Traditionally this is done through machine utilization information that
is logged by VM's accounting facility.  Some value is assigned to a unit
of work (a CPU second) and machines that are to be charged back have
their accounting information tracked and billed to the user/customer.

The accounting facility is a standard deliverable with VM. I don't
believe that there are any native tools available to report in it, but
there are packages and products available to do this.  Of course, you
could roll your own.
