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.
