Question

World Company expects to operate at 80% of its productive capacity of 56,250 units per month. At this planned level, the company expects to use 27,900 standard hours of direct labor. Overhead is allocated to products using a predetermined standard rate of 0.620 direct labor hours per unit. At the 80% capacity level, the total budgeted cost includes $64,170 fixed overhead cost and $315,270 variable overhead cost. In the current month, the company incurred $340,000 actual overhead and 24,900 actual labor hours while producing 38,000 units. (1) Compute the overhead volume variance. (2) Compute the overhead controllable variance. Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Required 1 Required 2 Compute the overhead volume variance. Classify as favorable or unfavorable. (Round "OH costs per DL hour" to 2 decimal places.) Fixed Overhead Applied Fixed OH per DL hr 2.30 Standard DL hours Fixed Overhead applied Volume Variance Volume variance Required 2 <Required 1

Answer 1

Solution 1:

Fixed overhead applied
Fixed overhead per DL hr	$2.30
Standard DL hr	23560
Fixed overhead applied	$54,188.00
Volume Variance
Total Budgeted Fixed overhead	$64,170.00
Total fixed overhead applied	$54,188.00
Volume Variance	$9,982.00	Unfavorable

Solution 2:

Controllable Variance
Total actual overhead		$340,000.00
Flexible Budget Overhead
Fixed	$64,170.00
Variable	$266,228.00
Total		$330,398.00
Overhead controllable variance		$9,602.00	Unfavorable
