Herriot Corporation manufactures one product. It does not maintain any beginning or ending Work in Process inventories. The company uses a standard cost system in which inventories are recorded at their standard costs and any variances are closed directly to Cost of Goods Sold. There is no variable manufacturing overhead. The standard cost card for the company's only product is as follows:?InputsStandard Quantity or HoursStandard Price or RateStandard Cost?Direct materials3.7 pounds$7.50 per pound$27.75?Direct labor0.90 hours$18.50 per hour16.65?Fixed manufacturing overhead0.90 hours$19.00 per hour 17.10?Total standard cost per unit???? $61.50The standard fixed manufacturing overhead rate was based on budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead of $598,500
and budgeted activity of 31,500 hours.During the year, the company applied fixed overhead to the 37,500 units in work in process inventory using the predetermined overhead rate multiplied by the number of direct labor-hours allowed. Actual fixed overhead costs for the year were $609,000. Of this total, $549,000 related to items such as insurance, utilities, and indirect labor salaries that were all paid in cash and $60,000 related to depreciation of manufacturing equipment.Required:Completely record the transactions involving fixed overhead, including any variances, in the worksheet that appears below. Because of the width of the worksheet, it is in two parts. In your text, these two parts would be joined side-by-side to make one very wide worksheet. The beginning balances have been provided for each of the accounts, including the Property, Plant, and Equipment (net) account which is abbreviated as PP&E (net).?CashRaw MaterialsWork in ProcessFinished GoodsPP&E (net)=Materials Price Variance1/1$1,030,000$58,275$0$86,100$475,300=$0?????????Materials Quantity VarianceLabor Rate VarianceLabor Efficiency VarianceFOH Budget VarianceFOH Volume VarianceRetained Earnings1/1$0$0$0$0$0$1,649,675???????
What will be an ideal response?
Budget variance = Actual fixed overhead - Budgeted fixed overhead
= $609,000 - $598,500
= $10,500 U
Volume variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - Fixed overhead applied to work in process
= $598,500 - (33,750 hours × $19.00 per hour)
= $598,500 - ($641,250)
= $42,750 F
