Angie Manufacturing uses a standard cost system in which manufacturing overhead is applied to units of product on the basis of standard machine-hours. At standard, each unit of product requires one machine-hour to complete. The standard variable overhead is $1.75 per machine-hour and Budgeted Fixed Manufacturing Costs are $300,000 per year. The denominator level of activity is 150,000 machine-hours, or 150,000 units. Actual data for the year were as follows: Actual variable overhead cost$211,680 Actual fixed manufacturing overhead cost$315,000 Actual machine-hours 126,000 Units produced 120,000 Required:a. What are the predetermined variable and fixed manufacturing overhead rates for the year?b. Compute the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances for the year.c.
Compute the fixed manufacturing overhead budget and volume variances for the year.
What will be an ideal response?
a.
Predetermined variable overhead rate = $1.75 MH (given)
Predetermined fixed overhead rate = $300,000 ÷ 150,000 MH = $2 hour
b.
Variable overhead rate variance = AH(AR - SR)
= 126,000 ($1.68 per hour* - $1.75 per hour)
= $211,680 - $220,500
= $8,820 F
* $211,680 ÷ 126,000 MHs = $1.68 per machine hour
Variable overhead efficiency variance = SR(AH - SH)
= $1.75 per hour (126,000 hours - 120,000 hours*)
= $220,500 - $210,000
= $10,500 U
*120,000 units × 1 hour = 120,000 hours
c.
Budget variance = Actual fixed overhead - Budgeted fixed overhead cost
= $315,000 - $300,000
= $15,000 F
Volume variance = Budgeted fixed overhead cost - Fixed overhead applied to work in process
= $2 per hour (150,000 hours - 120,000 hours)
= $300,000 - $240,000
= $60,000 U
