Fabert Incorporated makes a single product--a cooling coil used in commercial refrigerators. The company has a standard cost system in which it applies overhead to this product based on the standard labor-hours allowed for the actual output of the period. Data concerning the most recent year appear below:?Budgeted (Planned) Overhead:???Budgeted variable manufacturing overhead$25,900??Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead$47,200??????Budgeted production (a)20,000 units?Standard hours per unit (b)0.50 labor-hours?Budgeted hours (a) × (b)10,000 labor-hours?????Applying Overhead:???Actual production (a)24,000 units?Standard hours per unit (b)0.50 labor-hours?Standard hours allowed for the actual production (a) ×
(b)12,000 labor-hours?????Actual Overhead and Hours:???Actual variable manufacturing overhead$27,248??Actual fixed manufacturing overhead$34,200??Actual hours13,100 labor-hoursRequired:a. Determine the variable overhead rate variance for the year.b. Determine the variable overhead efficiency variance for the year.c. Determine the fixed overhead budget variance for the year.d. Determine the fixed overhead volume variance for the year.
What will be an ideal response?
a. Variable component of the predetermined overhead rate = $25,900/10,000 labor-hours
= $2.59 per labor-hour
Variable overhead rate variance = (AH × AR) - (AH × SR)
= ($27,248) - (13,100 labor-hours × $2.59 per labor-hour)
= ($27,248) - ($33,929)
= $6,681 F
b. Variable overhead efficiency variance = (AH - SH) × SR
= (13,100 labor-hours - 12,000 labor-hours) × $2.59 per labor-hour
= (1,100 labor-hours) × $2.59 per labor-hour
= $2,849 U
c. Budget variance = Actual fixed overhead - Budgeted fixed overhead
= $34,200 - $47,200 = $13,000 F
d. Fixed component of the predetermined overhead rate = $47,200/10,000 labor-hours
= $4.72 per labor-hour
Volume variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - Fixed overhead applied to work in process
= $47,200 - ($4.72 per labor-hour × 12,000 labor-hours)
= $47,200 - ($56,640)
= $9,440 F
or
Volume variance = Fixed component of the predetermined overhead rate x (Denominator hours - Standard hours allowed for the actual output)
= $4.72 per labor-hour × (10,000 labor-hours - 12,000 labor-hours)
= $4.72 per labor-hour × (10,000 labor-hours - 12,000 labor-hours)
= $4.72 per labor-hour × (-2,000 hours)
= $9,440 F

Scenario 1.2 Use the following to answer the questions. Paws and Claws Hotel is a full-service pet salon and boarding kennel. Paws and Claws has an interactive website where customers can directly book a grooming appointment, obedience class, or overnight accommodations for their dog or cat. Paws and Claws has several unexpected services, such as a 600-square-foot swimming pool, complete with slide and dog-friendly graduated steps to help them exit the pool. Customers can also drop their dog or cat off each morning for pet day care. Paws and Claws has a pick-up and delivery service, webcams in every kennel so that pet families can view their pets while away, and pet "furniture" so that the cats and dogs can lie on sofas just like at home. Paws and Claws is also open 24 hours a day, 365
days each year so that customers can pick up their pet at any time. The cost for an overnight stay at Paws and Claws averages $50, compared to competing kennels at about $30. The day care costs are $25 for either a dog or cat. The majority of Paws and Claws' competitors don't offer the day care service, and require a two-day minimum for overnight stays. Informal discussions with customers led to the addition of pet day care and 24-hour hours of operation. Previously, Paws and Claws was more interested in competing based on its prices. Refer to Scenario 1.2. Previously, Paws and Claws was most likely using a ____ orientation, while now it is now in the process of employing the _______. A. sales; marketing concept. B. sales; marketing mix. C. promotion; marketing concept. D. sales; promotion orientation. E. sales; product orientation.
