In the current month, the company incurred $360,000 actual overhead and 24,500 actual labor hours while producing 39,000 units.

(1) Compute the overhead volume variance.
(2) Compute the overhead controllable variance.

Explanation / Answer

313500/27500=$11.40 Variable overhead Rate

Fixed Overhead Per DL hr =$66000/27500 2.4 Standard DL Hours =44000/27500*39000Units 24375 Fixed Overhead Applied=24375*2.4 58500 Total Fixed Overhead Applied 58500 Total Budgeted Fixed OH 66000 Fixed Overhead Volume Variance 7500 Unfavorable
