Susan Cabinet shop has total budgeted variable overhead of $220,000. Actual variable overhead for the period also amounted to $220,000. The overhead is based on direct labor hours. Other data on the two types of cabinets are as follows:

For M:

Budgeted hours per unit 10
Budgeted production 100
Actual hours per unit 13
Actual number of units 140

For N:

Budgeted hours per unit 16
Budgeted production 200 units
Actual hours per unit 18
Actual number of units 160

Find the following :

1. The variable overhead applied amounts to
a. $40
b. $45
c. $50
d. $55
e. None of the above.

2.Variable overhead per unit of M amounts to
a. $600
b. $471
c. $800
d. $900
e. $950
f. None of the above.

3. Variable overhead spending variance amounts to
a. –$15,000
