2- The following data relate to factory overhead cost for the production of 4,000 computers:

If productive capacity of 100% was 6,000 hours and the total factory overhead cost budgeted at the level of 4,000 standard hours was $178,500, determine the variable factory overhead controllable variance, fixed factory overhead volume variance, and total factory overhead cost variance. The fixed factory overhead rate was $5.25 per hour. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.

Variable overhead cost:    Indirect factory labor $70,400    Power and light 3,520    Indirect materials 17,600       Total variable overhead cost $91,520 Fixed overhead cost:    Supervisory salaries $32,030    Depreciation of plant and equipment 20,130    Insurance and property taxes 12,810       Total fixed overhead cost 64,970 Total factory overhead cost $156,490
