Overhead (1.7 hrs. * $18.50 per 31.45 $24.00 22.10 Total standard cost $77.55 The predetermined overhead rate ($18.50 per direct labor hour) is based on an expected volume of 75% of the factory's capacity of 20,000 units per month. Following are the company's budgeted overhead costs per month at the 75% capacity level. Overhead Budget (75% Capacity) Variable overhead costs Indirect materials Indirect labor Power Repairs and maintenance Total variable overhead costs 15,000 75,000 15,000 30,000 $135, 000 Fixed overheadcosts Depreciation- Building Depreciation- Machinery Taxes and insurance 17,000 Supervision Total fixed overhead costs 25,000 71,000 223,750 336,750 Total overhead costs $471,750 The company incurred the following actual costs when it operated at 75% of capacity in October Direct materials (61,000 Ibs. 6 $6.10 per lb.)

Explanation / Answer

Labour Cost Variance

=Standard Cost-Actual cost

=331500-279300

=52200Favourable

Note- Standard Cost is calculates as follows

1.7 hours per unit. Units produced=15000

Therefore, standard hours for actual output=1.7*15000=25500 hours

Standard cost= 25500*13=331500

Labour Rate Variance

=(SR-AR)*AH

=(13-13.3)*21000

=6300 unfavourable

Labour efficiency variance

=(SH for actual output-Actual hours)*Standard Rate

=(25500-21000)*13

=58500 favourable
