Question

Ayala Corporation accumulates the following data relative to jobs started and finished during the month of June 2014.

Costs and Production Data

Actual

Standard

Overhead is applied on the basis of standard machine hours. 3.00 hours of machine time are required for each direct labor hour. The jobs were sold for $400,000. Selling and administrative expenses were $40,000. Assume that the amount of raw materials purchased equaled the amount used.

Compute the overhead controllable variance and the overhead volume variance.

Costs and Production Data

Actual

Standard

Raw materials unit cost $2.25 $2.10 Raw materials units used 10,600 10,000 Direct labor payroll $120,960 $120,000 Direct labor hours worked 14,400 15,000 Manufacturing overhead incurred $189,500 Manufacturing overhead applied $193,500 Machine hours expected to be used at normal capacity 42,500 Budgeted fixed overhead for June $55,250 Variable overhead rate per machine hour $3.00 Fixed overhead rate per machine hour $1.30

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

Budget fixed overhead for june = 42500*$1.30 = $55,250

Budgeted allowance for variable overhead based on standard hours allowed = 15000*3*3 = $135,000

Budgeted overhead based on standard hours= $55,250 + $135,000 = $190,250

Actual manufacturing overhead incurred = $189500

Overhead controllable variance = Acutal overhead - Budgeted overhead for standard hours

= $189,500 - $190,250 = $750 F

Overhead applied to production = $193,500

Overhead volume variance = Budgeted overhead for standard hours - Overhead applied to production = $190,250 - $193,500 = $3,250 F
