King Company estimated that it would operate its manufacturing facilities at 800,000 direct labour hours for the year, which served as the denominator activity in the predetermined overhead rate. The total budgeted manufacturing overhead for the year was $2,000,000, of which $1,600,000 was variable and $400,000 was fixed. The standard variable overhead rate was $2 per direct labour hour. The standard direct labour time was 3 direct labour hours per unit. The actual results for the year are presented below: Actual Finished Units Actual Direct Labour Hours Actual Variable Overhead Actual Fixed Overhead 250,000 764,000 $1,610,000 $ 392,000 A. What was the variable overhead spending variance for the year? B. What was the variable overhead efficiency variance for the year?

Flounder Company estimates that it will produce 6,000 units of product IOA during the current month. Budgeted variable manufacturing costs per unit are direct materials $8, direct labor $13, and overhead $19. Monthly budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead costs are $7,700 for depreciation and $3,700 for supervision. In the current month, Flounder actually produced 6,500 units and incurred the following costs: direct materials $44,976, direct labor $76,400, variable overhead $122,094, depreciation $7,700, and supervision $3,959.

Patel and Sons Inc. uses a standard cost system to apply factory overhead costs to units produced. Practical capacity for the plant is defined as 51,600 machine hours per year, which represents 25,800 units of output. Annual budgeted fixed factory overhead costs are $258,000 and the budgeted variable factory overhead cost rate is $2.50 per unit. Factory overhead costs are applied on the basis of standard machine hours allowed for units produced. Budgeted and actual output for the year was 19,500 units, which took 40,600 machine hours. Actual fixed factory overhead costs for the year amounted to $251,600 while the actual variable overhead cost per unit was $2.40. Assume that at the end of the year, management of Patel and Sons decides that the overhead cost variances should be allocated to WIP Inventory, Finished Goods Inventory, and Cost of Goods Sold (CGS) using the following percentages: 10%, 20%, and 70%, respectively. Provide the proper journal entry to close out the…
Dubberly Corporation's cost formula for its manufacturing overhead is $32,300 per month plus $52 per machine-hour. For the month of March, the company planned for activity of 7,860 machine-hours, but the actual level of activity was 7,780 machine-hours. The actual manufacturing overhead for the month was $465,470. The activity variance for manufacturing overhead in March would be closest to: Multiple Choice $24,450 U $4,160 F $4,160 U $24,450 F
