Problem 4. NEW JERSEY CORP. uses a standard cost system in which manufacturing overhead is applied to units of product on the basis of direct labor-hours. The company's total budgeted variable and fixed manufacturing overhead costs at the denominator level of activity are P20,000 for variable overhead and P30,000 for fixed overhead. The predetermined overhead rate, including both fixed and variable components, is P2.50 per direct labor-hour. The standards call for two direct labor-hours per unit of output produced. Last year, the company produced 11,500 units of product and worked 22,000 direct labor-hours. Actual costs were P22,500 for variable overhead and P31,000 for fixed overhead. Required: (a) What is the denominator level of activity? (b) What were the standard hours allowed for the output last year? (c) What was the variable overhead spending variance? (d) What was the variable overhead efficiency variance? (e) What was the fixed overhead budget variance? (f) What was the fixed overhead volume variance?

The Six-C Corporation uses a standard costing system in which variable factory overhead is assigned to production on the basis of the number of machine setups. The following data pertain to one month's operations: Manufacturing overhead cost incurred - P70,000 Total Variable Overhead variance - P4,550 favorable Standard machine setups allowed for actual production -3,550 Actual machine setups incurred - 3,500. What is the standard variable overhead rate per machine setup? What is the variable overhead spending variance?
