Question

Sedona Company set the following standard costs for one unit of its product for this year.


Direct material (20 Ibs. @ $2.50 per Ib.)	$	50.00
Direct labor (10 hrs. @ $22.00 per hr.)		220.00
Variable overhead (10 hrs. @ $4.00 per hr.)		40.00
Fixed overhead (10 hrs. @ $1.60 per hr.)		16.00
Total standard cost	$	326.00

The $5.60 ($4.00 + $1.60) total overhead rate per direct labor hour is based on an expected operating level equal to 75% of the factory's capacity of 50,000 units per month. The following monthly flexible budget information is also available.

	Operating Levels (% of capacity)
Flexible Budget		70%		75%		80%
Budgeted output (units)		35,000		37,500		40,000
Budgeted labor (standard hours)		350,000		375,000		400,000
Budgeted overhead (dollars)
Variable overhead	$	1,400,000	$	1,500,000	$	1,600,000
Fixed overhead		600,000		600,000		600,000
Total overhead	$	2,000,000	$	2,100,000	$	2,200,000

During the current month, the company operated at 70% of capacity, employees worked 340,000 hours, and the following actual overhead costs were incurred.


Variable overhead costs	$	1,375,000
Fixed overhead costs		628,600
Total overhead costs	$	2,003,600

Exercise 21-18A Computing and interpreting overhead spending, efficiency, and volume variances LO P5

AH = Actual Hours
SH = Standard Hours
AVR = Actual Variable Rate
SVR = Standard Variable Rate

1. Compute the variable overhead spending and efficiency variances.
2. Compute the fixed overhead spending and volume variances and classify each as favorable or unfavorable.
3. Compute the controllable variance.
