Shital Industries has a standard cost system in which it applies manufacturing overhead to products on the basis of standard machine-hours (MHs) at $6.50 per Mt. During the month, the actual total variable manufacturing overhead was $39,600, and the actual level of activity for the period was 6,200 Mofts. What was the variable overhead rate variance for the month?

Flaherty, Inc., has just completed its first year of operations. The unit costs on a normal costing basis are as follows: During the year, the company had the following activity: Actual fixed overhead was 12,000 less than budgeted fixed overhead.

Compute the unit cost using (a) absorption costing and (b) variable costing. 2. Prepare an absorption-costing income statement. 3. Prepare a variable-costing income statement. 4. Reconcile the difference between the two income statements.
