Question

The standard cost of Product YY includes 4 hours of direct labor at $14 per hour. The predetermined overhead rate is $23 per direct labor hour. During July, the company incurred 4,200 hours of direct labor at an average rate of $13.50 per hour and $73,500 of manufacturing overhead costs. It produced 1,000 units. Compute the total overhead variance.

Definition Definition System of assigning an estimated cost to the product (instead of the actual cost) so that the product cost can be determined well in advance and the pricing of the product can be done on time. Since the actual cost cannot be predicted at the initial stage of the production process, the estimated cost is recorded in the books. Any deviation of the estimated cost of the actual cost is adjusted in the books at the end of the period.
