Required Information
[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]
The Platter Valley factory of Bybee Industries manufactures field boots. The cost of each boot includes direct materials,
direct labor, and manufacturing (factory) overhead. The firm traces all direct costs to products, and it assigns
overhead cost to products based on direct labor hours.
Required:
1. Compute the factory overhead flexible-budget variance, the factory overhead spending variance, and the efficiency variance for
variable factory overhead for March and state whether each variance is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U).
2. Provide the appropriate journal entry to record the variable overhead spending variance and a second entry to record the variable
overhead efficiency variance for March. Assume that the company uses a single account, Factory Overhead, to record overhead costs.
The company budgeted $11,925 variable factory overhead cost, $96,750 for fixed factory overhead cost and…
