- A manufacturer planned to use $78 of variable overhead per unit produced, but in the most recent period, it actually used $76 of variable overhead per unit produced. During this same period, the company planned to produce 500 units but actually produced 540 units. What is the variable overhead spending variance?arrow_forwardThingOne Company has the following information available for the past year. They use machine hours to allocate overhead. What is the variable overhead efficiency variance?arrow_forwardMisterio Company uses a standard costing system. During the past quarter, the following variances were computed: Misterio applies variable overhead using a standard rate of 2 per direct labor hour allowed. Two direct labor hours are allowed per unit produced. (Only one type of product is manufactured.) During the quarter, Misterio used 30 percent more direct labor hours than should have been used. Required: 1. What were the actual direct labor hours worked? The total hours allowed? 2. What is the standard hourly rate for direct labor? The actual hourly rate? 3. How many actual units were produced?arrow_forward
- 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. Budgeted variable overhead was 5,000 less than the actual variable overhead. The company used an expected actual activity level of 12,000 direct labor hours to compute the predetermined overhead rates. Any overhead variances are closed to Cost of Goods Sold. Required: 1. 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.arrow_forwardEagle Inc. uses a standard cost system. During the most recent period, the company manufactured 115,000 units. The standard cost sheet indicates that the standard direct labor cost per unit is $1.50. The performance report for the period includes an unfavorable direct labor rate variance of $3,700 and a favorable direct labor time variance of $10,275. What was the total actual cost of direct labor incurred during the period?arrow_forwardABC Inc. spent a total of $48,000 on factory overhead. Of this, $28,000 was fixed overhead. ABC Inc. had budgeted $27,000 for fixed overhead. Actual machine hours were 5.000. Standard hours for units made were 4,800. The standard variable overhead rate was $4.10. What is the variable overhead rate variance?arrow_forward
- At the end of the period, the factory overhead account has a credit balance of 10,000. (a) Is the total factory cost variance favorable or unfavorable? (b) Are the controllable and volume variances favorable or unfavorable?arrow_forwardGeorgia Gasket Co. budgets 8,000 direct labor hours for the year. The total overhead budget is expected to amount to 20,000. The standard cost for a unit of the companys product estimates the variable overhead as follows: The actual data for the period follow: Using the four-variance method, calculate the overhead variances. (Hint: First compute the budgeted fixed overhead rate.)arrow_forwardDirect materials and direct labor variance analysis Lenni Clothing Co. manufactures clothing in a small manufacturing facility. Manufacturing has 25 employees. Each employee presently provides 40 hours of productive labor per week. Information about a production week is as follows: Instructions Determine (A) the standard cost per unit for direct materials and direct labor; (B) the price variance, quantity variance, and total direct materials cost variance; and (C) the rate variance, time variance, and total direct labor cost variance.arrow_forward
- The normal capacity of a manufacturing plant is 30,000 direct labor hours or 20,000 units per month. Standard fixed costs are 6,000, and variable costs are 12,000. Data for two months follow: For each month, make a single journal entry to charge overhead to Work in Process, to close Factory Overhead, and to record variances. Indicate the types of variances and state whether each is favorable or unfavorable. (Hint: You must first compute the flexible-budget and production-volume variances.)arrow_forwardCarlo Lee Corp. has established the following standard cost per unit: Although 10,000 units were budgeted, only 8,800 units were produced. The purchasing department bought 55,000 lb of materials at a cost of $123,750. Actual pounds of materials used were 54,305. Direct labor cost was $186,550 for 18,200 hours worked. Required: Make journal entries to record the materials transactions, assuming that the materials price variance was recorded at the time of purchase. Make journal entries to record the labor variances.arrow_forwardDuring its first year of operations, Snobegon, Inc. (located in Lake Snobegon, Minnesota), produced 40,000 plastic snow scoops. Snow scoops are oversized shovel-type scoops that are used to push snow away. Unit sales were 38,200 scoops. Fixed overhead was applied at 0.75 per unit produced. Fixed overhead was underapplied by 2,900. This fixed overhead variance was closed to Cost of Goods Sold. There was no variable overhead variance. The results of the years operations are as follows (on an absorption-costing basis): Required: 1. Calculate the cost of the firms ending inventory under absorption costing. What is the cost of the ending inventory under variable costing? (Round unit costs to five significant digits.) 2. Prepare a variable-costing income statement. Reconcile the difference between the two income figures.arrow_forward
