Concept explainers
Concept Introduction:
Overhead expense comprises of two elements which are (i) Variable
The difference between the Actual Overheads and Standard Overheads can be of two reasons.
Reason 1 − Difference in volume of production
Reason 2 − Difference in rate of overheads
While the difference in rate is considered as controllable variance, the other is non controllable and it is called as Overhead Volume Variance.
Thus Overhead Cost Variance is sum of Overhead Controllable Variance and Overhead Volume Variance.
The formula for calculating Overhead Cost Variances are as follows:
Overhead Cost Variance (OCV) = Overhead Volume Variance (OVV) + Overhead Controllable/Price Variance (OPV)
Also, OCV = Standard Overhead applied to production − Actual Overhead cost
Actual the total overhead cost

The company's ending work in process inventory consists of 18,500 units. The ending work in process inventory is 100% complete with respect to materials and 60% complete with respect to labor and overhead. If the costs per equivalent unit for the period are $3.75 for materials and $5.20 for labor and overhead, what would be the balance of the ending work in process inventory account?
