Concept Introduction:
Variable
The difference between the Standard Variable Overhead and the Actual Variable overhead is the Variable Overheads Variance.
Like Labour Cost Variance, Variable Overhead variance may be caused because of either change in rate per hour or change in number of hours from the standard time.
Thus Variable Overhead Cost Variance is the sum of Variable Overhead expenditure variance and Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance.
The following are the formulas for the same:
Variable Overhead Cost Variance (VOCV) = Variable Overhead expenditure variance + Variable
Overhead Efficiency Variance
Also, Variable Overhead Cost Variance (VOCV) = Standard Variable Overhead Cost (SVOC) – Actual
Variable Overhead Cost(AVOC)
To Determine: Variable Overhead Cost Variance
