Question

McDormand, Inc., reported a $2,400 unfavorable price variance for variable overhead and a $24,000 unfavorable price variance for fixed overhead. The flexible budget had $1,039,200 variable overhead based on 34,640 direct labor-hours; only 34,000 hours were worked. Total actual overhead was $1,790,400. The number of estimated hours for computing the fixed overhead application rate totaled 37,200 hours. Required: a. Prepare a variable overhead analysis. b. Prepare a fixed overhead analysis. Answer is not complete. Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Required A Required B Prepare a variable overhead analysis. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, or "U" for unfavorable. If there is no effect, do not select either option.) Price variance Efficiency variance Variable overhead cost variance < Required A Required B

Answer 1

Solution a:

Variable Overhead Cost Variance
Actual Cost					Standard cost for actual quantity					Standard Cost
AH *	AR =				AH *	SR =				SH *	SR =
34000	$30.07	$1,022,400.00			34000	$30.00	$1,020,000.00			34640	$30.00	$1,039,200.00
			$2,400.00	U				$19,200.00	F
			Variable overhead rate variance					Variable overhead efficiency variance
Variable overhead rate variance					$2,400.00	U
Variable overhead efficiency variance					$19,200.00	F
Variable overhead cost variance					$16,800.00	F
