Answer 1

1.

Actual variable OH cost		Flexible Budget (Actual hours*standard rate)		Standard Cost (VOH applied) (Standard hours*standard rate)
$1,375,000		$1,360,000		$1,400,000
		(340,000*$4)		(35,000*10*$4)
	$15,000 U		$40,000 F
Variable overhead spending variance	$15,000	Unfavorable
Variable overhead efficiency variance	$40,000	Favorable
Total variable overhead cost variance	$25,000	Favorable

2.

Actual fixed overhead		Fixed overhead budgeted		Fixed overhead applied (Standard hours*Budgeted rate)
$628,600		$600,000		$560,000
				(350,000*1.6)
	$28,600 U		$40,000 U
Fixed overhead spending variance	$28,600	Unfavorable
Fixed overhead volume variance	$40,000	Unfavorable
Total fixed overhead variance	$68,600	Unfavorable

3.

Variable overhead spending variance	$15,000 U
Variable overhead efficiency variance	$40,000 F
Fixed overhead spending variance	$28,600 U
Controllable variance	$3,600 U
