Question

Need help calculating variable overhead efficiently variances for august. show all steps!

Marvel Parts, Inc, manufactures auto accessories. One of the company's products is a set of seat covers that can be adjusted to fit nearly any small car. The company has a standard cost system in use for all of its products. According to the standards that have been set for the seat covers, the factory should work 1,010 hours each month to produce 2,020 sets of covers. The standard costs associated with this level of production are: Per Set Total of Covers 36,360 $18.00 $7,070 3.50 Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead (based on direct labor-hours) 3,030 1.50 $23.00 During August, the factory worked only 1,080 direct labor-hours and produced 2.700 sets of covers. The following actual costs were recorded during the month: Per Set Total of Covers Direct materials (8,100 yards) Direct labor 46,980 $17.40 $9,990 3.70 Variable manufacturing overhead$4,5901.70 $22.80 At standard, each set of covers should require 2.0 yards of material. All of the materials purchased during the month were used in production. Required: 1. Compute the materials price and quantity variances for August. 2. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances for August 3. Compute the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances for August. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.) Answer is complete but not entirely correct. 25,920F 1. Materials price variance Materials quantity variance 2 Labor rate variance 2.430 Labor efficiency variance 3. Variable overhead rate variance Variable overhead ofliclency 1,350u 108 F

Answer 1

Only the variable overhead efficiency is calculated as per the requirement.

1	Calculation of the variable overhead efficiency variance
		Std OH rate *(Actual Hrs-Standard Hours)
		$3*(1080-1010/2020*2700)
		$3*(1080-1350)
		$810 F
	Calculation of standard variable overhead rate
	variable Manufacturing Overhead/standard hours
	$3030/1010
	$3
