Question

Sedona Company set the following standard costs for one unit of its product for 2017. Direct material (20 Ibs. $2.10 per Ib.) Direct labor (10 hrs. $8.80 per hr.1) Factory variable overhead (10 hrs. $4.00 per hr. Factory tixed overhead (10 hr. $1.80 per hr.) Standard cost s 42.00 88.00 40.00 18.00 $188.00 The $5.80 ($4.00+$1.80) total overhead rate per direct labor hour is based on an expected operating level equal to 70% of the factory's capacity of 70,000 units per month.

Answer 1

Sedona Company 1) VOH spending variance (Actual labor hours x SVR) (Actual labor hours x AVR) VOH spending variance (435,000 x $4.00) $1,765,000 VOH spending variance $1,740,000 $1,765,000 VOH spending variance $25,000 (Unfavorable) VOH efficiency variance SVR x (Standard labor hours allowed - Actual labor hours) VOH efficiency variance Ş4.00 x (455,000 435,000) VOH efficiency variance - $4.00 x 20,000 VOH efficiency variance $80,000 (Favorable) 2) FOH spending variance = Budgeted FOH-Actual FOH FOH spending variance $882,000-$943,000 FOH spending variance $61,000 (Unfavorable) FOH volume variance Budgeted FOH Applied FOH FOH volume variance $882,000-(455,000 x $1.80) FOH volume variance = $960,000-$819,000 FOH volume variance $63,000 (Unfavorable) or FOH volume variance SFR x (Normal capacity - Standard hours allowed) FOH volume variance = $1.80 x (490,000-455,000) FOH volume variance = $1.80 x 35,000 FOH volume variance $63,000 (Unfavorable) Actual total overhead costs $27,08,000 Less: Budgeted overhead cos 27,02,000 Overhead controllable varian $6,000 (Unfavorable)
