Question

Rogen Corporation manufactures a single product. The standard cost per unit of product is shown below. Direct materials-1 pound plastic at $7 per pound Direct labor-1.50 hours at $11.10 per hour Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead Total standard cost per unit $7.00 16.65 11.25 6.75 $41.65 The predetermined manufacturing overhead rate is $12 per direct labor hour ($18.00+ 1.50). It was computed from a master manufacturing overhead budget based on normal production of 8,850 direct labor hours (5,900 units) for the month. The master budget showed total variable costs of $66,375 ($7.50 per hour) and total fixed overhead costs of $39,825 ($4.50 per hour). Actual costs for October in producing 4,700 units were as follows. Direct materials (4,890 pounds) $35,208 Direct labor (6,900 hours) 78,660 Variable overhead 62,602 Fixed overhead 24,098 Total manufacturing costs $200,568 The purchasing department buys the quantities of raw materials that are expected to be used in production each month. Raw materials inventories, therefore, can be ignored. Compute all of the materials and labor variances. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.) Total materials variance स 2308 Unfavorable Materials price variance 978 स Unfavorable Materials quantity variance $ 1330 Unfavorable Total labor variance स सस 405 Unfavorable Labor price variance 2070 Unfavorable
Just need help with Total Overhead Variance- 6000 is incorrect

Answer 1

we will first find out budgeted overhead cost

budgeted hours per unit

=8850 dl hour/5900units

=1.5 hour per unit

standard hours for actual production

=1.5*4700units

=7050 hours

Total budgeted overhead =( fixed+ variable cost per hour)*hours

= ($7.50+$4.50)*7050

=$84,600

actual overhead = $62,602+$24,098

=$86,700

variance = budgeted overhead-actual overhead

=$84,600-$86,700

=$2100 unfavorable

As the actual overhead is more than standard allowed the variance is negative.
