a. Calculation of flexible-budget variance
Budgeted | Flexible | Actual | variance | ||
Production (in units) | 10000 | 9000 | 9000 | ||
Direct labor hour used 2 hour/unit | 20000 | 18000 | 18500 | ||
Factory overhead | |||||
Fixed Overhead (2.5*20000) | 50000 | 50000 | 52000 | 2000 | U |
variable overhead (1.5*18000) | 30000 | 27000 | 28500 | 1500 | U |
b. Calculation of Production volume variance
Production Volume variance = (Actual Units produced - Budgeted production units)*Budgeted overhead rate per unit
Actual Unit produced = 9000
Budgeted Production units = 10000
Budgeted overhead rate = (2.5+1.5)*Direct labor hour per unit
= 4*2
= 8
Production volume variance = (9000 - 10000)*8
= 8000 U
(c) Total factory overhead = 80500
budgeted overhead = 77000
as Actual overhead > Budgeted overhead
so the overhead was under-applied.

At the beginning of the year, Fort Worth Manufacturing estimated that its annual variable factory overhead would be $923,400, and its fixed factory overhead would be $1,798,200. The company's payroll consisted of 27 direct labor employees, and each was expected to work 1,800 direct labor hours. Fort Worth applies overhead to products based on direct labor hours. Each finished unit produced by the company is anticipated to require four direct labor hours. Actual production and cost information for the year...

Overhead Application, Overhead Variances, Journal Entries Plimpton Company produces countertop ovens. Plimpton uses a standard costing system. The standard costing system relies on direct labor hours to assign overhead costs to production. The direct labor standard indicates that two direct labor hours should be used for every oven produced. The normal production volume is 100,000 units. The budgeted overhead for the coming year is as follows: Fixed overhead $770,000 Variable overhead 446,000* *At normal volume. Plimpton applies overhead on the...
