Calculating factory overhead

The standard capacity of a factory is 8,000 units per month. Cost and production data follow:

Standard application rate for fixed overhead. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $0.50 per unit

Standard application rate for variable overhead . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $1.50 per unit

Production–Month 1. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7,400 units

Production–Month 2. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8,200 units

Actual factory overhead–Month 1. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $15,100

Actual factory overhead–Month 2. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $17,200

Calculate the amount of factory overhead allowed for the actual volume of production each month and the variance between budgeted and actual overhead for each month.
