Variable Overhead Variances The Platter Valley factory of Bybee Industries manufactures field boots. The cost of each boot includes direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. The firm traces all direct costs to products, and it assigns overhead based on direct labor hours.
The company budgeted $15,000 variable overhead and 2,500 direct labor hours to manufacture 5,000 pairs of boots in March 2010.
The factory spent 2,700 direct labor hours in March 2010 to manufacture 4,800 pairs of boots and spent $15,600 on variable overhead during the month.
