Factory Overhead Cost Variances

The following data relate to factory overhead cost for the production of 6,000 computers:

If productive capacity of 100% was 10,000 hours and the factory overhead cost budgeted at the level of 6,000 standard hours was $273,000, determine the variable factory overhead Controllable Variance, fixed factory overhead volume variance, and total factory overhead cost variance. The fixed factory overhead rate was $5.25 per hour. Use the minus sign to enter favorable variances as negative numbers.

Controllable variance                                  $-6600   Favorable

Volume Variance                                        $               Unfavorable

Total factory overhead cost variance             $               Unfavorable

Actual: Variable factory overhead $213,900 Fixed factory overhead 52,500 Standard: 6,000 hrs. at $42.00 252,000

Explanation / Answer

Controllable variance                                  $-6600   Favorable

Volume Variance                                        $ 21,000 Unfavorable

Total factory overhead cost variance             $ 14,400 Unfavorable
