Question

Logistics Solutions provides order fulfilment services for dot.com merchants. The company maintains warehouses that stockitems carried by its dot.com clients. When a client receives an order from a customer, the order is forwarded to Logistics Solutions, which pulls the item from storage, packs it, and ships it to the customer. The company uses a predetermined variable overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. In the most recent month, 195,000 items were shipped to customers using 8,600 direct labor-hours. The company incurred a total f $30,530 in variable overhead costs. According to the company's standards, 0,04 direct labor-hours are required to fuifill ln rder for one item 0.04 direct labor-hours are required to fulfill an order for one item and the variable overhead rate is $3.60 per direct labor-hour. Required: 1. What is the standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to ship 195,000 items to customers? 2. What is the standard variable overhead cost allowed (SH x SR) to ship 195,000 items to customers? 3. What is the variable overhead spending variance? 4. What is the variable overhead rate variance and the variable overhead efficiency variance? (For requirements 3 and 4, indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None* for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do no round intermediate calculations.J 1. Standard quantity of labor-hours allowed 2. Standard variable overhead cost allowed 3. Variable overhead spending variance 4. Variable overhead rate variance Variable overhead efficiency variance

Explanation / Answer

1) Standard quantity of labour hour allowed = 195000*.04 = 7800 Hours

2) Standard direct labour cost allowed = 7800*3.60 = 28080

3) Variable overhead spending variance = 28080-30530 = 2450 U

4) Variable overhead rate variance = (8600*3.6-30530) = 430 F

Variable overhead efficiency variance = (7800-8600)3.6 = 2880 U
