Question

You brought your work home one evening, and your nephew spilled his chocolate milk shake on the variance report you were preparing. Fortunately, knowing that overhead was applied based on machine hours, you were able to reconstruct the obliterated information from the remaining data. Fill in the missing numbers below. (Round your answer to two decimal places. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "Favorable" or "Unfavorable". Select "None" and enter "0" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).) Standard machine hours per unit of output Standard variable-overhead rate per machine hour Actual variable-overhead rate per machine hour Actual machine hours per unit of outpu Budgeted fixed overhead Actual fixed overhead Budgeted production in units Actual production in units Variable-overhead spending variance Variable-overhead efficiency variance Fixed-overhead budget variance Fixed-overhead volume variance Total actual overhead Total budgeted overhead (flexible budget) Total budgeted overhead (static budget) Total applied overhead 5 hours S 9.00 S 27,500 11,000 S 33,000 Unfavorable S 126,000 Favorable S 9,000 Unfavorable S 366,500 S 446,500

Explanation / Answer

Solution:-

Explanation 1 Actual fixed overhead:-

Fixed overhead budget variance = actual fixed overhead – budgeted fixed overhead

$9,000 U = actual fixed overhead - $27,500

actual fixed overhead = $9,000 + $27,500 = $36,500

Explanation 2 Actual variable overhead rate/machine hour:-

Need to determine the actual variable overhead and actual hours

Actual variable overhead = Total actual overhead – Actual fixed overhead

Actual variable overhead = $366,500 - $36,500 (from Explanation 1) = $330,000

Variable overhead spending variance = actual variable overhead – (actual hours x standard rate)

$33,000 U = $330,000 – (actual hours x $8)

$8 * actual hours = $330,000 - $33,000

Actual hours = 37,125

Actual variable overhead rate/machine hour = Actual variable overhead ÷ Actual hours

$330,000 / 37,125 = $8.89 per hour

Explanation 3 Actual production in units:-

Actual production in units = Total standard hours ÷ Standard hours/unit

Standard hours/unit is given = 5 hours

Fixed overhead rate = Budgeted fixed overhead ÷ Budgeted machine hours

= $27,500 ÷ (11,000 units x 5 hours/unit)

= $ 0.50 / hour

Total standard overhead rate = Standard variable overhead rate + Fixed overhead rate

= $9.00 + $0.50

= $ 9.50

Total applied overhead = Total standard hours x Total standard overhead rate

$446,500 = Total standard hours x $9.50

Total standard hours = $446,500 ÷ $9.50

= 47,000 hours

Actual production in units = 47,000 hours ÷ 5 hours/unit

= 9,400 units

Explanation 4 Actual machine hours/unit of output:-

Actual machine hours/unit of output = Total actual machine hours ÷ Actual production

Total actual machine hours was computed in Explanation 2 = 37,125 hours

Actual production was computed in Explanation 3 = 9,400 units

Actual machine hours/unit of output = 37,125 hours ÷ 9,400 units

= 3.95 hours/unit

Explanation 5 Total budgeted overhead (flexible budget):-

Total budgeted overhead (flexible budget) = Budgeted fixed overhead (Standard variable rate x Standard hours)

Budgeted fixed overhead given = $27,500

Standard variable rate given = $9/machine hour

Standard hours = 5 hours x 9,400 units (from Explanation 3) = 47,000 hours

Total budgeted overhead (flexible budget) = $27,500 + ($9.00 x 47,000 hours)

= $450,500

Explanation 6 Total budgeted overhead (static budget):-

Total budgeted overhead (static budget) = Total standard overhead rate x Budgeted production x Standard hours/unit

Total standard overhead rate (computed in Explanation 3) = $9.50

Budgeted production given = 11,000

Standard hours/unit given = 5

Total budgeted overhead (static budget) = $9.50 x 11,000 units x 5 hours/unit

= $522,500

Explanation 7 Fixed overhead volume variance:-

Fixed overhead volume variance = Budgeted fixed overhead – Applied fixed overhead

Budgeted fixed overhead given = $27,500

Applied fixed overhead = Fixed overhead rate (computed in Explanation 3) x Actual production (computed in Explanation 3) x Standard machine hours/unit

Applied fixed overhead = $0.50 x (9,400 x 5) = $23,500

Fixed overhead volume variance = $27,500 ? $23,500 = $4,000 F
