Question
13. What variable manufacturing overhead cost would be included in the company’s flexible budget for March?
14. What is the variable overhead rate variance for March? (Round the actual overhead rate to two decimal places. 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.)
15. What is the variable overhead efficiency variance for March? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the actual overhead rate to two decimal places. 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.)
Preble Company manufactures one product. Its variable manufacturing overhead is applied to production based on direct labor-hours and its standard cost card per unit is as follows: Direct materials: 6 pounds at $8 per pound Direct labor: 3 hours at $14 per hour Variable overhead: 3 hours at $5 per hour Total standard cost per unit $ 48 42 15 $105 The planning budget for March was based on producing and selling 19,000 units However, during March the company actually produced and sold 24,000 units and incurred the following costs: a. Purchased 160,000 pounds of raw materials at a cost of $7.20 per pound. All of this material was used in production b. Direct laborers worked 60,000 hours at a rate of $15 per hour. c. Total variable manufacturing overhead for the month was $336,600.Explanation / Answer
13) Variable manufacturing overhead in flexible budget = 24000*15 = 360000
14) Variable overhead rate variance = (5*60000-336600) = 36600 U
15) Variable overhead efficiency variance = (24000*3-60000)*5 = 60000 F
