Question

hapter 8 3) Hot Corporation manufactures air conditioning units. It allocate all overhead based on direct compiled the following data for September overhead expenditures: labor hours. Hot has Budgeted output units (finished goods) Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead Budgeted variable manufacturing overhead Budgeted direct manufacturing labor hours Fixed manufacturing costs incurred Direct manufacturing labor hours used Variable manufacturing costs incurred Actual units manufactured 3,200 units $20,000 $5 per direct labor hour 2 hours per unit $26,000 7.200 $35,600 3,400 a. Compute the variable overhead variances. b. Make the jounal entry'(s) to record Hot's variable overhead and variances for September. c. Compute the fixed overhead variances. d. Make the journal entry(s) to record Hot's fixed overhead and variances for September.

Explanation / Answer

a) Variable Overhead Variance= (Standard hrs for actual output * Standard variable overhead rate)-Actual Overhead     Cost

                                 = (2*3400*5)-35600

                                  =34000-35600

                                   = $1600 Adverse

b) ournal Entry for recording Variable Overhead & Variances for September

Particulars                                           Debit    Credit

Work in Process Inventory                    34000

Variable Overhead Variance                    1600

Variable Overhead Expense                               35600

c) Fixed Overhead Cost Variance =(Standard hrs for actual output* Standard fixed rate )-Actual fixed overhead

                                             = (2*3400*3.125#)-26000

                                             = 21250-26000

                                             = $4750 Adverse

d) Journal Entry for recording Fixed Overhead & Variances for September

Particulars                                           Debit    Credit

Work in Process Inventory                    21250

Fixed Overhead Variance                       4750

Fixed Overhead Expense                               26000
