Question

The condensed form of Nordstrop Company’s flexible budget for manufacturing overhead follows:

The condensed form of Nordstrop Company's flexible budget for manufacturing overhead follows Machine-Hours Cost Formula Overhead Costs (per machine-hour)8,500 9,50010,500 $ 8,925 $ 9,975 $11,025 28,900 28,900 28,900 1.05 Variable cost Fixed cost Total overhead cost $ 37,825 $38,875 $39,925 The following information is available for a recent period a. The denominator activity of 8,500 machine-hours was chosen to compute the predetermined overhead rate b. At the 8,500 standard machine-hours level of activity, the company should produce 2,125 units of product c. The company's actual operating results were as follows Number of units produced Actual machine-hours Actual variable overhead costs Actual fixed overhead costs 2,425 8,500 $ 9,800 $29,000 Required: 1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate and break it down into variable and fixed cost elements Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Predetermined overhead rate Variable rate Fixed rate per MH per MH per MH 2. What were the standard hours allowed for the year's actual output? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) Standard hours for actual production MHs 3. Compute the variable overhead spending and efficiency variances and the fixed overhead budget and volume variances. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favourable, "U" for unfavourable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).) Variable overhead spending variance Variable overhead efficiency variance Fixed overhead budget variance Fixed overhead volume variance

Explanation / Answer

a predetermined overhead rate Variable (8925/8500) 1.05 Fixed (28900/8500) 3.4 Total (37825/8500) 4.45 per MH b 8500Machine hours/2125 4 MH per ut c Variable Over Head Spending Variance (AH × AR) – (AH × SR) (9800)-(8500Mhrsx1.05Per Mhr) 875 U Variable overhead efficiency variance SR (AH – SH) 1.05Per Mhr(8500Mhr-(4*2425)) 1.05(8500-9700) 1260 F fixed overhead budget variance is Actual Fixed Overhead cost – budgeted fixed overhead cost = (29000-28900) 100 U fixed overhead volume variance is: 28900-9700*3.4 -4080 F
