Li Pong company uses a standard costing system. Last year they incurred $100,000 of Variable Overhead and $294,000 of Fixed Overhead and had the following variances before closing entries.
FOH Budget Variance - $5,000 F
FOH Volume Variance - $4,000 U
VOH Spending Variance - $4,000 F
VOH Efficiency Variance - $2,000 U
How much overhead was applied to inventory over the course of the year?
(Answer in dollars)

Solution:
Calculation of Applied Overhead
Applied Fixed Overhead
Budgeted Fixed Overhead variance = Budgeted Fixed Overhead – Actual Fixed Overhead
$5,000 = Budgeted Fixed Overhead - $294,000
Budgeted Fixed Overhead = $294000 + 5000 = $299,000
Budgeted Fixed Overhead - Applied Fixed Overhead = Fixed Overhead Volume Variance
$299,000 – Applied Fixed Overhead = $4,000
Applied Fixed Overhead = $299,000 - $4,000 = $295,000
Applied Variable Overhead
VOH Spending Variance = $4,000 F
Budgeted VOH – Actual VOH = $4,000 F
Budgeted VOH - $100,000 = 4,000
Budgeted VOH = $104,000
Budgeted VOH Efficiency Variance = Budgeted VOH – Applied VOH
2,000 = 104,000 – Applied VOH
Applied VOH = $102,000
Overhead applied to the inventory over the course of the year was = $295,000 + 102,000 = $397,000
