In addition to other costs, Grosha Telephone Company planned to incur $600,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead in making 500,000 telephones. Grosha actually produced 508,000 telephones, incurring actual overhead costs of $599,400. Grosha establishes its predetermined overhead rate based on the planned volume of production (expected number of telephones).

Required

A. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

B. Determine the fixed cost spending variance and indicate whether it is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). (Select "None" if there is no effect (i.e., zero variance).)

C. Determine the fixed cost volume variance and indicate whether it is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). (Select "None" if there is no effect (i.e., zero variance).)

a.	Predetermined overhead rate	per unit
b.	Total fixed cost spending variance
c.	Total fixed cost volume variance

Expert Solution

a) Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated manufacturing overhead cost / Estimated total units in the allocation based

Predetermined overhead rate = 600,000 / 500,000 = 1.2 perunit

b) Total fixed cost spending variance = Actual fixed overhead cost - Estimated overhead cost

= 599,400 - 600,000

= 600 (F) Favourable

c) Total fixed cost volume variance = Actual fixed overheads - Estimated fixed overheads

Actual fixed overheads = Estimated fixed overhead rate * Actual units produced

= 1.2 * 508,000 = $609,600

Total fixed cost volume variance =$ 609,600 - $600,000 = $9600 (F) Favourable

All of the company's manufacturing overhead costs are fixed—it does not incur any variable manufacturing overhead costs. The predetermined overhead rate is based on a cost formula that estimated $2,882,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead for an estimated allocation base of 288,200 direct labor-hours. Wallis does not maintain any beginning or ending work in process inventory.The company’s beginning balance sheet is as follows: Wallis Company Balance Sheet 1/1/XX (dollars in thousands) Assets Cash $ 720 Raw materials inventory 170 Finished goods...

I need to calculate the variable costs, DLH, Fixed costs and the manufacturing overhead rate per direct labor hour for each quarter and year-end. I've done some calculation but I believe I am missing something in the variable costs calculations with the indirect materials, indirect labor hours and maintenance. I have been multiplying the indirect costs by DLH, but some of my instructions indicate I am supposed to divide it. Not sure if I am misinterpreting or just missing a...
