Overhead Variances, Two- And Three-Variance Analyses
Oerstman, Inc., uses a standard costing system and develops its overhead rates from the current annual budget. The budget is based on an expected annual output of 120,000 units requiring 480,000 direct labor hours. (Practical capacity is 500,000 hours.) Annual budgeted overhead costs total $739,200, of which $542,400 is fixed overhead. A total of 119,300 units using 478,000 direct labor hours were produced during the year. Actual variable overhead costs for the year were $241,300, and actual fixed overhead costs were $556,350.
Required:
1. Compute overhead variances using a two-variance analysis.
Budget Variance | $ | Unfavorable |
Volume Variance | $ | Unfavorable |
2. Compute overhead variances using a three-variance analysis.
Spending Variance | $ | Unfavorable |
Efficiency Variance | $ | Unfavorable |
Volume Variance | $ | Unfavorable |
Answer:
Compute Overhead Variance Using a Two Variance Analysis | ||
Particular | Amount | |
Actual Overhead ( $241300+$556350) | 797650 | |
Budgeted Overhead(SVORX SH+Fixed OH) ((739200-542400)/120000*119300)+542400 |
738052 | |
Applied Overhead (119300*739200/120000 | 734888 |
Budgeted Variance= Actual Overhed -Budgeted Overhead | |
$797650-$738052= | 59598 |
Volume Overhead= Appplied Overhead- Budgeted Overhead | |
$734888-$738052= | 3164 |
Compute Overhead Variance Using a Three Variance Analysis | |||
Particular | Amount | ||
Actual Overhead ( $241300+$556300) | 797650 | ||
Budgeted Fixed Overhead(SVORX AH) ((739200-542400)/480000*478000)+542400 |
738380 | ||
Budgeted Fixed Overhead(SVORX SH+Fixed OH) ((739200-542400)/120000*119300)+542400 |
738052 | ||
Applied Overhead (119100X780520/123500 | 752712 |
Sepnding Variance= Actual Overhed -Budgeted Fixed Overhead |
=(797650-738380)= $59270 U |
Efficiency Overhead= Budgeted Fxed Overhead- Budged fixed Standard OH |
(738380-738052)= $328 U |
Volume Variance=Applied Overhead-Budgeted Overhead |
(752712-738052)=$14660 U |
