At the beginning of the year, Lopez Company had the following standard cost sheet for one of it's chemical products:

Direct Materials (4 lbs @ $2.80) - $11.20

Direct Labor (2 hrs @ $18.00) - 36.00

FOH (2 hrs @ $5.20) - 10.40

VOH (2 hrs @ $0.70) - 1.40

Standard Cost Per Unit - $59.00

Lopez computes its overhead rates using practical volume, which is 90,000 units.

The actual results for the year are as follows:

(a) units produced: 88,000

(b) direct labor: 170,000 hours

(c) FOH: $930,000 and

(d) VOH: $125,000

1. Compute the variable overhead spending variance.

2. Compute the variable overhead efficiency variance.

3. Compute the fixed overhead spending variance.

4. Compute the fixed overhead volume variance.

Answer:

     Actual Hours                                  = AH
      Standard Rate                              = SR
     Standard Hours                             = SH
     Actual rate                                      = AR
   
For Direct Material:
Variable overhead spending variance   = AH x (AR (-) SR)
                                                                                 = 170,000   x ($0.74 (-) $0.70)
                                                                                 =
$6,800 (UnFavourable)
** Actual Rate = VOH / Actual hours Worked = $125,000 / 170,000 = $ 0.74
Variable overhead Efficiency variance   = SR x (AH (-) SH)
                                                                                 = $0.70 x (170,000 (-) 176,000)
                                                                                 =
$4,200 (Favourable)
** Standard hours = units produced x No. of Hours = 88,000 units * 2 hour = 176,000 hours
Fixed overhead spending variance          = Actual FOH (-) Budgeted FOH
                                                                                 = $930,000 (-) (90,000 x $10.40)
                                                                                 = $930,000 (-) $936,000
                                                                                 =
$6,000 (Favourable)
Fixed overhead Volume variance           = Absorbed FOH (-) Budgeted FOH
                                                                                 =     (88,000 x $10.40) (-) (90,000 x $10.40)
                                                                                 = $915,200 (-) $936,000
                                                                                 =
$20,800 (Favourable)
