The standard variable overhead rate per machine setup is:
Multiple Choice
$18.44
$21.30
$21.00
$20.00
Answer :- $18.44
Assume Variable overhead = X
variable manufacturing overhead variance = standard variable overhead cost - Actual variable overheads | |||||||
$4,550 = X - $70,000 | |||||||
X = $65,450 | |||||||
standard variable overhead rate per machine setup = (standard variable overhead / standard machine setups) | |||||||
= $65,450 / 3,550 | |||||||
= $18.44 |
