In: Accounting
Units Produced 131000
Standard direct labor hours per unit .20
Standard variable OH rate per dierect labor hour 3.4
actual variable overhead costs 8670
Actaul hours worked 26350
1. Calculate the total variable overhead variance
2. What if the actual production was 129600 units? How would that affect the total variable overhead variance?
the total variable overhead variance
2. What if actual production has been
Answer 1.
Units produced = 131,000
Standard direct labor hours per unit = 0.20
Standard variable overhead rate per DLH = $3.40
Actual variable overhead costs = $8,670
Standard labor hours allowed = Units produced * Standard direct
labor hours per unit
Standard labor hours allowed = 131,000 * 0.20
Standard labor hours allowed = 26,200
Variable overhead variance = Actual variable overhead costs -
Standard labor hours allowed * Standard variable overhead rate per
DLH
Variable overhead variance = $8,670 - 26,200 * $3.40
Variable overhead variance = $80,410 Favorable
Answer 2.
Units produced = 129,600
Standard direct labor hours per unit = 0.20
Standard variable overhead rate per DLH = $3.40
Actual variable overhead costs = $8,670
Standard labor hours allowed = Units produced * Standard direct
labor hours per unit
Standard labor hours allowed = 129,600 * 0.20
Standard labor hours allowed = 25,920
Variable overhead variance = Actual variable overhead costs -
Standard labor hours allowed * Standard variable overhead rate per
DLH
Variable overhead variance = $8,670 - 25,920 * $3.40
Variable overhead variance = $79,458 Favorable
