Variable manufacturing overhead, variance analysis. Omega Arts is a manufacturer of designer vases. The cost of each vase is the sum of three variable costs (direct material costs, direct manufactur- ing labor costs, and manufacturing overhead costs) and one fixed-cost category (manufacturing overhead costs). Variable manufacturing overhead cost is allocated to each vase on the basis of budgeted direct manufacturing labor-hours per vase. For June 2017, each vase is budgeted to take 4 labor-hours. Budgeted variable manufacturing overhead cost per labor-hour is $14. The budgeted number of vases to be manufac- tured in June 2017 is 1,100.

Actual variable manufacturing costs in June 2017 were $65,205 for 1,150 vases started and completed. There were no beginning inventories or ending inventories for the vases. Actual direct manufacturing labor- hours for June were 4,830.

1. Compute the flexible-budget variance, the spending variance, and the efficiency variance for variable manufacturing overhead.

2. Comment on the results.

The Platter Valley factory of Bybee Industries currently uses a four-variance analysis of the total factory overhead cost variance but is thinking of changing to a three-variance analysis.

The Platter Valley factory of Bybee Industries manufactures field boots. The cost of each boot includes direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing (factory) overhead. The firm traces all direct costs to products, and it assigns overhead cost to products based on direct labor hours. The company budgeted $15,000 variable factory overhead cost and 2,500 direct labor hours to manufacture 5,000 pairs of boots in March. The factory used 2,700 direct labor hours in March to manufacture 4,800 pairs of boots...

The total prime cost of a product was OMR4,400. The variable manufacturing overhead is calculated based on the number of direct labor hours. The variable manufacturing overhead cost per hour is three times the direct labor cost per hour. The fixed manufacturing overhead was OMR1,500. Assuming that direct labor hours were 300 and that the direct labor cost was 10% of direct materials cost, how much is the total manufacturing cost? Select one: a. OMR7,100 b. OMR5,900 c.
