Expert Solution

1) Fixed OH

Budgeted power drills 600000
Std hr to produce each drill 0.75
Budgeted Labour Hrs (600000*0.75) 450000 hrs
Budgeted OH 832500
Applied rate(832500/450000) 1.85
Actual Labour Hrs 446000
Fixed OH recovered (446000*1.85) 825100
Actual FOH 835600
FOH spending Variance (Budget - Actual) 3100 unfavorable
FOH Volume Variance (Recovered - Budget) 7400 unfavorable

2) Variable OH

Total budgeted OH 1777500
Budgeted FOH 832500
Budgeted Variable OH (1777500-832500) 945000
Budgeted Labour Hrs 450000
Applied Rate/ Std Rate (945000/450000) 2.1
Actual power drills 594000
Std Lab hr for each drill 0.75
Std Lab hrs for 594000 drills 445500
Actual Variable OH 928000
Actual Lab Hrs 446000

Variable OH Spending Variance = (Std Rate - Actual Rate)* Actual Lab Hrs = (2.1 - Actual Rate)*Actual lab Hrs = 2.1*Actual lab hrs - Actual rate * Actual Lab Hrs = 2.1*446000 - Actual Variable OH = 936600 - 928000 = 8600 favorable

Variable Efficiency Variance = (Std hrs - Actual Hrs) * Std rate = (445500 - 446000) * 2.1 = 1050 unfavorable
