12. The variable manufacturing overhead cost included in the planning
13, 14, and 15.
The variable overhead cost included in the flexible budget (SH × SR =
$300,000), the variable overhead rate variance ($5,500 U), and the
variable overhead efficiency variance ($25,000 F) can be computed using
the general model for cost variances as follows:
Actual Hours of Input,
at Actual Rate
(AH × AR)
Actual Hours of Input,
at Standard Rate
(AH × SR)
Standard Hours
llowed
for Actual Output,
at Standard Rate
(SH × SR)
Alternatively, the variances can be computed using the formulas:
Variable overhead rate variance = AH (AR* – SR)
Variable overhead efficiency variance = SR (AH – SH)
