Problem 10B-6 (60 minutes)
1. The manufacturing cost variances are computed as follows:
Materials price variance = AQ(AP – SP)
Labor rate variance = AH(AR – SR)
265,000 hours ($15.00 per hour – $16.00 per hour) = $265,000 F
Labor efficiency variance = SR(AH – SH)
$16.00 per hour (265,000 hours – 250,000 hours) = $240,000 U
Variable overhead efficiency variance = SR(AH – SH)
$2.00 per hour (265,000 hours – 250,000 hours) = $30,000 U
Budget variance = Actual fixed overhead – Budgeted fixed overhead
Note: The budgeted fixed overhead of $2,400,000 is computed as
follows:
otal bud
eted overhead (a) ……………………………. $2,880,000
ariable portion of the bud
et (240,000 DLH ×$2.00
Note: The fixed overhead applied of $2,500,000 is computed as follows:
Standard labor-hours allowed (a) ………………………. 250,000
Fixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate
