Ex. 23–19
Productive capacity for the month 25,000 hrs.
Actual productive capacity used for the month 22,000 hrs.
Budget
(at actual
production) Actual Favorable Unfavorable
Variable factory overhead costs:1
Total variable factory
overhead cost $ 85,800 $ 86,700

1The budgeted variable factory overhead costs are determined by multiplying
22,000 hours by the variable factory overhead cost rate for each variable cost
category. These rates are determined by dividing each budgeted amount
(estimated at the beginning of the month) by the planned (budgeted) volume
of 20,000 hours. Thus, for example:
