The Battaglia Co. produces lounge chairs. At a budgeted amount of 10,000 lounge chairs the manufacturing overhead is $50,000 variable and $135,000 fixed. If Battaglia had actual variable manufacturing overhead of $60,500 and actual fixed manufacturing overhead of $125,000 for 11,000 lounge chairs produced, what would the spending (flexible budget) variance be for the total manufacturing overhead?
A. $4,500 favorable
B. $500 unfavorable
C. $4,500 unfavorable
D. $500 favorable
Option - A
Actual OH incurred = 60500+125000
= $ 185500
budgted Variable OH rate per unit = budgeted Variable OH / budgeted units
= 50000 / 10000
= $ 5 per unit
budgeted Fixed OH
= $ 135000
budgeted oH based on Actual UNITS PRODUCED
= ( 11000 * Variable oh rate per unit ) + budgeted Fixed OH
= (11000 * 5 ) + 135000
= $ 190000
Spending Variance For total manufacturing OH
= Actual OH - budgeted oH based on Actual UNITS PRODUCED
= 185500 - 190000
= $ 4500 ( Favorable )
Favorable Since Actual OH is less than the Budgeted
