Answer 1

Answer 19-a.
Variable Overhead Rate Variance = (SR - AR) X AH
Variable Overhead Rate Variance = ($14 - $13.04) X 9,600 hrs
Variable Overhead Rate Variance = $9,240 (U)
Answer 19-b.
Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = (SH - AH) X SR
Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = (9,516 hrs - 9,600 hrs) X $14
Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = $1,176 (U)
Answer 20.
Margin = Net Operating Income / Sales
Margin = $765,830 / $17,810,000
Margin = 4.30%
Answer 21.
Turnover = Sales / Average Operating Assets
Turnover = $18,000,000 / $4,340,000
Turnover = 4.15
