The standard costs and actual costs for factory overhead for the manufacture of 2,800 units of actual production are as follows:
Standard Costs | |
Fixed overhead (based on 10,000 hours) | 3 hours per unit @ $0.78 per hour |
Variable overhead | 3 hours per unit @ $1.91 per hour |
Actual Costs |
|
Total variable cost, $17,800 | |
Total fixed cost, $8,100 |
The variable factory overhead controllable variance is
a.$1,756 favorable
b.$1,756 unfavorable
c.$1,405 favorable
d.$0
Option B
1. variable factory overhead controllable variance
variable factory overhead controllable variance = Actual OH - Budgeted OH based on standard hours
variable factory overhead controllable variance = $17800 - Units Produced * Standard Hours * $ per hour
variable factory overhead controllable variance = $17800 - 2800 * 3 * $1.91
variable factory overhead controllable variance = $17800 - $16044
variable factory overhead controllable variance = $1756 Unfavourable
