Budgeted fixed overhead rate per machine hour | $ | 0.50 | |
Actual variable overhead | $ | 73,000 | |
Budgeted variable overhead rate per machine hour | $ | 2.50 | |
Actual fixed overhead | $ | 17,000 | |
Budgeted hours allowed for actual output achieved | 32,000 | ||
Based on this information, the total overhead variance is:
Multiple Choice
$6,000 favorable.
$1,000 favorable.
$7,000 favorable.
$6,000 unfavorable.
$1,000 unfavorable.
Ans:
Option $6,000 favourable. Is Correct Answer
Explanation:
Total Overhead Variance=Total variable overhead Variace + Total Fixed overhead variance
= 7000 favourable +1000 unfavorable=$6000 favorable
The Total Variable Overhead Variance=Budgeted variable overhead-Actual total variable overhead
=Budgeted machine hours allowed for actual output*Budgeted variable overhead rate per machine hour - Actual total variable overhead
=32,000*$2.50-$73,000=$7,000 favourable.
The Total Fixed Overhead Variance=Budgeted Fixed overhead-Actual Fixed overhead
=Budgeted machine hours allowed for actual output*Budgeted Fixed overhead rate per machine hour - Actual Fixed overhead
=32000*.50-17000=16000-17000=1000 unfavorable.,,
