Question
Logistics Solutions maintains warehouses that stock items carried by its dot.com clients. When a client receives an
order from a customer, the order is forwarded to Logistics Solutions, which pulls the item from storage, packs it,
and ships it to the customer. The company uses a predetermined variable overhead rate based on direct labor-
hours.
In the most recent month, 155,000 items were shipped to customers using 6,000 direct labor-hours. The company
incurred a total of $17,400 in variable overhead costs.
According to the company's standards, 0.04 direct labor-hour is required to fulfill an order for one item and the
variable overhead rate is $3.00 per direct labor-hour.
Required:
1. What is the standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to ship 155,000 items to customers?
2. What is the standard variable overhead cost allowed (SH × SR) to ship 155,000 items to customers?
3. What is the variable overhead spending variance?
4. What are the variable overhead rate variance and the variable overhead efficiency variance?
Note: For requirements 3 and 4, indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for
unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round
intermediate calculations.
