- * 00 CH R E. Exercise 16-35 (Algo) Profit Variance Analysis (LO 16-4) Paynesville Corporation manufactures and sells a preservative used in food and drug manufacturing. The company carries no inventories. The master budget calls for the company to manufacture and sell 116,000 liters at a budgeted price of $195 per liter this year. The standard direct cost sheet for one liter of the preservative follows. Direct materials Direct labor (2 pounds @ $12) (0.5 hours @ $40) $24 Variable overhead is applied based on direct labor hours. The variable overhead rate is $100 per direct-labor hour. The fixed overhead rate (at the master budget level of activity) is $50 per unit. All non-manufacturing costs are fixed and are budgeted at $2 million for the coming year. At the end of the year, the costs analyst reported that the sales activity variance for the year was $606,000 unfavorable.

- I need part 4 and 5 solution The Henry company made the following data available from its accounting records and reports. 600,000 estimated factory overhead = Rs.3.00 200,000 estimated direct labor hours Further analysis indicates that one-third of the rate is variable cost oriented. During the year, the company worked 210,000 direct labor hours and actual factory overhead expenditures were Rs.631,000.

Prepare the journal entry to charge overhead costs to the Work in Process Inventory account and to record any variances View transaction list Journal entry worksheet Record overhead applied to production and overhead variances..arrow_forwardRefer to the data in Exercise 9.15. Required: 1. Compute overhead variances using a two-variance analysis. 2. Compute overhead variances using a three-variance analysis. 3. Illustrate how the two- and three-variance analyses are related to the four-variance analysis. Oerstman, Inc., uses a standard costing system and develops its overhead rates from the current annual budget. The budget is based on an expected annual output of 120,000 units requiring 480,000 direct labor hours. (Practical capacity is 500,000 hours.) Annual budgeted overhead costs total 787,200, of which 556,800 is fixed overhead. A total of 119,400 units using 478,000 direct labor hours were produced during the year. Actual variable overhead costs for the year were 230,600, and actual fixed overhead costs were 556,250. Required: 1. Compute the fixed overhead spending and volume variances. How would you interpret the spending variance? Discuss the possible interpretations of the volume variance. Which is most appropriate for this example? 2. Compute the variable overhead spending and efficiency variances. How is the variable overhead spending variance like the price variances of direct labor and direct materials? How is it different? How is the variable overhead efficiency variance related to the direct labor efficiency variance?arrow_forward
