Manufacturing overhead is applied to production on the basis of standard direct labor-hours, According to the companys planning budget, the following manufacturing overhead costs should be incurred at an activity level of 35.000 labor-hours (the denominator activity level):

Management would like to determine the cause of the $15,400 underapplied overhead.

Required:

  1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate. Break the rate down into variable and fixed cost elements.
  2. Show how the $272,000 Applied figure in the Manufacturing Overhead account was computed.
  3. Breakdown the $15,400 underapplied overhead into four components: (1) variable overhead rate variance. (2) variable overhead efficiency variance. (3) fixed overhead budget variance, and (4) fixed overhead volume variance.
  4. Explain the meaning of each variance that you computed in (3) above.

Example-2Variable manufacturing overhead variance analysis. The Sourdough Bread Company bakes baguettes for distribution to upscale grocery stores. The company has two direct-cost categories: direct materials and direct manufacturing labor. Variable manufacturing overhead is allocated to products on the basis of standard direct manufacturing labor-hours. Following is some budget data for the Sourdough Bread Company:Direct manufacturing labor use 0.02 hours per baguetteVariable manufacturing overhead $10.00 per direct manufacturing labor-hourThe Sourdough Bread Company provides the following additional data for the year ended December 31, 2017:Required:Planned (budgeted) outputActual productionDirect manufacturing laborActual variable manufacturing overhead3,100,000 baguettes 2,600,000 baguettes 46,800 hours$617,7601. What is the denominator level used for allocating variable manufacturing overhead? (That is, for how many direct manufacturing labor-hours is Sourdough Bread budgeting?)2.…
⦁    Use ABC to compute overhead cost assigned to an order.KCC Production Corporation uses an activity-based costing system and provided the following budget data:  The distribution of resource consumption across activities is as follows:  During the year, KCC completed one order from a new customer for 1,000 units, and the related data are as follows: direct labor hours= 0.5 /unit direct materials= $2.00/unit direct labor= $5.00/hour machine hour =1 machine hour per unit  Requirements1. Compute the activity rates for each of the activity cost pools.2. Compute the overhead cost assigned to the order from the new customer.
