At the end of the year, the company's Manufacturing Overhead account contained the following data:
Management would like to determine the cause of the $15,400 underapplied overhead.
Required:
- Compute the predetermined overhead rate. Break the rate down into variable and fixed cost elements.
- Show how the $272,000 Applied figure in the Manufacturing Overhead account was computed.
- 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. - Explain the meaning of each variance that you computed in (3) above.
