- Refer 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_forwardVariances Refer to Cornerstone Exercise 9.6. Required: 1. Calculate the variable overhead spending variance using the formula approach. (If you compute the actual variable overhead rate, carry your computations out to five significant digits and round the variance to the nearest dollar.) 2. Calculate the variable overhead efficiency variance using the formula approach. 3. Calculate the variable overhead spending variance and variable overhead efficiency variance using the three-pronged graphical approach. 4. What if 26,100 direct labor hours were actually worked in February? What impact would that have had on the variable overhead spending variance? On the variable overhead efficiency variance? Standish Company manufactures consumer products and provided the following information for the month of February: Required: 1. Calculate the fixed overhead spending variance using the formula approach. 2. Calculate the volume variance using the formula approach. 3. Calculate the fixed overhead spending variance and volume variance using the three-pronged graphical approach. 4. What if 129,600 units had actually been produced in February? What impact would that have had on the fixed overhead spending variance? On the volume variance?arrow_forward(Appendix) Calculating factory overhead: four variances Atlanta Adhesives Inc. budgets 15,000 direct labor hours for the year.
