A manufacturing company that has only one product has established the following standards for its variable manufacturing overhead. The company bases its variable manufacturing overhead standards on direct labor-hours. Standard hours per unit of output 5.30 DLHs Standard variable overhead rate $ 11.66 per DLH The following data pertain to operations for the last month: Actual direct labor-hours 8800 DLHs Actual total variable manufacturing overhead cost $ 96,000 Actual output 1500 units What is the variable overhead rate variance for the month

Answer:

$9,911 Unfavorable

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for What is the variable overhead rate variance for the month

First step is to calculate the Standard labor hours Using this formula

Standard labor hours = Actual output x Standard hours per unit of output

Let plug in the formula

Standard labor hours= 1500 x 5.30

Standard labor hours= 7,950

Now let calculate the Variable overhead efficiency variance using this formula

Variable overhead efficiency variance = Actual labor hours - Standard labor hours) x hourly rate for standard variable overhead

Let plug in the formula

Variable overhead efficiency variance= ( 8,800-7,950) x 11.66

Variable overhead efficiency variance=850×11.66

Variable overhead efficiency variance= $9,911 Unfavorable

Therefore the variable overhead rate variance for the month is $9,911 Unfavorable
