Before information shows is the correct and complete question.

The Lopez Company use a standard costing in its manufacturing plant for the auto part. The standard cost of particular auto part based on a denominator level of a 4.000 output unit per year. included 6 machine-hours of variable manufacturing overhead at $8 per hour and 6 machine-hours of fixed manufacturing overhead at $15 per hour.

Actual output produced was 4.400 units.

Variable manufacturing overhead incurred was $245.000.

Fixed manufacturing overhead incurred was $373.000.

Actual machine-hours were 28.400.

Prepare the analysis of all variable manufacturing overhead and fixed manufacturing overhead variances.

Additional diagram attached to this question is displayed in the first image below.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By using a columnar method, the analysis of all the variance & fixed manufacturing overhead varaince can be computed as follows:

Variable manufacturing overhead analysis:

Actual cost Incurred: ║ Actual input × Budgeted ║ Allocated: Budgeted

Actual input × Actual rate Input for actual output

rate × Budgeted rate

245000 28400×$8.00 = 227200 (4400×6hrs×$8)

= 211,200

17800 U 16800 U

Spending Variance Efficiency Variance

33800 U

Flexible Budget Variance

Hence;

The spending Variance = $17,800 U

Efficiency Variance = $16,000 U

Flexible Budget Varaince = $33800 U

where; F = Favourable & U = Unfavourable

For the fixed Manufacturing Overhead:

Actual cost Incurred: ║ Flexible Budget Lump ║ Allocated: Budgeted

Actual input × Actual sum regardless of the Input for actual output

rate output level × Budgeted rate

373000 4000×6hrs×15 = 360000 (4400×6hrs×$15)

= 396000

13000 U 36000 F

Spending Variance/ Production-Volume

Flexible budgeted variance Variance

23000 F

Over allocated fixed

Overhead

Hence;

The spending Variance = $13000 U

The production Volume Variance = $36,000 F

Over allocated fixed overhead = $23000 F

where; F = Favourable & U = Unfavourable

NOTE: To have a better view of the above computation in a table format, refer to the second and the third diagram in the image below.
