The following manufacturing-overhead costs are anticipated for the next year. The predetermined overhead rate is based on a production volume of 495,000 units for each type of box. Manufacturing overhead is applied on the basis of direct-labor hours.
Indirect material 10,500
Indirect labor 50,000
Utilities 25,000
Property taxes 18,000
Insurance 16,000
Depreciation 29,000
Total $148,500

Problem 2 - Straightforward Computation of Overhead Variances
The following data are the actual results for Marvelous Marshmallow Company for October.
Actual output 9,000 cases
Actual variable overhead $405,000
Actual fixed overhead $122,000
Actual machine time 40,500 machine hours
Standard cost and budget information for Marvelous Marshmallow Company follows:
Standard variable-overhead rate $9.00 per machine hour
Standard quantity of machine hours 4 hours per case of marshmallows
Budgeted fixed overhead $120,000 per month
Budgeted output 10,000 cases per month
Required:
1. Use any of the methods explained in the chapter to compute the following variances. Indicate whether each variance is favorable or unfavorable, where appropriate.
a. Variable-overhead spending variance.
b. Variable-overhead efficiency variance.
c. Fixed-overhead budget variance.
d. Fixed-overhead volume variance.
2. Build a spreadsheet: Construct an Excel spreadsheet to solve the preceding requirement. Show how the solution will change if the following information changes: actual output was 9,100 cases, and actual variable overhead was $395,000.
