Assignment
Wymont Company produces a single product that requires a large amount of labor time. Overhead cost is applied on the basis of standard direct labor-hours. Variable manufacturing overhead should be $2.00 per standard direct labor-hour and fixed manufacturing overhead should be $180,000 per year.
The company's product requires 4 feet of direct material that has a standard cost of $3.00 per foot. The product requires 1.5 hours of direct labor time. The standard labor rate is $12.00 per hour.
During the year, the company had planned to operate at a denominator activity level of 30,000 direct labor-hours and to produce 20,000 units of product. Actual activity and costs for the year were as follows:

Actual direct labor-hours worked 35,000
Actual variable manufacturing overhead cost incurred $ 63,000
Actual fixed manufacturing overhead cost incurred $ 181,000
Required:

4. Determine the reason for the underapplied or overapplied overhead from above by computing the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances and the fixed overhead budget and volume variances.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
