Fixed manufacturing overhead ($32,640 for static budget volume of 96,000 units and 1,920 units and 1,920 hours, or $17 per hour)
Direct materials (265,000 parts were purchased at $0.22 per part, 215,000 parts were used)
Direct labor (1,700 hours at $9.10 per hour=$15,652)
Manufacturing overhead $60,500 (30% was fixed)
a) Determine the eight variances
1.Materials: VP=(AP-SP)AQ-(actual price-standard price)*actual quantity
VQ=(AQ-SQ)*SP
2.Direct labor: VP=(AP-SP)*AQ and VQ=(AQ-SQ)*SP
3.Variable overhead: VP=(AP-SP)*AQ and VQ=(AQ-SQ)*SP
4.Fixed overhead: SPENDING VARIANCE= actual fixed overhead incurred- fixed factory overhead budgeting
PRODUCTION VOLUME VARIANCE = fixed factory overhead budgeting - standard fixed overhead applied
b) Comment on the variances
