Problem 11-55 Overhead Variance Analysis
The Lubbock plant of Morril’s Small Motor Division produces a major subassembly for a 6.0 horsepower motor for lawn mowers. The plant uses a standard costing system for production costing and control. The standard cost sheet for the subassembly follows:
Â
|
Direct materials (6.0 lbs. @ $5.00) |
$30.00 |
|
Direct labor (1.6 hrs. @ $12.00) |
19.20 |
|
VOH (1.6 hrs. @ $10.00) |
16.00 |
|
FOH (1.6 hrs. @ $6.00) |
9.60 |
|
Standard unit cost |
$74.80 |
During the year, the Lubbock plant had the following actual production activity: (a) Production of motors totaled 50,000 units; (b) The company used 82,000 direct labor hours at a total cost  of
$1,066,000; (c) Actual fixed overhead totaled $556,000; and (d) Actual variable overhead totaled
$860,000.
The Lubbock plant’s practical activity is 60,000 units per year. Standard overhead rates are computed based on practical activity measured in standard direct labor  hours.

Required:
1.      Compute the variable overhead spending and efficiency variances.
2.      CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Compute the fixed overhead spending and volume varian- ces. Interpret the volume variance. What can be done to reduce this variance?
