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:
|
Direct materials (6.0 lbs. @ $5.00)
|
$30.00
|
|
Direct labor (1.6 hrs. @ $12.00)
|
19.20
|
|
Variable overhead (1.6 hrs. @ $10.00)
|
16.00
|
|
Fixed overhead (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.
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. Compute the fixed overhead spending and volume variances. Interpret the volume variance. What can be done to reduce this variance?
