Patel and Sons, Inc., uses a standard cost system to apply overhead costs to units produced. Practical capacity for the plant is defined as 50,000 machine hours per year, which represents 25,000 units of output. Annual budgeted fixed overhead costs are $250,000 and the budgeted variable overhead cost is $4 per unit. Factory overhead costs are applied on the basis of standard machine-hours allowed for units produced. Budgeted and actual output for the year was 20,000 units, which took 41,000 machine hours. Actual fixed overhead costs for the year amounted to $245,000 while the actual vari- able overhead cost per unit was $3.90. What was (a) the fixed overhead spending (budget) variance for the year, and (b) the overhead production-volume variance for the year?
1. Refer to the data above. Given this information, what was (a) the variable overhead spending variance for the year, and (b) the variable overhead efficiency variance for the year?
2. Refer to the data above. Provide the correct summary journal entries for actual and applied over- head costs (both variable and fixed) for the year. Assume that the company uses a single account, Factory Overhead, to record both actual and applied overhead. Also, assume that the only variable overhead cost was electricity and that actual fixed overhead consisted of depreciation of $150,000 and supervisory salaries of $95,000.
