Answer:
Variable overhead rate variance = $2,870 favorable
Explanation:
Variable overhead rate variance is the difference between the standard cost allowed for variable production overhead and the actual variable cost incurred.
This computed as follows:
$
17,130 hours should have cost ( 17,130 ×7.20) 123336
but did cost <u>120,466</u>
Variable overhead rate variance <u> 2870
</u> Favorable
Variable overhead rate variance = $2,870
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "C": independent variable.
Explanation:
Independent variables are propositions in a study which effects help to analyze certain behavior of a dependent variable. The dependent variable does not change but the independent variables do. There may be more than one independent variable for only one dependent variable.
In the case, <em>the dependent variable is the change in sales at GO designs while the independent variable is the price increase.</em>
Answer:
$4,089 Unfavorable
Explanation:
Data provided
Standard variable rate = $9.20
Direct labor hours = 1,160
Variable manufacturing overhead costs = $14,761
The computation of variable overhead rate variance is shown below:-
Variable overhead rate variance = (Standard variable rate - (Variable manufacturing overhead costs ÷ Direct labor hours)) × Direct labor hours
= ($9.20 - ($14,761 ÷ 1,160) × 1,160
= ($9.20 - $12.725) × 1160
= $4,089 Unfavorable
Therefore for computing the variable overhead rate variance we simply applied the above formula.
