Question

Tannin Products Inc. prepared the following factory overhead cost budget for the Trim Department for July of the current year, during which it expected to use 20,000 hours for production: Variable overhead cost: Indirect factory labor $46,000 Power and light 12,000 Indirect materials 20,000 Total variable overhead cost $78,000 Fixed overhead cost: Supervisory salaries $54,500 Depreciation of plant and equipment 40,000 Insurance and property taxes 35,500 Total fixed overhead cost 130,000 Total factory overhead cost $208,000 Tannin has available 25,000 hours of monthly productive capacity in the Trim Department under normal business conditions. During July, the Trim Department actually used 22,000 hours for production. The actual fixed costs were as budgeted. The actual variable overhead for July was as follows: Actual variable factory overhead cost: Indirect factory labor $49,700 Power and light 13,000 Indirect materials 24,000 Total variable cost $86,700 Construct a factory overhead cost variance report for the Trim Department for July. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank. Round your interim computations to the nearest cent, if required.

Workings

To calculate budgeted variable factory overhead cost

Indirect factory labour =46,000 / 20,000 hrs × 22,000 hrs

= $50,600

Power and light= 12,000/ 20,000 hrs × 22,000 hrs

=$13,200

Indirect materials = 20,000 / 20,000 × 22,000 hrs

= $22,000

To calculate fixed factory overhead rate

= $130,000/ 25,000hrs

= $5.20 per hour

To calculate favourable variance

50,600 - 49,700= ($900)

13,200 - 13,000 =($200)

To calculate Total controllable variance

(900 + 200) = ($1,100)

To calculate Net controllable variance unfavourable

2000 - 1,100 = 900

To calculate volume variance unfavourable

(25,000hrs - 22,000hrs ) × $5.20

= $15,600

To calculate Total Factory Overhead cost variance unfavourable

900 + 15,600

= $16,500
