Actual output 4,100 units Raw materials used in production 12,470 grams Actual direct labor-hours 2,280 hours Purchases of raw materials 13,200 grams Actual price of raw materials purchased $ 2.30 per gram Actual direct labor rate $ 12.50 per hour Actual variable overhead rate $ 3.20 per hour The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. The variable overhead efficiency variance for July is:

Answer 1

Answer:

Variable overhead efficiency variance= $558 favorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Variable overhead 0.60 hours $ 3.10 per hour

Actual output 4,100 units

Actual direct labor-hours 2,280 hours

To calculate the variable overhead efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:

Variable overhead efficiency variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*Standard rate

Variable overhead efficiency variance= (0.6*4,100 - 2,280)*3.10

Variable overhead efficiency variance= $558 favorable
