Primara Corporation has a standard cost system in which it applies overhead to products based on the standard direct labor-hours allowed for the actual output of the period. Data concerning the most recent year appear below: Total budgeted fixed overhead cost for the year $ 250,000 Actual fixed overhead cost for the year $ 254,000 Budgeted direct labor-hours (denominator level of activity) 25,000 Actual direct labor-hours 27,000 Standard direct labor-hours allowed for the actual output 26,000 Required: 1. Compute the fixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate for the year. (Round Fixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate to 2 decimal places.) 2. Compute the fixed overhead budget variance and volume variance. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i. e., zero variance.). Input all amounts as positive values.)

1. The fixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate for the year is $10,000 per direct labor hour.

2. The fixed overhead budget variance is $4,000 unfavourable and the fixed overhead volume variance is $10,000 favourable.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the the fixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate for the year we would have to use the following formula:

predetermined overhead rate for the year=Total fixed overhead cost year

                                                                          Budgeted direct labor-hours

                                                                     =$ 250,000/25,000

                                                                      =$10,000

1. The fixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate for the year is $10,000 per direct labor hour.

In order to calculate the fixed overhead budget variance, we use the following formula:

2. fixed overhead budget variance=Actual fixed overhead cost for the year- budgeted fixed overhead cost for the year

                                                     =$ 254,000-$ 250,000

                                                     =$4,000 unfavourable

In order to calculate the fixed overhead volume variance, we use the following formula:

fixed overhead volume variance=budgeted fixed overhead cost for the year-fixed overhead appliead to work in process

                                                     =$ 250,000-(26,000×10)

                                                     =$10,000 favourable
