Last month, Beverly incurred 1,600 actual direct labor hours in the production of 3,300 units. The company has also determined that its actual variable overhead rate is $2.40 per direct labor hour. Calculate the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances as well as the total amount of over- or underapplied variable overhead.

$8,700

Explanation:

Variable Overhead Rate Variance = Actual Hours *(Actual Rate - Standard Rate) =

Variable Overhead Rate Variance = 1,600 * ($2.40 - $3.80)

Variable Overhead Rate Variance = 1,600 * $1.40 F

Variable Overhead Rate Variance = $2240 F

Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = Standard Rate*(Actual Hours - Standard Hours) =

Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = $3.80*(1,600 - 0.50*3,300)

Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = $3.80* 50 F

Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = $190 F

Over- or Underapplied Variable Overhead = Actual Overhead Incurred - Overhead Applied

Over- or Underapplied Variable Overhead = 1600*$2.40 - 3,300*$3.80

Over- or Underapplied Variable Overhead = $3840 - $12540

Overapplied Variable Overhead = $8,700
