Jay Levitt Company produces one product, a putter called GO-Putter. Levitt uses a standard cost system and determines that it should take one hour of direct labor to produce one GO-Putter. The normal production capacity for this putter is 101,000 units per year. The total budgeted overhead at normal capacity is $856,000 comprised of $214,000 of variable costs and $642,000 of fixed costs. Levitt applies overhead on the basis of direct labor hours. During the current year, Levitt produced 90,600 putters, worked 94,930 direct labor hours, and incurred variable overhead costs of $216,600 and fixed overhead costs of $704,200.
Compute the predetermined variable overhead rate and the predetermined fixed overhead rate. (Round answers to 3 decimal places, e.g. 2.250.)

  • Overhead Variances

    Variable overhead spending variance = actual variable overhead costs - (standard variable rate x actual hours of machine used) Here Actual variable overhead = 1,690,000 Standard variable rate = $2 per machine hour Actual machine hours = 764,000 Variable

  • Flexible budget analysis (Variance Report)

    Standard machine hours per unit of output 4 hours Standard variable overhead rate per machine hour $8 Actual variable overhead rate per machine hour $9 Actual machine hours per unit of output 3 hours Budgeted fixed overhead $50,000 Actual fixed overhead

  • Variances: Variable and Fixed

    applied Fixed overhead applied = Standard hours allowed * Predetermined fixed overhead rate Predetermined fixed overhead rate = Budgeted fixed overhead/Planned activity in hours Predetermined fixed overhead rate = $300,000/(25,000 * 2) = $6/direct

  • Budgeted fixed overheads

    overhead recovery rate = $22-$14 =$8 Budgeted fixed cost = Fixed overhead recovery rate * Budgeted Machine Hours =15200*8 =121600 The actual overhead incurred = Variable overhead recovery rate * Actual Machine Hours + Budgeted fixed cost + Spending

  • Variance calculations

    = actual overhead costs - (standard rate x actual hours of labor used) Actual variable overhead cost = 15,500 Standard rate for variable overhead = 14,000/5,000 = $2.80 per direct labor hour Variable overhead spending variance = 15,500 - (2.80 X 6,200

  • Variances - Overhead Fixed & Variable

    $415,000 Variable overhead rate per direct-labor hour $18 Actual variable overhead $790,000 Standard direct�labor hours allowed per unit produced 1.0 hour Standard direct�labor rate per hour $32.00

  • Over or under-absorbed overhead

    Predetermined Fixed Overhead rate = Expected overhead cost/machine hour Predetermined Variable Overhead rate = Expected overhead cost/labor hour Predetermined Fixed Overhead rate = 600,000/6000 = $100 per machine hour.

  • Crystal Glassware Company: Variances

    Fixed-overhead volume variance. (1) Variable overhead spending variance = actual variable overhead costs - (standard variable-overhead rate * actual hours of labor used) = $320,000 - $6.00 per direct-labor hour * 50,000 hours = $20,000, which is unfavorable
