Factory Overhead Variance Corrections

The data related to Shunda Enterprises Inc.’s factory overhead cost for the production of 20,000 units of product are as follows:

Actual: Variable factory overhead $86,100
  Fixed factory overhead 62,100
Standard: 30,000 hrs. at $5 ($2.90 for variable factory overhead) 150,000

 

Productive capacity at 100% of normal was 29,200 hours, and the factory overhead cost budgeted at the level of 30,000 standard hours was $149,100. Based on these data, the chief cost accountant prepared the following variance analysis:

Variable factory overhead controllable variance:      
Actual variable factory overhead cost incurred $86,100    
Budgeted variable factory overhead for 30,000 hours 87,000  
   Variance—favorable     $(900)
Fixed factory overhead volume variance:    
Normal productive capacity at 100% 29,200 hrs.  
Standard for amount produced 30,000    
Productive capacity not used 800 hrs.  
Standard variable factory overhead rate x $5    
   Variance—unfavorable     4,000
Total factory overhead cost variance—unfavorable     $3,100

Compute the following to assist you in identifying the errors in the factory overhead cost variance analysis. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number. Round your interim computations to the nearest cent, if required.

Variance Amount Favorable/Unfavorable
Variable Factory Overhead Controllable Variance $ Favorable 
Fixed Factory Overhead Volume Variance $ Favorable 
Total Factory Overhead Cost Variance $ Favorable
