Please help me on this homwwork

Costello Corporation manufactures a single product. The standard cost per unit of product is shown below. The predetermined manufacturing overhead rate is $14 per direct labor hour ($7.00 + 0.50). It was computed from a master manufacturing overhead budget based on normal production of 2,600 direct labor hours (5,200 units) for the month. The master budget showed total variable costs of $14,300 ($5.50 per hour) and total fixed overhead costs of $22,100 ($8.50 per hour). Actual costs for October in producing 4,700 units were as follows. The purchasing department buys the quantities of raw materials that are expected to be used in production each month. Raw materials inventories, therefore, can be ignored. Compute the overhead controllable variance and the overhead volume variance.

Explanation / Answer

Overhead controllable variance = Actual Overhead - Budgeted Allowance Based on Standard Hour allowed

Overhead controllable variance = Actual Overhead - ( Budgeted Fixed Overhead + Standard Variable overhead)

Overhead controllable variance = (119680+42550) - (16/2* 11600 + 16*5000)

Overhead controllable variance = $ 10570 Favorable

Overhead volume variance = Budgeted Allowance Based on Standard Hour allowed - Standard Overhead

Overhead volume variance = (16/2* 11600 + 16*5000) - (16*5000*2)

Overhead volume variance = 12800 Unfavorable
