ACME manufacturing is a low-cost producer of a single, commodity product: RGL-01. Standard overhead cost information for one unit of this product is presented below:

Standard number of machine hours per unit produced		0.5
Standard variable overhead rate per machine hour	$	30.00
Budgeted fixed overhead (for the year)	$	580,000
Practical capacity, in units (annual basis)		10,000
Budgeted output for the coming year, in units		8,000
Normal capacity, in units (per year)		9,000
Actual production for the year (in units)		9,200
Actual overhead costs incurred during the year:
Fixed overhead	$	556,800
Variable overhead	$	148,200
Actual number of machine hours per unit for work done this period		0.49

Required:

1. Calculate the fixed overhead application rate per machine hour using (a) budgeted output, (b) normal capacity, and (c) practical capacity. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

2. What is the total overhead application rate per machine hour for each of the three choices identified in requirement 1? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

3. What is the total overhead variance for the year when the overhead application rate per machine hour is determined under each of the following options: (a) budgeted output, (b) normal capacity, and (c) practical capacity? Indicate whether each variance is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

4. What is causing the results you observe in requirement 3?

5. What is the Overhead Efficiency Variance (= Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance) for the year when the overhead application rate per machine hour is determined under each of the following options: (a) budgeted output, (b) normal capacity, and (c) practical capacity? Indicate whether each variance is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U).

6. Provide an interpretation of the results reported in requirement 5.

7. What is the total Overhead Spending Variance for the year under each of the following assumptions regarding the denominator activity level used to set the overhead application rate for the year:

a) budgeted output, (b) normal capacity, and (c) practical capacity? State whether each variance is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U).

8. Break down the Total Overhead Spending Variance (as determined in requirement 7) into: (a) a Fixed Overhead Spending Variance, and

(b) a Variable Overhead Spending Variance. State whether each variance is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U).

9. Provide an interpretation of the results reported in requirements 7 and 8
