Alden Company uses a three$-$variance analysis for factory overhead variances. Practical capacity is defined as $34$ setups and $34,000$

machine hours to manufacture $8,500$ units for the year. Selected data for $2022$ follow:

Required:

Compute $($a$)$ the total overhead spending variance, $($b$)$ the overhead efficiency variance, and $($c$)$ the total overhead flexible budget

variance for $2022.$ Label each variance as favorable $($F$)$ or unfavorable $($U$).$

Assume that the company includes all setup costs as variable factory overhead. The budgeted total fixed overhead, therefore, is

$$186,000,$ and the standard variable overhead rate per setup is $$2,900.$ What are $($a$)$ the total overhead spending variance, $($b$)$ the

overhead efficiency variance, and $($c$)$ the total overhead flexible budget variance for the year? Label each variance as favorable $($F$)$ or

unfavorable $($U$).$

Assume that the company uses only machine hours as the activity measure to apply both variable and fixed overhead, and that it

includes all setup costs as variable factory overhead. What are $($a$)$ the Total Overhead Spending Variance, $($b$)$ the Overhead Efficiency

Variance, and $($c$)$ the total Overhead Flexible Budget Variance for the year? Indicate whether each variance is favorable $($F$)$ or

unfavorable $($U$).$ Compute $($a$)$ the total overhead spending variance, $($b$)$ the overhead efficiency variance, and $($c$)$ the total overhead flexible

budget variance for $2022.$ Label each variance as favorable $($F$)$ or unfavorable $($U$).$ Required $1$

Required $2$

Required $3$

Assume that the company includes all setup costs as variable factory overhead. The budgeted total fixed overhead, therefore,

is $$186,000,$ and the standard variable overhead rate per setup is $$2,900.$ What are $($a$)$ the total overhead spending variance,

$($b$)$ the overhead efficiency variance, and $($c$)$ the total overhead flexible budget variance for the year? Label each variance as

favorable $(F)$ or unfavorable $($U$).$

$($c$)$ Flexible$-$budget variance Assume that the company uses only machine hours as the activity measure to apply both variable and fixed overhead, and

that it includes all setup costs as variable factory overhead. What are $($a$)$ the Total Overhead Spending Variance, $($b$)$ the

Overhead Efficiency Variance, and $($c$)$ the total Overhead Flexible Budget Variance for the year? Indicate whether each

variance is favorable $($F$)$ or unfavorable $($U$).$
