(b)

Compute the total, controllable, and volume overhead variances.

Variable manufacturing overhead costs		$20,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead costs		$8,000
Normal production level in labor hours		8,000
Normal production level in units		4,000
Standard labor hours per unit		2

During the year, 3,800 units were produced, 15,800 hours were worked, and the actual manufacturing overhead was $28,400. Actual fixed manufacturing overhead costs equaled budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead costs. Overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor hours.
