Calgary Paper Company produces paper for photocopiers. The company has developed standard overhead rates based on a monthly capacity of 91,000 direct-labor hours as follows: Standard costs per unit (one box of paper): Variable overhead (3 direct-labor hours @ $5) Fixed overhead (3 direct-labor hours @ $10) $15 30 Total $ 45 During April, 36,000 units were scheduled for production: however, only 30,000 units were actually produced. The following data relate to April. 1. Actual direct-labor cost incurred was $2,024,000 for 92,000 actual hours of work. 2. Actual overhead incurred totaled $1,402,000, of which $552,000 was variable and $850,000 was fixed. Required: Prepare two exhibits similar to Exhibit 11-6 and Exhibit 11-8, which show the following variances. State whether each variance is favorable or unfavorable, where appropriate. 1. Variable-overhead spending variance. 2. Variable-overhead efficiency variance. 3. Fixed-overhead budget variance. 4. Fixed-overhead volume variance.
