Requirements 1. Compute the variable manufacturing overhead variances. What do each of these variances tell management? 2. Compute the fixed manufacturing overhead variances. What do each of these variances tell management? Requirement 1. Compute the variable manufacturing overhead variances. What do each of these variances tell management? (Enter the variances as positive numbers. Enter the currency amounts in the formulas to the nearest cent, then round the final variance amounts to the nearest whole dollar. Label the variance as favorable (F) or unfavorable (U).) Begin by computing the variable manufacturing overhead rate variance. First determine the formula for the rate variance, then compute the rate variance for variable manufacturing overhead. x ( Variable overhead rate variance 3 = Actual Results Standard Price and Volume Direct materials (resin).
