Ana Carillo and Associates is a medium-sized company located near a large metropolitan area in the Midwest. The company manufactures cabinets of mahogany, oak, and other fine woods for use in expensive homes, restaurants, and hotels. Although some of the work is custom, many of the cabinets are a standard size. One such non-custom model is called Luxury Base Frame. Normal production is 940 units. Each unit has a direct labor hour standard of 5 hours. Overhead is applied to production based on standard direct labor hours. During the most recent month, only 850 units were produced; 4,200 direct labor hours were allowed for standard production, but only 3,800 hours were used. Standard and actual overhead costs were as follows.

(a) Determine the overhead application rate. THE ANSWER IS NOT 28.90 (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.75.)

(b) Determine how much overhead was applied to production.

(c) Calculate the total overhead variance, controllable variance, and volume variance.
