Overhead Variances, Two- And Three-Variance Analyses

Oerstman, Inc., uses a standard costing system and develops its overhead rates from the current annual budget. The budget is based on an expected annual output of 120,500 units requiring 482,000 direct labor hours. (Practical capacity is 502,000 hours.) Annual budgeted overhead costs total $742,280, of which $544,660 is fixed overhead. A total of 119,300 units using 480,000 direct labor hours were produced during the year. Actual variable overhead costs for the year were $240,700, and actual fixed overhead costs were $556,050.
