SB $($Static$)$ The Platter Valley factory of Bybee Industries...

$[$The following information applies to the questions displayed below.$]$

The Platter Valley factory of Bybee Industries manufactures field boots. The cost of each boot includes direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing $($factory$)$ overhead. The firm traces all direct costs to products, and it assigns overhead cost to products based on direct labor hours.

The company budgeted $$15,000$ variable factory overhead cost, $$90,000$ for fixed factory overhead cost and $2,500$ direct labor hours $($its practical capacity$)$ to manufacture $5,000$ pairs of boots in March.

The factory used $2,700$ direct labor hours in March to manufacture $4,800$ pairs of boots and spent $$15,600$ on variable overhead during the month. The actual fixed overhead cost incurred for the month was $$92,000.$ Actual Hours, SH $=$ Standard Hours, and SP $=$ Standard Price$)$

Exercises $15-30($Static$)$ Fixed Factory Overhead Cost Variances; Journal Entries $[$LO $15-2,15-3]$

Required:

Compute the fixed overhead spending $($budget$)$ variance and the production volume variance for March and indicate whether each variance is favorable $($F$)$ or unfavorable $($U$).$

Compute the fixed overhead flexible$-$budget variance for March. Is this variance favorable $($F$)$ or unfavorable $($U$)?$

Provide the appropriate journal entry to record the fixed overhead spending variance and the appropriate journal entry to record the production volume variance for March. Assume that the company uses a single account, Factory Overhead, to record overhead costs.
