Simpson Manufacturing has the following standard cost sheet for one of its products: Direct materials Direct labor Variable factory overhead Fixed factory overhead Cost per unit 5 pounds at $2 per pound 2 hours at $25 per hour 2 hours at $5 per hour 2 hours at $20 per hour Total $ 10 50 10 40 $110 The company uses a standard cost system and applies factory overhead cost based on direct labor hours and determines the factory overhead rate based on a practical capacity of 400 units of the product. Simpson has the following actual operating results for the year just completed: Units manufactured Direct materials purchased and used Direct labor incurred Variable factory overhead incurred Fixed factory overhead incurred 382 1,910 pounds 860 hours $21,010 23, 220 5,504 15,800 Before closing the periodic accounts, the (standard cost) entries in selected accounts follow: Account Work-in-process inventory Finished goods inventory Cost of goods sold Debit (total) $186,000 145,640 122,690 Credit (total) $145,640 122,690 3. Compute the following factory overhead cost variances using three-variance analysis: a. Overhead spending variance. b. Overhead efficiency variance. c. Fixed overhead production volume variance. 4. Compute the total overhead flexible-budget variance and the fixed overhead production volume variance using a two-variance analysis. 5. Using a single overhead account (e.g., Factory Overhead), make proper journal entries for: a. Incurrence of factory overhead costs. b. Application of factory overhead costs to production. c. Identification of overhead variances assuming that the firm uses the four-variance analysis identified in requirement 2. d. Close all factory overhead cost items and their variances of the period if: (1) The firm closes all variances to the Cost of Goods Sold account. (2) The firm prorates variances to the inventory accounts and the Cost of Goods Sold account.
