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 $$10,080$ variable factory overhead cost, $$93,600$ for fixed factory overhead cost and $2,400$ direct

labor hours $($its practical capacity$)$ to manufacture $4,800$ pairs of boots in March.

The factory used $4,500$ direct labor hours in March to manufacture $4,600$ pairs of boots and spent $$17,600$ on variable

overhead during the month. The actual fixed overhead cost incurred for the month was $$97,400.$

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.
