Use the following information for questions 5 11: Company ABC manufactures radios and uses direct labor hours (DLH) as its allocation base. The following information relates to the company's manufacturing overhead data for 2021: Budgeted output 33,200 radios Budgeted direct labor hours per radio 3.25 DLH per radio Budgeted variable overhead rate per DLH $8.60 per DLH Budgeted fixed overhead rate per DLH $14.50 per DLH Actual output 34,700 radios Actual direct labor hours used 91,955 DLH Actual variable overhead cost $919,550 Actual fixed overhead cost $1,655,190 5. Calculate the flexible-budget variance for fixed overhead for 2021. 6. Calculate the spending variance for fixed overhead for 2021. 7. Calculate the production-volume variance for fixed overhead for 2021. 8. Calculate the flexible-budget variance for variable overhead for 2021. 9.
