$11,550 $14,904
Labour hours worked 5,775 8,280
What is the variable production overhead expenditure variance?
A. $1,656 (F)
B. $2,484 (F)
C. $2,484 (A)
D. $3.354 (A)
Variable production overhead expenditure variance = Actual variable overhead cost - Budgeted
variable overhead cost
Actual variable overhead cost = Actual labour hours worked × Variable overhead cost per labour
hour
= 8,280 × ($14,904 / 5,775)
= $21,504
Budgeted variable overhead cost = Budgeted labour hours worked × Variable overhead cost per
labour hour
= 5,775 × ($11,550 / 5,775)
= $11,55
Variable production overhead expenditure variance = Actual variable overhead cost - Budgeted
variable overhead cost
= $21,504 - $11,550
= $9,954 (Favourable)
Therefore, the variable production overhead expenditure variance is $9,954 (Favourable), and the

Total direct labour variance = Actual direct labour cost - Flexed budget direct labour cost
Total direct labour variance = $280,000 - $260,000 = $20,000 Adverse
Therefore, the correct answer is option B, $20,000 Adverse.
2000x130-280000=2000A

Direct materials 110,000 110,000
Direct labour 286,000 280,000
Variable overhead 132,000 120,000
The actual number of units produced was 2,000.
What was the total direct variable overheads variance?
A Nil
B. $12.000 Favourable
C. $12,000 Adverse
D $11,000 Adverse
Spending variance = Actual variable overhead cost - Budgeted variable overhead cost
= $120,000 - $132,000
= $12,000 (Favourable)
Efficiency variance = Budgeted variable overhead cost per unit × (Actual units produced -
Budgeted units produced)
= ($132,000 / 2,200 units) × (2,000 units - 2,200 units)
= ($60 per unit) × (-200 units)
= $12,000 (Adverse)
Total direct variable overhead variance = Spending variance + Efficiency variance
= $12,000 (Favourable) + $12,000 (Adverse)

Therefore, the correct answer is: A. Nil

What was the total direct labour variance?! A. $6,000 Favourable B. $20,000 Adverse C. $22,000 Favourable D. Nil
=> Budgeted labour cost per unit = $286,000/2,200 units = $130 per unit
Flexed budget direct labour cost for 2,000 units = $130 per unit x 2,000 units = $260,000
Actual direct labour cost for 2,000 units = $280,000
Total direct labour variance = Actual direct labour cost - Flexed budget direct labour cost
Total direct labour variance = $280,000 - $260,000 = $20,000 Adverse
Therefore, the correct answer is option B, $20,000 Adverse. 2000x130-280000=2000A 74. Number of units produced 2.200 2,000 Budget Actual $ $ Direct materials 110,000 110,000 Direct labour 286,000 280,000 Variable overhead 132,000 120,000
The actual number of units produced was 2,000.
What was the total direct variable overheads variance? A Nil B. $12.000 Favourable C. $12,000 Adverse D $11,000 Adverse
Spending variance = Actual variable overhead cost - Budgeted variable overhead cost = $120,000 - $132,000 = $12,000 (Favourable)
Efficiency variance = Budgeted variable overhead cost per unit × (Actual units produced - Budgeted units produced)
= ($132,000 / 2,200 units) × (2,000 units - 2,200 units)
= ($60 per unit) × (-200 units) = $12,000 (Adverse)
Total direct variable overhead variance = Spending variance + Efficiency variance
= $12,000 (Favourable) + $12,000 (Adverse) = $0
Therefore, the correct answer is: A. Nil 2000x(132000:2200)-120000
75. Which of the following situations is most likely to result in a favourable selling price variance?
A. The sales director decided to change from the planned policy of market skimming pricing to
one of market penetration pricing.
B. Fewer customers than expected took advantage of the early payment discounts offered.
C Competitors charged lower prices than expected, therefore selling prices had to be reduced in order to compete effectively.
D. Demand for the product higher than expected and prices could be raised without
adverse effects on sales volumes.
