Newark Plastics Corporation developed its overhead application rate from the annual budget. The budget is based on an expected total output of 636,000 units requiring 3,180,000 machine hours. The company is able to schedule production uniformly throughout the year. Machine hours is the cost driver for overhead costs. A total of 58,000 units requiring 270,300 machine hours were produced during May. Actual overhead costs for May amounted to $782,600. The actual costs, as compared to the annual budget and to one-twelfth of the annual budget, are as follows: NEWARK PLASTICS CORPORATION Annual Budget Per Machine Total Amount Per Unit Hour Actual Costs for Monthly Budget May $2,289,600 1,653,600 $ 3.60 2.60 $0.72 0.52 $190,800 137,800 $208,800 137,800 Variable overhead: Indirect material Indirect labor Fixed overhead: Supervision Utilities Depreciation Total 1,462,800 1,399,200 2,226,000 $9,031,200 2.30 2.20 3.50 $14.20 0.46 0.44 0.70 $2.84 121,900 116,600 185,500 $752,600 1 15,900 134,600 185,500 $782,600 Required: 1. Prepare a schedule showing the following amounts for Newark Plastics for May. a. Applied overhead costs. b. Variable-overhead spending variance. c. Fixed-overhead budget variance. d. Variable-overhead efficiency variance. e. Fixed-overhead volume variance. Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Req 1A Req 1B and D Req 1C and E Applied overhead costs. Applied overhead costs Req 1A Req 1B and D > Req 1A Req 1B and D Req 1C and E Variable-overhead Spending Variance and Efficiency Variance. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "Favorable" or "Unfavorable". Select "None" and enter "0" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "Projected Overhead" and "Flexible Budget" to 2 decimal places.)
