Skip to question

[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Antuan Company set the following standard costs per unit for its product.

Direct materials (4.0 pounds @ $6.00 per pound)	$ 24.00
Direct labor (2.0 hours @ $12.00 per hour)	24.00
Overhead (2.0 hours @ $18.50 per hour)	37.00
Standard cost per unit	$ 85.00

The standard overhead rate ($18.50 per direct labor hour) is based on a predicted activity level of 75% of the factorys capacity of 20,000 units per month. Following are the companys budgeted overhead costs per month at the 75% capacity level.

Overhead Budget (75% Capacity)
Variable overhead costs
Indirect materials	$ 30,000
Indirect labor	75,000
Power	30,000
Maintenance	30,000
Total variable overhead costs	165,000
Fixed overhead costs
DepreciationBuilding	24,000
DepreciationMachinery	72,000
Taxes and insurance	18,000
Supervisory salaries	276,000
Total fixed overhead costs	390,000
Total overhead costs	$ 555,000

The company incurred the following actual costs when it operated at 75% of capacity in October.

Direct materials (60,500 pounds @ $6.10 per pound)		$ 369,050
Direct labor (21,000 hours @ $12.20 per hour)		256,200
Overhead costs
Indirect materials	$ 41,850
Indirect labor	176,500
Power	34,500
Maintenance	34,500
DepreciationBuilding	24,000
DepreciationMachinery	97,200
Taxes and insurance	16,200
Supervisory salaries	276,000	700,750
Total costs		$ 1,326,000

Required: 1. Prepare flexible overhead budgets for October showing amounts of each variable and fixed cost at the 65%,75%, and 85% capacity levels. 3. Compute the direct labor variance, including its rate and efficiency variances. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting favorable, unfavorable, or no variance. Round "Rate per hour" answers to two decimal places.)
