As an initial step, you prepare a summary of some events that bear on overhead for the most recent period. Variable overhead is applied based on hours of processing-clerk labor. The standard variable-overhead rate per order was $.06. The rate of 10 orders per hour is regarded as standard productivity per clerk. The total overhead incurred was $204,000, of which $138,000 was fixed. The fixed-overhead spending variance was $2,500 unfavorable. The variable-overhead flexible-budget variance was $6,000 unfavorable. The variable-overhead spending variance was $3,600 favorable.
