Exercise 23-17 Computing total variable and fixed overhead variances P4 Sedona Company set the following standard costs for one unit of its product for this year. Direct material (20 lbs. @ $2.50 per lb.). $50 Direct labor (10 hrs. @ $22.00 per hr.).. Variable overhead (10 hrs. a $4.00 per hr.) Fixed overhead (10 hrs. @ $1.60 per hr.). Total standard cost $326 220 40 16 The $5.60 ($4.00 + $1.60) total overhead rate per direct labor hour is based on an expected operating level equal to 75% of the factory's capacity of 50,000 units per month. The following monthly flexible budget information is also available. Operating Levels (% of capacity) 70% 75% 35.000 37,500 350,000 375,000 80% 40,000 400.000 Flexible Budget Budgeted output (units) Budgeted labor (standard hours) Budgeted overhead (dollars) Variable overhead Fixed overhead Total overhead $1,400,000 600,000 $2,000,000 $1,500,000 600,000 $2.100,000 $1,600,000 600,000 $2,200,000 During the current month, the company operated at 70% of capacity, employees worked 340,000 hours, and the following actual overhead costs were incurred.
