Janson, Inc., uses a standard costing system. The predetermined overhead rates are calculated using practical capacity. Practical capacity for a year is defined as 100,000 units requiring 20,000 standard direct labor hours. Budgeted overhead for the year is $76,000, of which $30,000 is fixed overhead. During the year, 96,000 units were produced using 19,000 direct labor hours. Actual annual overhead costs totaled $80,000, of which $29,600 is fixed overhead.

Feedback Area

Feedback

1. The formula for computing the fixed overhead variances are as follows (AFOH = Actual fixed overhead and BFOH = Budgeted fixed overhead): Fixed OH spending variance = AFOH -BFOH, and the volume variance = Budgeted fixed OH – Applied fixed OH.

2. Variable overhead spending variance = (Actual variable OH rate (AVOR) – (SVOR) Standard variable OH rate) x AH. Variable overhead efficiency variance = (AH – SH) x SVOR.

Question Content Area

3. Prepare the journal entries that reflect the following:

1. Assignment of overhead to production
2. Recognition of the incurrence of actual overhead
3. Recognition of overhead variances
4. Closing out overhead variances, assuming they are not material

Note: Close the variances with a debit balance first. For compound entries, if an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.
