Mini-Exercise 15-4(Algo) Direct labor variances LO 15-4,15-5
Acme Company's production budget for August is 18,500 units and includes the following component unit costs: direct materials, $8.10; direct labor, $11.00; variable overhead, $5.00. Budgeted fixed overhead is $42,000. Actual production in August was 20,250 units. Actual unit component costs incurred during August include direct materials, $9.20; direct labor, $10.40; variable overhead, $5.50. Actual fixed overhead was $44,500. The standard direct labor cost per unit consists of 0.5 hpur of labor time at $22 per hour. During August, $210,600 of actual labor cost was incurred for 9,000 direct labor hours.
Required:
Calculate the labor rate variance and labor efficiency variance for August.
Note: Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).

Mini-Exercise 15-6(Algo) Fixed overhead variances LO 15-4,15-5,15-6
Acme Company's production budget for August is 19,400 units and includes the following component unit costs: direct materials, $10.0; direct labor, $12.5; variable overhead, $6.00. Budgeted fixed overhead is $51,000. Actual production in August was 20,928 units. Actual unit component costs incurred during August include direct materials, $10.50; direct labor, $12.00; variable overhead, $6.50. Actual fixed overhead was $54,400. The standard fixed overhead application rate per unit consists of $2.5 per machine hour and each unit is allowed a standard of 1 hour of machine time.
Required:
Calculate the fixed overhead budget variance and the fixed overhead volume variance.
Note: Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).
