A manufacturing company that has only one product has established the following standards for its variable manufacturing overhead. The company bases its variable manufacturing overhead standards on direct labor-hours. Standard hours per unit of output 4.60 DLHs Standard variable overhead rate $ 11.55 per DLH The following data pertain to operations for the last month: Actual direct labor-hours 8,500 DLHs Actual total variable manufacturing overhead cost $ 95,930 Actual output 1,700 units What is the variable overhead efficiency variance for the month

variable overhead efficiency variance= $7,854 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard hours per unit of output 4.60 DLHs

Standard variable overhead rate $ 11.55 per DLH

Actual direct labor-hours 8,500 DLHs

Actual output of 1,700 units

To determine the variable overhead efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:

variable overhead efficiency variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*Standard rate

Standard quantity= 1,700*4.6= 7,820 hours

variable overhead efficiency variance= (7,820 - 8,500)*11.55= $7,854 unfavorable

rational decision making is a multi-step process for making choices between alternatives. the process of rational decision making favors logic, objectivity, and analysis over subjectivity and insight. the word “rational” in this context does not mean sane or clear-headed as it does in the colloquial sense.
