Chapter 8, Problem 19E
Exercise 21-19 Computation of total
World Company expects to operate at 80% of its productive capacity of 50,000 units per month. At this planned level, the company expects to use 25,000 standard hours of direct labor. Overhead is allocated to products using a predetermined standard rate of 0.625 direct labor hours per unit. At the 80% capacity level, the total budgeted cost includes $50,000 fixed overhead cost and $275,000 variable overhead cost. In the current month, the company incurred $305,000 actual overhead and 22,000 actual labor hours while producing 35,000 units.
- Compute the predetermined standard overhead rate for total overhead.
- Compute and interpret the total overhead variance.

Question 7
Howard Bannister Company budgets the following per-unit costs for the upcoming year:
Direct Material
Direct Labor
Variable Selling Expenses
Sales commission
$32.54
$21.24
$15.70
$20.10
Howard budgets producing 1,017 units and having 27,370 of total variable overhead, 49,540
of total fixed overhead, and 30,387 of total fixed S&A costs for the year. Howard allocates
overhead based on units produced.
What is the per-unit cost of inventory under variable costing (i.e., assuming budgets are
correct, how much will be the total amount debited to WIP if Howard produces one additional
unit)? Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g., 192.37).
