Answer:








Variable Factory Overhead 
Controllable Variance  = 

Variable Factory Overhead 
$4,000 – [$1.40 × (1,000 units × 3.0 hrs.)] 
Controllable Variance  =  $4,000 – $4,200 
Variable Factory Overhead 
Controllable Variance  = –$200 Favorable

Dvorak Company produced 1,000 units of product that required three standard hours per unit. The standard fixed overhead cost per unit is $0.60 per hour at 3,500 hours, which is 100% of normal capacity. Determine the fixed factory overhead volume variance.

Answer:
$300 unfavorable $0.60 × [3,500 hrs. – (1,000 units × 3 hrs.)]

Dvorak Company produced 1,000 units that require five standard pounds per unit at $2.50 standard price per pound

Dvorak Company produced 1,000 units that require five standard pounds per unit at $2.50 standard price per pound. The company actually used 4,500 pounds in production. Journalize the entry to record the standard direct materials used in production.

Answer:

Work in Process (5,000* lbs. × $2.50) 12,500  

Direct Materials Quantity Variance**  1,250 

Materials (4,500 lbs. × $2.50)  11,250 

* 1,000 units × 5 standard lbs. per unit 

** [(4,500 lbs. – 5,000 lbs.) × $2.50]
