Respuesta :

Answer:

Total Overhead Variance = $985 Favorable

Explanation:

Actual Direct Labor Hours = 22,000

Actual Cost = $114,900

Actual Rate = $114,900/22,000 = $5.22

Standard Hours = 21,500

Standard Rate = $5.39

Total Overhead Variance = Standard Cost - Actual Cost

Standard Cost = 21,500 [tex]\times[/tex] $5.39 = $115,885

Actual Cost = $114,900

Total Overhead Variance = $115,885 - $114,900 = $985 Favorable as the actual cost is less than standard cost of overheads.
