Given that:VOH spending variance = 960FVOH efficiency variance = 600FFixed OH budget variance = 2, 100FFixed OH volume variance = 2, 600U, How much manufacturing overhead is under/overapplied?
A
$1, 060 Underapplied
B
$1, 060 Overapplied
C
$360 Underapplied
D
$360 Overapplied
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The formula for this variance is:(standard hours allowed for production – actual hours taken) × standard overhead absorption rate per hour (fixed or variable).

Detailed explanation-2: -Variable overhead cost variance = Recovered variable overheads-Actual variable overheads. Fixed overhead cost variance = Recovered fixed overheads-Actual fixed overheads.

Detailed explanation-3: -The formula is as follows: VOH = VOH exp. variance + VOH efficiency variance.

Detailed explanation-4: -The spending variance for direct materials is known as the purchase price variance, and is the actual price per unit minus the standard price per unit, multiplied by the number of units purchased.
