Mongar Corporation applies manufacturing overhead to products on the basis of standard machine-hours. Budgeted and actual overhead costs for the most recent month appear below:

Original Budget Actual Costs
Variable overhead costs:
Supplies $7,980 $8,230
Indirect labor 29,820 29,610
Total variable manufacturing overhead cost $37,800 $37,840

The original budget was based on 4,200 machine-hours. The company actually worked 4,350 machine-hours during the month and the standard hours allowed for the actual output were 4,190 machine-hours. What was the overall variable overhead efficiency variance for the month?

a. $130 Unfavorable
b. $950 Favorable
c. $1,440 Unfavorable
d. $1,310 Favorable

Answer:

c. $1,440 Unfavorable

Explanation:

Variable overhead efficiency variance = (Standard hours - Actual working hours) * Standard Rate

Variable overhead efficiency variance = ($4,190 hours - $4,350 hours)*($37,800/4,200 hours)

Variable overhead efficiency variance = ($4,190 hours - $4,350 hours)*$9 per hour

Variable overhead efficiency variance = 160 hours*$9 per hour

Variable overhead efficiency variance = $1,440 Unfavorable

Bummerland finds itself in a recession caused, as assumed in class, a sticky nominal (money) wage (W) which is too high to clear the labor market.
Bummerland has a Treasury and a "Federal Reserve" (called the Bummerb¬ank). At a meeting of officials of both agen¬cies, various antirecess¬ionary policies are considered. The economic staffs of both agencies are seriously split on issues such as how interest sensitive investment is and how interest sensitive the demand for money is. However, they are in agreement that the marginal propensity to consume (b) is .75 and the marginal propensity to hold cash (k) is .2. Bummerland has banks, but the reserve requirement is 100%, so they don't create money.
