The Ferris Company applies manufacturing overhead costs to products on the basis of direct labourhours.

The standard cost card shows that 3 direct labour-hours are required per unit of product. For

August, the company budgeted to work 90,000 direct labour-hours and to incur the following total

manufacturing overhead costs:

During August, the company completed 28,000 units of product, worked 86,000 direct labour-hours, and

incurred the following total manufacturing overhead costs:

The denominator activity in the predetermined overhead rate is 90,000 direct labour-hours.

King Company estimated that it would operate its manufacturing facilities at 800,000 direct labourhours

for the year and this served as the denominator activity in the predetermined overhead rate. The

total budgeted manufacturing overhead for the year was $2,000,000, of which $1,600,000 was variable

and $400,000 was fixed. The standard variable overhead rate was $2 per direct labour-hour. The standard

direct labour time was 3 direct labour-hours per unit. The actual results for the year are presented below:

70. The variable overhead spending variance for the year is?

A. $2,000 F.

B. $10,000 U.

C. $82,000 U.

D. $110,000 U.
