Kudos Company has set the following standard costs per unit for the product it manaufactures.
Direct materials (10 lbs @ $3 per lb.) 30.00
Direct labor (4 hrs @ $ per hr.) 24.00
Overhead (4 hrs @ $2.50 per hr.) 10.00
Total standard cost $ 64.00
The predetermined overhead rate is based on a planned operating volume of 80% of the productive capacity of 10,000 units per month. The following flexible budget information is available:

Required
1. Compute the direct marterials variance, including its prince and quantity variances
2. Computer the direct labor variance, including its rate and efficiency variances
3. Computer these variances (a) variable overhead spending and efficiency, (b) fixed overhead spending and volume, and C. total overhead controllable.
4. Prepare a detailed overhead variance report that shows the variances for indivdiual items of overhead.
