Mcgreal Incorporated has provided the following data concerning its overhead variances for the most recent period: The total of the overhead variances is:

If the standard hours allowed for the actual output of the period is greater than the denominator level of activity (in hours), then the overhead volume variance will be favorable.

Reade Incorporated makes a single product-an electrical motor used in many long-haul trucks. The company has a standard cost system in which it applies overhead to this product based on the standard machine-hours allowed for the actual output of the period. Data concerning the most recent year appear below: The total manufacturing overhead is underapplied or overapplied by how much?

Fenderson Incorporated makes a single product--a cooling coil used in commercial refrigerators. The company has a standard cost system in which it applies overhead to this product based on the standard machine-hours allowed for the actual output of the period. Data concerning the most recent year appear below: The company incurred a total of $370,077 in manufacturing overhead cost during the year. Required: a. Compute the variable component of the company's predetermined overhead rate. b. Compute the fixed component of the company's predetermined overhead rate. c. Compute the company's predetermined overhead rate. d. Determine whether overhead was underapplied or overapplied for the year and by how much.

Ronda Manufacturing Corporation uses a standard cost system with machine-hours as the activity base for overhead. Last year, Ronda incurred $840,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead and generated a $42,000 favorable fixed manufacturing overhead budget variance. The following data relate to last year's operations: What amount of total fixed manufacturing overhead cost did Ronda apply to production last year?

The higher the denominator activity level used to compute the predetermined overhead rate, the higher the predetermined overhead rate.
