1. MEANING

Overhead variance – Overhead variances may arise due to the difference between standard overhead costs and the actual overheads incurred.

2. CLASSIFICATION

It can be classified into two parts.
1. Variable overhead variance
2. Fixed overhead variances

3. Variable Overhead Variance

Variable overhead – Variable overhead is the cost of operating a business, which fluctuates with manufacturing activity.
Examples- production supplies, utilities for the equipment, wages for handling.

Variable overhead Variance – Overhead variances may arise due to the difference between standard Variable overhead costs and the actual Variable overheads incurred.

Variable overhead is further divided into three parts & formulas:
1. Variable overhead cost variance (VOCV)
2. Variable overhead expenditure variances ( VOEV )
3. Variable overheads efficiency variance (VOEV)

variable overhead variance

1. VARIABLE OVERHEAD COST VARIANCE (VOCV)

It is the difference between the standard variable overhead for actual output and the actual variable overhead incurred.

In other words, to find the difference between Standard variable cost of output Budgeted And Actual Incurred. It represents the Under/Over Variable Overhead.

Formula of Variable Overhead Cost Variance

VOCV=  Standard variable overhead for actual output – Actual Variable Overhead
                                                              Or
(Actual Output in Units * Standard Rate Per Unit) – (Actual output * actual rate)

2. VARIABLE OVERHEAD EXPENDITURE VARIANCE

It is the difference between the actual amount of a particular expense and the expected ( budgeted ) amount of an expense during a period.

Formula of Variable Overhead Expenditure Variance

(VOEV) = Standard variable overhead for actual Hour worked – Actual Variable Overhead
OR
(Actual Total Time * Standard Rate Per Hour) – (Actual output * actual rate)

3. VARIABLE OVERHEAD EFFICIENCY VARIANCE (VOEV)

It is the measure of impact on the standard variable overheads due to the difference between a standard number of manufacturing hours and the actual hours worked during the period.

It is a mixture of both Cost and Expenditure. It is for actual time taken to produce and Budgeted time sets to be produced.

Formula of Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance

VOEV=  ( Standard variable overhead for actual output – Standard variances overhead for actual hour worked )
                                                                           OR
 (Actual output* Standard Rate Per unit)- (Actual Output* Standard Rate Per hour)
Verification ~ Cost = Exp + Efficiency

Numerical Solved

Particulars Standard Actual
Output in units 2500 Units 2000 Units
Labour (Hrs) 5000 Hrs 6000 Hrs
Variable overhead ₹1000 ₹1500

1. VOCV=
  ( Actual Output in Units * Standard Rate Per Unit ) – ( Actual output * actual rate per unit )
= (2000*1000/2500)- (2000*1500/2000) = (2000*0.4)- (2000*0.75)= 800 – 1500 = 700A
A means Adverse for Unfavourable amount and For Favourable Amount “F” word .

2. VO Expenditure Variance= (Actual Total Time *Standard Rate Per Hour)- (Actual output * actual rate per hour)
= ( 6000 * 1000/5000 ) – (2000 * 1500/6000) =  1200-1500 = 300A

3. VO Efficiency Variance= (Actual output* Standard Rate Per unit)- (Actual hour* Standard Rate Per hour)
=         ( 2000*1000/2500)- (6000*1000/5000)  = 800-1200= 400A

Verification~ Cost = Exp + Efficiency
                  700A  = 300A + 400A
