Rhodes Corporation manufactures a product with the following standard costs:

Direct materials (20 yards @ $1.85 per yard) $ 37.00
Direct labor (4 hours @ $12.00 per hour) 48.00
Variable factory overhead (4 hours @ $5.40 per hour) 21.60
Fixed factory overhead (4 hours @ $3.60 per hour) 14.40
Total standard cost per unit of output $121.00

Standards are based on normal monthly production involving 2,000 direct labor hours (500 units of output).

The following information pertains to the month of July:

Direct materials purchased (16,000 yards @ $1.80 per yard) $28,800
Direct materials used (9,400 yards)
Direct labor (1,880 hours @ $12.20 per hour) 22,936
Actual factory overhead 16,850
Actual production in July: 460 units

a. Compute the budgeted fixed overhead
b. Assuming Rhodes used the two-variance method of analyzing factory overhead, compute the following variances for the month of July indicating whether each variance is favorable or unfavorable:

1. Factory overhead controllable variance
2. Factory overhead volume variance

If you post your working out on here I'm sure someone will be able to tell you whether it's right or suggest changes to your calculations
is this homework....?
What's wrong with a pocket calculator?

If you haven't got one there's an online version in IE tools/acessories
If one doesn't try to understand what the homework request question means, no pocket calculator is going to help anyway
