The plant was designed two years ago for 180 production employees (direct labor), each working 2,000 hours per year. With the high demand for Beanie Babies, 240 production workers are projected for next year, each expected to work 2,200 hours per year. At the end of the year, based on the actual number of Beanie Babies produced, standard volume was 480,000 direct labor hours. Required: a. Calculate overhead rates using expected and normal volume. Round the overhead rates to two significant digits. b. Calculate the volume variance for the year assuming expected volume is used in setting the overhead rate. c.
