Setup overhead costs consist of some costs that are variable and some costs that are fixed with respect to the number of setup-hours.The following information pertains to January 2005.
$\begin{array}{lrr}&\text { Static-budget } & \text { Actual } \\&\text { Amounts } & \text { Amounts }\\\text { Basketball hoops produced and sold } & 30,000 & 28,000 \\\text { Batch size (number of units per batch) } & 200 & 250 \\\text { Setup-hours per batch } & 5 & 4 \\\text { Variable overhead cost per setup hour } & \$ 10 & \$ 9 \\\text { Total fixed setup overhead costs } & \$ 22,500 & \$ 21,000\end{array}$ Required:
a.Calculate the efficiency variance for variable overhead setup costs.
b.Calculate the spending variance for variable overhead setup costs.
