that are required for the service as variable overheads (OH), the cost of which is directly associated with the labor hours worked. It has been estimated that variable OH rate is £10 per service hour. The budgeted and actual costs, revenue and units for the

month November are given in the table below: Original Budget Actual Units of Service 1,500 1,600 Sales Revenue £120,000 £124,400 Labor hours 750 860 Labor cost £15,000 £20,210 Variable OH costs £7,500 £8,170 Fixed Cost £68,000 £68,000 Total Cost £90,500 £96,380
