Exam 10: Standard Costs and Variances

Flick Company uses a standard cost system in which manufacturing overhead is applied to units of product on the basis of standard direct labor-hours. The company's total budgeted variable and fixed manufacturing overhead costs at the denominator level of activity are $20,000 for variable overhead and $30,000 for fixed manufacturing overhead.
