(Appendix 11A)Bruley Corporation applies manufacturing overhead to products on the basis of standard machine-hours.The company's predetermined overhead rate for fixed manufacturing overhead is $3.30 per machine-hour and the denominator level of activity is 3, 500 machine-hours.In the most recent month, the total actual fixed manufacturing overhead was $11, 570 and the company actually worked 3, 430 machine-hours during the month.The standard hours allowed for the actual output of the month totaled 3, 450 machine-hours.What was the overall fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance for the month?

(Appendix 11A)A manufacturer of playground equipment uses a standard costing system in which standard machine-hours (MHs)is the measure of activity.Data from the company's flexible budget for manufacturing overhead are given below: The following data pertain to operations for the most recent period: The fixed manufacturing overhead applied to products during the period is closest to:

When computing standard cost variances, the difference between actual and standard price multiplied by actual quantity yields a(n):

(Appendix 11A)Derf Corporation uses a standard cost system in which it applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of standard direct labor-hours.Two direct labor-hours are required for each unit produced.The denominator activity was set at 9, 000 units.Manufacturing overhead was budgeted at $135, 000 for the period;20 percent of this cost was fixed.The 17, 200 hours worked during the period resulted in production of 8, 500 units.Variable manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $108, 500 and fixed manufacturing overhead cost was $28, 000. The fixed manufacturing overhead budget variance for the period was:

(Appendix 11A)Dori Castings is a job order shop that uses a standard cost system.Manufacturing overhead costs are applied on the basis of standard direct labor-hours.A volume variance will exist for Dori in a month where:

(Appendix 11A)Pierce Corporation uses a standard cost system in which it applies manufacturing overhead to its product on the basis of standard direct labor-hours (DLHs).Below is the standard cost card for the product: Last year, the company produced 6, 000 units of product using 17, 000 direct labor-hours.The actual total fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the year was $140, 000 and the volume variance was $12, 000, favorable. Required: a.Determine the budgeted amount of total fixed manufacturing overhead cost. b.Determine the denominator activity figure that the company used in computing predetermined overhead rates.

(Appendix 11A)A company has a standard cost system in which fixed and variable manufacturing overhead costs are applied to products on the basis of direct labor-hours.A fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance will NOT necessarily occur in a month in which there is a fixed manufacturing overhead budget variance.

(Appendix 11A)Derf Corporation uses a standard cost system in which it applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of standard direct labor-hours.Two direct labor-hours are required for each unit produced.The denominator activity was set at 9, 000 units.Manufacturing overhead was budgeted at $135, 000 for the period;20 percent of this cost was fixed.The 17, 200 hours worked during the period resulted in production of 8, 500 units.Variable manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $108, 500 and fixed manufacturing overhead cost was $28, 000. The fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance for the period was:

(Appendix 11A)A favorable volume variance means that the company operated at an activity level greater than that planned for the period.

(Appendix 11A)The Dillon Corporation makes and sells a single product.Overhead costs are applied on the basis of standard direct labor-hours.The standard cost card shows that 5 direct labor-hours are required per unit.The Dillon Corporation had the following budgeted and actual data for March: The fixed manufacturing overhead budget variance for March is:
