Exam 8: Flexible Budgets and Standard Costs

At the end of the accounting period, immaterial variances are closed to ________.

Summerlin Company budgeted 4,000 pounds of material costing $5.00 per pound to produce 2,000 units. The company actually used 4,500 pounds that cost $5.10 per pound to produce 2,000 units. What is the direct materials quantity variance?

A company's flexible budget for 12,000 units of production showed total contribution margin of $24,000 and fixed costs, $16,000. The operating income expected if the company produces and sells 15,000 units is:

Hatter, Inc. allocates fixed overhead at a rate of $17 per direct labor hour. This amount is based on 90% of capacity or 3,600 direct labor hours for 6,000 units. During July, Hatter produced 5,500 units. Budgeted fixed overhead is $66,000, and overhead incurred was $67,000. Required: Determine the volume variance for July.

Standard costs are:

Jake Co. has prepared the following fixed budget for the year, assuming production and sales of 30,000 units. This level of production represents 80% of capacity. Calculate the following flexible budget amounts at the indicated levels of capacity:

Fletcher Company collected the following data regarding production of one of its products. Compute the variable overhead efficiency variance.

A company's flexible budget for 60,000 units of production showed sales of $96,000, variable costs of $36,000, and fixed costs of $26,000. What operating income would be expected if the company produces and sells 70,000 units?

What is the overhead volume variance? What would be the cause of a favorable volume variance?

The standard materials cost to produce 1 unit of Product R is 6 pounds of material at a standard price of $50 per pound. In manufacturing 8,000 units, 47,000 pounds of material were used at a cost of $51 per pound. What is the total direct materials cost variance?

Use the following data to find the direct labor efficiency variance if the company produced 3,500 units during the period.

Variable budget is another name for:

Claymore Corp. has the following information about its standards and production activity for September. The controllable variance is:

Hassock Corp. produces woven wall hangings. It takes 2 hours of direct labor to produce a single wall hanging. Hassock's standard labor cost is $12 per hour. During August, Hassock produced 10,000 units and used 21,040 hours of direct labor at a total cost of $250,376. What is Hassock's labor rate variance for August?

A company's flexible budget for 36,000 units of production showed variable overhead costs of $54,000 and fixed overhead costs of $50,000. The company actually incurred total overhead costs of $95,300 while operating at a volume of 32,000 units. What is the controllable variance?

Maxwell Co. collected the following information about its production activities for the current year. a. Compute the direct materials price and quantity variances and indicate whether each is favorable or unfavorable. b. Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of direct materials into production. Actual costs and quantities: Direct materials used 95,000 lbs. @ $6.30 per lb. Units completed during the year, 50,000 units Standard costs and quantities: Price per lb. of direct material, $6.05 Two lbs. of direct material per unit

Based on a predicted level of production and sales of 22,000 units, a company anticipates total variable costs of $99,000, fixed costs of $30,000, and operating income of $36,000. Based on this information, the budgeted amount of fixed costs for 20,000 units would be:

A company's flexible budget for 10,000 units of production reflects sales of $200,000; variable costs of $40,000; and fixed costs of $75,000. Calculate the expected level of operating income if the company produces and sells 13,000 units.

One possible explanation for direct labor rate and efficiency variances is the use of workers with different skill levels.

A company uses the following standard costs to produce a single unit of output. During the latest month, the company purchased and used 58,000 pounds of direct materials at a price of $1.00 per pound to produce 10,000 units of output. Direct labor costs for the month totaled $56,350 based on 4,900 direct labor hours worked. Variable manufacturing overhead costs incurred totaled $15,000 and fixed manufacturing overhead incurred was $10,400. Based on this information, the direct materials price variance for the month was:
