1.
Templeton Corporation produces ice cream machines. Last year, Templeton sold 40,000 machines. Unit sales are expected to increase 10 percent each year. Average sales price per machine will remain at $200.
Assume finished goods inventory is maintained at a level equal to 5 percent of the next quarter’s sales. Finished goods inventory at the end of last year was 2,300 units.
a)
What is Templeton Corporation’s sales budget for this year?
Last year, Templeton sold 40,000 machines and are expected to increase sales by 10% this year.
Number of machines to be sold this year = 40,000×(1+0.10)40,000×(1+0.10) = 40,000×1.1040,000×1.10 = 44,000 machines
Sales budget = Number of machines to be sold this year x Average sales price per machine Sales budget = 44,000 machines x $200/machine Sales budget = $8,800,000
b)
What is Templeton Corporation’s production budget for this year?
Quarter 1: 44,000×14=11,00044,000×41=11,000 units
Quarter 2: 11,000 units
Quarter 3: 11,000 units
Quarter 4: 11,000 units
Quarter 1 Ending Inventory = 11,000×0.05=55011,000×0.05=550 units (5% of Q2 sales)
Quarter 2 Ending Inventory = 11,000×0.05=55011,000×0.05=550 units (5% of Q3 sales)
Quarter 3 Ending Inventory = 11,000×0.05=55011,000×0.05=550 units (5% of Q4 sales)
Quarter 4 Ending Inventory = 11,000×0.05=55011,000×0.05=550 units (5% of Q1 sales for next year, which will be 11,000 units + 10% of 11,000 units = 12,100 units)
Thus, for each quarter:
Units to be produced=Units to be sold+Required ending inventory−Beginning inventory
Q1 Production: 11,000+550−2,300=9,25011,000+550−2,300=9,250 units
Q2 Production: 11,000+550−550=11,00011,000+550−550=11,000 units
Q3 Production: 11,000+550−550=11,00011,000+550−550=11,000 units
Q4 Production: 11,000+550−550=11,00011,000+550−550=11,000 units
Templeton’s production budget would be 42,250 unites produced.

a)
Calculate the direct materials budget for Giantage.
Direct materials budget = Expected number of units to be produced * Direct materials required per unit * Cost of direct materials per unit
Direct materials budget = 44,550 units * 12 square feet/unit * $1.50/square foot
Direct materials budget = $801,900
Therefore, the direct materials budget for Giantage is $801,900.
b)
Calculate the direct labor budget for Giantage.
Direct Labor Budget = 44,550 units × 2 hours/unit × $15/hour
Direct Labor Budget = 44,550 units × 2 hours/unit × $15/hour = 89,100 hours × $15/hour = $1,336,500
Therefore, the direct labor budget for Giantage is $1,336,500.
c)
Calculate the manufacturing overhead budget for Giantage.
Direct Labor Budget = (Expected units to be produced) × (Labor hours required per unit) × (Cost of labor per hour)
Direct Labor Budget = 44,550 units × 2 hours/unit × $15/hour = 89,100 hours × $15/hour = $1,336,500
Therefore, the direct labor budget for Giantage is $1,336,500.

Hal’s Heating produces furnaces for commercial buildings. The company’s master budget shows the following standards information.
Expected production for January:
300 furnaces
Direct materials
3 heating elements at $40 per element
Direct labor
35 hours per furnace at $18 per hour
Variable manufacturing overhead
35 direct labor hours per furnace at $15 per hour
a)
Calculate the standard cost per unit for direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead.
Direct Materials
3 heating elements at $40 per element = $120
Direct Labor
35 hours per furnace at $18 per hour = $630
Variable Manufacturing Overhead
35 direct labor hours per furnace at $15 per hour = $525
Total Standard Cost per Unit
$120 + $630 + $525 = $1,275
b)
Assume Hal’s Heating produced 320 furnaces during January. Prepare a flexible budget for direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead.
If Hal’s produces s320 furnaces in Januray,
Standard cost for direct materials per furnace = $120 For 320 furnaces: Total budgeted cost for direct materials = 320 furnaces x $120 per furnace = $38,400
Standard cost for direct labor per furnace = $630 For 320 furnaces: Total budgeted cost for direct labor = 320 furnaces x $630 per furnace = $201,600
Variable Manufacturing Overhead: Standard cost for variable manufacturing overhead per furnace = $525 For 320 furnaces: Total budgeted cost for variable manufacturing overhead = 320 furnaces x $525 per furnace = $168,000

Sweets Company produces boxes of chocolate. Sweets purchased and used 2,200 pounds of chocolate during the month of April for $4.80 per pound. A standard of 2 pounds of material is expected to be used for each box produced, at a cost of $5 per pound. Sweets produced 1,000 boxes of chocolate during the month of April.
a)
Calculate the direct materials price variance for the month of April. Direct materials price variance = (Standard price per unit - Actual price per unit) x Actual quantity used
Direct materials price variance = ($5 per pound - $4.80 per pound) x 2,200 pounds = $440 favorable variance b)
Calculate the materials quantity variance for the month of April.
Materials quantity variance = (Standard quantity per unit - Actual quantity used) x Standard price per unit
Materials quantity variance = (2 pounds - 2,200 pounds) x 5 per pound = -10,990
The quantity variance is $10,900 unfavorable for the month of April

Tech Company produces computer servers. The company’s standards show an expected direct labor rate of $20 per hour and that each server will require 10 hours of direct labor. Tech’s direct labor workforce worked 3,200 hours to produce 300 units during the month of
August for a total direct labor cost of $70,400. a)
Calculate the labor rate variance for the month of August. Clearly indicate if the variance
is favorable or unfavorable.
Labor rate variance = (Actual labor rate - Standard labor rate) x Actual labor hours
Actual labor rate = Total direct labor cost / Actual labor hours
= $70,400 / 3,200 hours = $22 per hour
Standard labor rate = $20 per hour
Labor rate variance = ($22 - $20) x 3,200 hours = $6,400 Tech company’s labor rate variance for August is $6,400 unfavorable.
b)
Calculate the labor efficiency variance for the month of August. Clearly indicate if the variance is favorable or unfavorable
Labor efficiency variance = (Standard labor hours - Actual labor hours) x Standard labor rate
Standard labor hours = Number of units produced x Standard labor hours per unit = 300 units x 10 hours per unit = 3,000 hours
Labor efficiency variance = (3,000 hours - 3,200 hours) x $20 per hour = -$4,000 unfavorable
Tech company’s August labor efficiency variance is $4000 unfavorable.

a)
Calculate the variable overhead spending variance for the month of August. Clearly indicate if the variance is favorable or unfavorable.
Budgeted variable overhead costs = Standard variable overhead rate per unit * Actual production
Budgeted variable overhead costs = $100 per machine hour * 3 machine hours per server * 300 servers = $90,000
The actual variable overhead costs are $96,050.
Variable overhead spending variance = $96,050 - $90,000 = $6,050 The variable overhead spending variance for August is $6,050 unfavorable.
b)
Calculate the variable overhead efficiency variance for the month of August. Clearly indicate if the variance is favorable or unfavorable.
Variable overhead efficiency variance = (Actual production * Standard machine hours per unit) -
Actual machine hours
Budgeted machine hours = 300 servers * 3 machine hours per server = 900 machine hours
Variable overhead efficiency variance = (300 servers * 3 machine hours per server) - 850 machine hours = 50 favorable
The variable overhead efficiency variance for August was favorable by 50 machine hours
