Question

Baxter Corporation’s master budget calls for the production of 5,000 units per month and $144,000
indirect labor costs for the year. Baxter considers indirect labor as a component of variable factory
overhead cost. During April, the company produced 4,500 units and incurred indirect labor costs
of $10,100. What amount (rounded to the nearest whole dollar) would be reported in April as a
flexible-budget variance for indirect labor? Is this variance favorable (F) or unfavorable (U)?

Definition Definition Measure used to estimate the difference between the budgeted and annual proportion for a specific accounting year. A favorable budget variance refers to positive variances or gains, while unfavorable or negative variances refer to a shortfall in the budget. A budget variance is indicative of the instances where the actual costs incurred are higher or lower than the estimated costs.
