Brian Landscaping plants grass seed as the basic landscaping for business campuses. During a recent month, the company worked on three projects (Remington, Chang, and Wyco). The company is interested in controlling the materials costs, namely the grass seed, for these plantings projects. In order to provide management with useful cost control information, the company uses standard costs and prepares monthly variance reports. Analysis reveals that the purchasing agent mistakenly purchased poor-quality seed for the Remington project. The Chang project, however, received higher-than-standard-quality seed that was on sale. The Wyco project received standard-quality seed. However, the price had increased and a new employee was used to spread the seed. Shown below are quantity and cost data for each project. Project Remington Chang Wyco Total variance (a) 400 Actual Quantity Costs Quantity 530 lbs. $1,272 600 880 Standard 410 440 lbs. $1,144 1,620 500 Costs 1,066 1,300 Total Variance $128 U 186 F 320 U $262 U Prepare a variance report for the purchasing department.

Waterways has two major public-park projects to provide with comprehensive irrigation in one of its service locations this month. Job J57 and Job K52 involve 15 acres of landscaped terrain which will require special-order sprinkler heads to meet the specifications of the project. Using a job cost system to produce these parts, the following events occurred during December 2012. Raw materials were requisitioned from the company's inventory on December 2 for $5,061; on December 8 for $1,059; and on December 14 for $3,459. In each instance, two-thirds (2/3) of these materials were for J57 and the rest for K52. Six time tickets were turned in for these two projects for a total amount of 18 hours of work. All the workers were paid $16.50 per hour. The time tickets were dated December 3, December 9, and December 15. On each of those days, 6 labor hours were spent on these jobs, two-thirds (2/3) for J57 and the rest for K52. The predetermined overhead rate is based on machine hours. The…

The manager of the main laboratory facility at UrbanFit Center is interested in being able to predict the overhead costs each month for the lab. The manager believes that total overhead varies with the number of lab tests performed I that some costs remain the same each month regardless of the number of lab tests performed. The lab manager collected the following data for the first seven months of the year. (Click the icon to view the data.) Use the high-low method to determine the laboratory's cost equation for total laboratory overhead. Use your results to predict total laboratory overhead if 3,500 lab tests are performed next month. Let's begin by determining the formula that is used to calculate the variable cost (slope).
