Using High-Low to Calculate Predicted Total Variable Cost and Total Cost for a Time Period That Differs from the Data Period Refer to the information for Pizza Vesuvio on the previous page. Assume that this information was used to construct the following formula for monthly labor cost. TotalLaborCost=5,237+(7.40EmployeeHours) Required: Assume that 4,000 employee hours are budgeted for the coming year. Use the total labor cost formula to make the following calculations: 1. Calculate total variable labor cost for the year. 2. Calculate total fixed labor cost for the year. 3. Calculate total labor cost for the coming year. Use the following information for Brief Exercises 3-17 through 3-20: Pizza Vesuvio makes specialty pizzas. Data for the past 8 months were collected:
Refer to Exercise 8.27. At the end of the year, Meliore, Inc., actually produced 310,000 units of the standard model and 115,000 of the deluxe model. The actual overhead costs incurred were: Required: Prepare a performance report for the period. In an attempt to improve budgeting, the controller for Meliore, Inc., has developed a flexible budget for overhead costs. Meliore, Inc., makes two types of products, the standard model and the deluxe model. Meliore expects to produce 300,000 units of the standard model and 120,000 units of the deluxe model during the coming year. The standard model requires 0.05 direct labor hour per unit, and the deluxe model requires 0.08. The controller has developed the following cost formulas for each of the four overhead items: Required: 1. Prepare an overhead budget for the expected activity level for the coming year. 2. Prepare an overhead budget that reflects production that is 10 percent higher than expected (for both products) and a budget for production that is 20 percent lower than expected.
Use the following information for Exercises 9-63 and 9-64: Palladium Inc. produces a variety of household cleaning products. Palladiums controller has developed standard costs for the following four overhead items: Next year, Palladium expects production to require 90,000 direct labor hours. Exercise 9-63 Flexible Budget for Various Levels of Activity Refer to the information for Palladium Inc. above. Required: 1. Prepare an overhead budget for the expected level of direct labor hours for the coming year. 2. Prepare an overhead budget that reflects production that is 15% higher than expected and for production that is 15% lower than expected.
The expected costs for the Maintenance Department of Stazler, Inc., for the coming year include: Fixed costs (salaries, tools): 64,900 per year Variable costs (supplies): 1.35 per maintenance hour Estimated usage by: Actual usage by: Required: 1. Calculate a single charging rate for the Maintenance Department. 2. Use this rate to assign the costs of the Maintenance Department to the user departments based on actual usage. Calculate the total amount charged for maintenance for the year. 3. What if the Assembly Department used 4,000 maintenance hours in the year? How much would have been charged out to the three departments?
Computing unit costs at different levels of production French Fragrances, Ltd. budgeted for 12,000 bottles of perfume Belle during May. The unit cost of Belle was $20, consisting of direct materials, $7; direct labor, $8; and factory overhead, $5 (fixed, $2; variable, $3). What would be the unit cost if 10,000 bottles were manufactured? (Hint: You must first determine the total fixed costs.) What would be the unit cost if 20,000 bottles were manufactured? Explain why a difference occurs in the unit costs.
Using High-Low to Calculate Predicted Total Variable Cost and Total Cost for Budgeted Output Refer to the information for Pizza Vesuvio on the previous page. Assume that this information was used to construct the following formula for monthly labor cost. TotalLaborCost=5,237+(7.40EmployeeHours) Required: Assume that 675 employee hours are budgeted for the month of September. Use the total labor cost formula for the following calculations: 1. Calculate total variable labor cost for September. 2. Calculate total labor cost for September.
Nashler Company has the following budgeted variable costs per unit produced: Budgeted fixed overhead costs per month include supervision of 98,000, depreciation of 76,000, and other overhead of 245,000. Required: 1. Prepare a flexible budget for all costs of production for the following levels of production: 160,000 units, 170,000 units, and 175,000 units. 2. What is the per-unit total product cost for each of the production levels from Requirement 1? (Round each unit cost to the nearest cent.) 3. What if Nashler Companys cost of maintenance rose to 0.22 per unit? How would that affect the unit product costs calculated in Requirement 2?
Using Regression to Calculate Fixed Cost, Calculate the Variable Rate, Construct a Cost Formula, and Determine Budgeted Cost Refer to the information for Pizza Vesuvio on the previous page. Coefficients shown by a regression program for Pizza Vesuvios data are: Required: Use the results of regression to make the following calculations: 1. Calculate the fixed cost of labor and the variable rate per employee hour. 2. Construct the cost formula for total labor cost. 3. Calculate the budgeted cost for next month, assuming that 675 employee hours are budgeted. (Note: Round answers to the nearest dollar.)

Current Attempt in Progress Myers Company uses a flexible budget for manufacturing overhead based on direct labor hours. Variable manufacturing overhead costs per direct labor hour are as follows: Indirect labor Indirect materials Utilities $1.30 0.60 0.20 Fixed overhead costs per month are Supervision $4,000, Depreciation $1,600, and Property Taxes $700. The company believes it will normally operate in a range of 8,100-11,700 direct labor hours per month. Prepare a monthly manufacturing overhead flexible budget for 2020 for the expected range of activity, using increments of 1,200 direct labor hours. (List variable costs before fixed costs.)
