Question

Fluegge Incorporated has provided the following data concerning one of the products in its standard cost system. Variable manufacturing overhead is applied to products on the basis of direct labor-hours.

Inputs	Standard Quantity or Hours per Unit of Output	Standard Price or Rate
Direct materials	5.7	liters	$ 5.40	per liter
Direct labor	0.70	hours	$ 20.60	per hour
Variable manufacturing overhead	0.70	hours	$ 5.50	per hour

The company has reported the following actual results for the product for December:

Actual output	4,100	units
Raw materials purchased	25,100	liters
Actual price of raw materials	$ 4.80	per liter
Actual cost of raw materials purchased	$ 120,480
Raw materials used in production	23,360	liters
Actual direct labor-hours	2,700	hours
Actual direct labor rate	$ 21.20	per hour
Actual direct labor cost	$ 57,240
Actual variable overhead rate	$ 5.90	per hour
Actual variable overhead cost	$ 15,930

The raw materials price variance for the month is closest to:

Multiple Choice

A. $15,060 U

B. $14,016 F

C. $15,060 F

D. $14,016 U

Definition Definition System of assigning an estimated cost to the product (instead of the actual cost) so that the product cost can be determined well in advance and the pricing of the product can be done on time. Since the actual cost cannot be predicted at the initial stage of the production process, the estimated cost is recorded in the books. Any deviation of the estimated cost of the actual cost is adjusted in the books at the end of the period.
