The master budget calls for the company to manufacture and sell 132,000 liters at a budgeted price of $315 per liter this year. The standard direct cost sheet for one liter of the preservative follows. Direct materials Direct labor (2 pounds @ $20) (0.5 hours @ $56) $40 28 Variable overhead is applied based on direct labor hours. The variable overhead rate is $180 per direct-labor hour. The fixed overhead rate (at the master budget level of activity) is $90 per unit. All non-manufacturing costs are fixed and are budgeted at $2.8 million for the coming year. At the end of the year, the costs analyst reported that the sales activity variance for the year was $942,000 unfavorable.

Salisbury Bottle Company manufactures plastic two-liter bottles for the beverage industry. The cost standards per 100 two-liter bottles are as follows: At the beginning of March, Salisburys management planned to produce 500,000 bottles. The actual number of bottles produced for March was 525,000 bottles. The actual costs for March of the current year were as follows: a. Prepare the March manufacturing standard cost budget (direct labor, direct materials, and factory overhead) for Salisbury, assuming planned production. b. Prepare a budget performance report for manufacturing costs, showing the total cost variances for direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead for March. c. Interpret the budget performance report.
Gent Designs requires three units of part A for every unit of Al that it produces. Currently, part A is made by Gent, with these per-unit costs in a month when 4.000 units were produced: Variable manufacturing overhead is applied at $1.00 per unit. The other $0.30 of overhead consists of allocated fixed costs. Gent will need 6,000 units of part A for the next years production. Cory Corporation has offered to supply 6,000 units of part A at a price of $7.00 per unit. It Gent accepts the offer, all of the variable costs and $1,200 of the fixed costs will be avoided. Should Gent Designs accept the offer from Cory Corporation?
Adam Corporation manufactures computer tables and has the following budgeted indirect manufacturing cost information for the next year: If Adam uses the step-down (sequential) method, beginning with the Maintenance Department, to allocate support department costs to production departments, the total overhead (rounded to the nearest dollar) for the Machining Department to allocate to its products would be: a. 407,500. b. 422,750. c. 442,053. d. 445,000.
Jillian Manufacturing Inc. manufactures a single product and uses a standard cost system. The factory overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor hours. A condensed version of the company’s flexible budget follows: The product requires 3 lb of materials at a standard cost of $5 per pound and 2 hours of direct labor at a standard cost of $10 per hour. For the current year, the company planned to operate at the level of 6,250 direct labor hours and to produce 3,125 units of product. Actual production and costs for the year follow: Required: For the current year, compute the factory overhead rate that will be used for production. Show the variable and fixed components that make up the total predetermined rate to be used. Prepare a standard cost card for the product. Show the individual elements of the overhead rate as well as the total rate. Compute (a) standard hours allowed for production and (b) under- or overapplied factory overhead for the year. Determine the reason for any under- or overapplied factory overhead for the year by computing all variances, using each of the following methods: Two-variance method Three-variance method (appendix) Four-variance method (appendix)
Shinto Corp. uses a standard cost system and manufactures one product. The variable costs per product follow: Budgeted fixed overhead costs for the month are $4,000, and Shinto expected to manufacture 2,000 units. Actual production, however, was only 1,800 units. Materials prices were 10% over standard, and labor rates were 5% over standard. Of the factory overhead expense, only 80% was used, and fixed overhead was $100 over budget. The actual variable overhead cost was $4,800. In materials usage, 8% more parts were used than were allowed for actual production by the standard, and 6% more labor hours were used than were allowed. Required: Calculate the materials and labor variances. Calculate the variances for overhead by the four-variance method. (Hint: First compute the fixed and variable overhead rates per hour.)
Jameson Company produces paper towels. The company has established the following direct materials and direct labor standards for one case of paper towels: During the first quarter of the year, Jameson produced 45,000 cases of paper towels. The company purchased and used 135,700 pounds of paper pulp at 0.38 per pound. Actual direct labor used was 91,000 hours at 12.10 per hour. Required: 1. Calculate the direct materials price and usage variances. 2. Calculate the direct labor rate and efficiency variances. 3. Prepare the journal entries for the direct materials and direct labor variances. 4. Describe how flexible budgeting variances relate to the direct materials and direct labor variances computed in Requirements 1 and 2.
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?
Jacson Company produces two brands of a popular pain medication: regular strength and extra strength. Regular strength is produced in tablet form, and extra strength is produced in capsule form. All direct materials needed for each batch are requisitioned at the start. The work orders for two batches of the products are shown below, along with some associated cost information: In the Mixing Department, conversion costs are applied on the basis of direct labor hours. Budgeted conversion costs for the department for the year were 60,000 for direct labor and 190,000 for overhead. Budgeted direct labor hours were 5,000. It takes one minute of labor time to mix the ingredients needed for a 100-unit bottle (for either product). In the Bottling Department, conversion costs are applied on the basis of machine hours. Budgeted conversion costs for the department for the year were 400,000. Budgeted machine hours were 20,000. It takes one-half minute of machine time to fill a bottle of 100 units. Required: 1. What are the conversion costs applied in the Mixing Department for each batch? The Bottling Department? 2. Calculate the cost per bottle for the regular and extra strength pain medications. 3. Prepare the journal entries that record the costs of the 12,000 regular strength batch as it moves through the various operations. 4. Suppose that the direct materials are requisitioned by each department as needed for a batch. For the 12,000 regular strength batch, direct materials are requisitioned for the Mixing and Bottling departments. Assume that the amount of cost is split evenly between the two departments. How will this change the journal entries made in Requirement 3?
