Problem #8: Standard Costing and Variances Jake's Cheese Company produces gourmet cheese for resale at local grocery stores. The master budget indicates that the company expects to use 3.0 pounds of direct materials for each unit produced at a cost of $8.00 per pound (one unit = one batch of cheese). Each unit produced will require 0.50 direct labor hours at a cost of $10.00 per hour. Variable manufacturing overhead is applied based on direct labor hours at a rate of $5.00 per hour. Last year's sales were expected to total 50,000 units. Jake just received last year's actual results showing sales of 45,000 units. Required: (1) Calculate the standard cost per unit for direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead. (2) Prepare a flexible budget based on actual sales for direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead.

Product Costs and Product Profitability Reports, using a Single Plantwide Factory Overhead Rate Elliott Engines Inc. produces three products—pistons, valves, and cams—for the heavy equipment industry. Elliott Engines has a very simple production process and product line and uses a single plantwide factory overhead rate to allocate overhead to the three products. The factory overhead rate is based on direct labor hours. Information about the three products for 20Y2 is as follows: Budgeted Volume(Units) Direct LaborHours Per Unit Price PerUnit Direct MaterialsPer Unit Pistons 11,000 0.30 $46 $22 Valves 21,000 0.15 11 4 Cams 2,000 0.20 61 26 The estimated direct labor rate is $26 per direct labor hour.
