![Problem 11-39 Budgets and Performance Evaluation (LO 11-1, 11-6)
Johnson Electrical produces Industrial ventilation fans. The company plans to manufacture 87,000 fans evenly over the next quarter at
the following costs: direct material, $1,914,000; direct labor, $435,000; variable production overead, $639,450; and fixed production
overhead, $966,000. The $966,000 amount includes $84,000 of straight-line depreciation and $126,000 of supervisory salaries.
Shortly after the conclusion of the quarter's first month, Johnson reported the following costs:
Direct saterial
Direct labor
Variable production overhead
Depreciation
Supervisory salaries
Other fixed production overhead
Total
Dave Kellerman and his crews turned out 26,000 fans during the month-a remarkable feat given that the firm's manufacturing plant
was closed for several days because of storm damage and flooding. Kellerman was especially pleased with the fact that overall
financial performance for the period was favorable when compared with the budget. His pleasure, however, was very short-lived, as
Johnson's general manager issued a stern warning that performance must Improve, and Improve quickly, if Kellerman had any hopes
of keeping his job.
