The brake repair unit of SpeedFix Auto Garage uses standard costing to control labor hours and labor costs. The standard labor cost for a brake replacement is given below: Job Standard Hours Standard Rate Standard Cost $8.00/hour $16.00 Brake replacement 2.00 hours Unfortunately, the time record for brake replacements last week has been misplaced. However: The shop supervisor recalls that 150 brake replacements were completed during the week. The controller remembers the following labor variance data: Required: Labor rate variance = $720 Favorable Labor spending variance = $60 Unfavorable 1. Determine the number of actual labor hours spent during the week. 2. Determine the actual hourly rate of pay (rounded to two decimal places).

Nutts management is very concerned about the cost of overhead on its jobs. When jobs are complete, overhead costs should be between 15% and 20% of total costs. For example, the labor cost on Job 8958 is 25% of total costs, higher than the norm. Open Job 8961 and click the Chart sheet tab. A pie chart appears showing the cost components on that job. Record the labor cost percentage in the space provided. Repeat this for each of the jobs worked on in August. Did Nutt maintain good cost control on all its jobs? Explain. Worksheet. During September, Job 8963 required two additional material requisitions to complete the job. Open JOB8963 and modify the job cost sheet to include an area for four direct material requisition entries instead of three. Then enter the following two materials requisitions onto the worksheet: Preview the printout to make sure it will print neatly on one page, and then print the worksheet. Save the completed worksheet as JOBT. Chart. Open JOB8964 and click the Chart sheet tab. Prepare a bar chart for JOB8964 showing the amount of material, labor, and overhead required to complete the job. Use the Chart Data Table found in rows 4246 as a basis for preparing the chart. Enter your name somewhere on the chart. Save the file again as J0B8964. Print the chart.
CleanCom Company specializes in cleaning commercial buildings and construction sites. Each building and site is different, requiring amounts and types of supplies and labor for each job. CleanCom estimated the following for the year: During the year, the following actual amounts were experienced: If CleanCom uses a normal costing system and overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor hours, what is the cost of cleaning a construction site that takes 140 of direct materials and 21 direct labor hours? a. 455 b. 508 c. 648 d. 644
Darnell Poston, owner of Poston Manufacturing, Inc., wants to determine the cost behavior of labor and overhead. Darnell pays his workers a salary; during busy times, everyone works to get the orders out. Temps (temporary workers hired through an agency) may be hired to pack and prepare completed orders for shipment. During slower times, Darnell catches up on bookkeeping and administrative tasks while the salaried workers do preventive maintenance, clean the lines and building, etc. Temps are not hired during slow times. Darnell found that workers salaries, temp agency payments, rentals, utilities, and plant and equipment depreciation are the largest dollar accounts. He believes that workers salaries and plant and equipment depreciation are fixed, temp agency payments are associated with the number of orders (since temp workers are used to pack and prepare completed orders for shipment), and electricity is associated with the number of machine hours. When the number of different parts stored by Poston exceeds the space in the materials storeroom, Darnell rents nearby warehouse space. He can rent as much or as little space as he wants on a month-to-month basis. Therefore, he believes warehouse rental payments are variable with the number of parts purchased and stored. The account balances for the past six months as well as the six-month total are as follows: Information on number of machine hours, orders, and parts for the six-month period follows: Required: 1. Calculate the monthly average account balance for each account. Calculate the average monthly amount for each of the three drivers. 2. Calculate fixed monthly cost and the variable rates for temp agency payments, warehouse rent, and electricity. Express the results in the form of an equation for total cost. 3. In July, Darnell predicts there will be 420 orders, 250 parts, and 5,900 machine hours. What is the total labor and overhead cost for July? 4. What if Darnell buys a new machine in July for 24,000? The machine is expected to last 10 years and will have no salvage value at the end of that time. What part of the cost equation will be affected? How? What is the new expected cost in July?
