Whiteside Corporation manufactures a variety of appliances which all use Part B89. Currently, Whiteside Corporation manufactures Part B89 itself. It has been producing 11,000 units of Part B89 annually. The annual costs of producing Part B89 at the level of 11,000 units include: Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead Total cost Answers: $3.30 $8.50 All of the fixed manufacturing overhead costs would continue whether Part B89 is made internally or purchased from an outside supplier. Assume the company can purchase 11,000 units of the part from the Nadal Parts Company for $20.10 each, and the facilities currently used to make the part could be used to manufacture 11,000 units of another product that would have a $9 per unit contribution margin. If no additional fixed costs would be incurred, what should Whiteside Corporation do? Selected Answer: Make the new product and buy the part to earn an extra $8.30 per unit contribution to…

Required Information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Patel and Sons Inc. uses a standard cost system to apply factory overhead costs to units produced. Practical capacity for the plant is defined as 55,200 machine hours per year, which represents 27,600 units of output. Annual budgeted fixed factory overhead costs are $276,000 and the budgeted variable factory overhead cost rate is $3.70 per unit. Factory overhead costs are applied on the basis of standard machine hours allowed for units produced. Budgeted and actual output for the year was 21,500 units, which took 44,200 machine hours. Actual fixed factory overhead costs for the year amounted to $264,800 while the actual variable overhead cost per unit was $3.60. Based on the Information provided above, calculate the following factory overhead variances for the year. Indicate whether each variance is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U).
