Wildhorse Company is evaluating its performance at year-end within its variable costing system. The company uses standard costing and budgeted for $16,000 of fixed-MOH costs to support budgeted production of 3,300 units. The purchasing department couldn't get its hands on as many raw materials as it had hoped, so production was only 1,900 units this year. Variable manufacturing costs and variable operating costs were on-budget at $19 per unit and $2 per unit, respectively. Fortunately, the company sold all of this year's production plus its entire FG Inventory of 360 units from the prior year. This year's unit costs were the same as last year's. How much will Wildhorse report for its COGS this year? Will the company recognize a fixed-MOH volume variance this year? If there is a fixed-MOH volume variance, specify the amount and the sign. (Do not leave any answer field blank. Enter O for amounts.) COGS SA $ Fixed-MOH volume variance $ Unfavorable V
Variance Analysis
In layman's terms, variance analysis is an analysis of a difference between planned and actual behavior. Variance analysis is mainly used by the companies to maintain a control over a business. After analyzing differences, companies find the reasons for the variance so that the necessary steps should be taken to correct that variance.
Standard Costing
The standard cost system is the expected cost per unit product manufactured and it helps in estimating the deviations and controlling them as well as fixing the selling price of the product. For example, it helps to plan the cost for the coming year on the various expenses.
