Mason Fender allocates manufacturing overhead to production based on standard direct labor hours. Mason Fender reported the following actual results for 2018: actual number of fenders produced, 20,000: actual variable overhead, $5,350: actual fixed overhead, $26,000: actual direct labor hours, 460
Requirements
1. Compute the overhead variances for the year variable overhead cost variance, variable overhead efficiency variance, fixed overhead cost variance, and fixed overhead volume variance.
2. Explain why the variances are favorable or unfavorable,

Currently, overhead is applied at the rate of $26/DLH. Brooklyn is now considering using activity-based driver rates to improve manufacturing overhead costing accuracy. Budgeted manufacturing overhead costs for expected driver activity are:Budgeted Cost Budgeted ActivityMachining time................... $250,000 10,000 hoursDirect labor time................. $280,000 20,000 hoursInspection time................... $ 32,000 4,000 hoursRequired:Calculate manufacturing overhead rates that would be applied to bicycles producedusing activity-based costing, and explain how Brooklyn Cycles could achieveimproved costing accuracy.arrow_forward
- Please do not give solution in image format thankuarrow_forwardRefer to the data in Exercise 9.15. Required: 1. Compute overhead variances using a two-variance analysis. 2. Compute overhead variances using a three-variance analysis. 3. Illustrate how the two- and three-variance analyses are related to the four-variance analysis. Oerstman, Inc., uses a standard costing system and develops its overhead rates from the current annual budget. The budget is based on an expected annual output of 120,000 units requiring 480,000 direct labor hours. (Practical capacity is 500,000 hours.) Annual budgeted overhead costs total 787,200, of which 556,800 is fixed overhead. A total of 119,400 units using 478,000 direct labor hours were produced during the year. Actual variable overhead costs for the year were 230,600, and actual fixed overhead costs were 556,250. Required: 1. Compute the fixed overhead spending and volume variances. How would you interpret the spending variance? Discuss the possible interpretations of the volume variance. Which is most appropriate for this example? 2. Compute the variable overhead spending and efficiency variances. How is the variable overhead spending variance like the price variances of direct labor and direct materials? How is it different? How is the variable overhead efficiency variance related to the direct labor efficiency variance?arrow_forwardHart Manufacturing makes three products. Each product requires manufacturing operations in three departments: A, B, and C. The labor-hour requirements, by department, are as follows: During the next production period the labor-hours available are 450 in department A, 350 in department B, and 50 in department C. The profit contributions per unit are 25 for product 1, 28 for product 2, and 30 for product 3. a. Formulate a linear programming model for maximizing total profit contribution. b. Solve the linear program formulated in part (a). How much of each product should be produced, and what is the projected total profit contribution? c. After evaluating the solution obtained in part (b), one of the production supervisors noted that production setup costs had not been taken into account. She noted that setup costs are 400 for product 1, 550 for product 2, and 600 for product 3. If the solution developed in part (b) is to be used, what is the total profit contribution after taking into account the setup costs? d. Management realized that the optimal product mix, taking setup costs into account, might be different from the one recommended in part (b). Formulate a mixed-integer linear program that takes setup costs provided in part (c) into account. Management also stated that we should not consider making more than 175 units of product 1, 150 units of product 2, or 140 units of product 3. e. Solve the mixed-integer linear program formulated in part (d). How much of each product should be produced and what is the projected total profit contribution? Compare this profit contribution to that obtained in part (c).arrow_forward

Palladiums controller has developed standard costs for the following four overhead items: Next year, Palladium expects production to require 90,000 direct labor hours. Exercise 9-63 Flexible Budget for Various Levels of Activity Refer to the information for Palladium Inc. above. Required: 1. Prepare an overhead budget for the expected level of direct labor hours for the coming year. 2. Prepare an overhead budget that reflects production that is 15% higher than expected and for production that is 15% lower than expected.arrow_forwardUse the following information for Exercises 10-56 and 10-57: Rostand Inc. operates a delivery service for over 70 restaurants. The corporation has a fleet of vehicles and has invested in a sophisticated, computerized communications system to coordinate its deliveries. Rostand has gathered the following actual data on last years delivery operations: Rostand employs a standard costing system. During the year, a variable overhead rate of 5.10 per hour was used. The labor standard requires 0.80 hour per delivery. Exercise 10-56 Variable Overhead Variances, Service Company Refer to the information for Rostand Inc. above. Required: 1. Compute the standard hours allowed for actual deliveries made last year. 2. Compute the variable overhead spending and efficiency variances.arrow_forwardaarrow_forward
