- Salisbury Bottle Company manufactures plastic two-liter bottles for the beverage industry. The cost standards per 100 two-liter bottles are as follows: At the beginning of March, Salisburys management planned to produce 500,000 bottles. The actual number of bottles produced for March was 525,000 bottles. The actual costs for March of the current year were as follows: a. Prepare the March manufacturing standard cost budget (direct labor, direct materials, and factory overhead) for Salisbury, assuming planned production. b. Prepare a budget performance report for manufacturing costs, showing the total cost variances for direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead for March. c. Interpret the budget performance report.arrow_forwardLens & Shades sells sunglasses for $37 each and is estimating sales of 21,000 units in January and 19,000 in February.

- Using High-Low to Calculate Predicted Total Variable Cost and Total Cost for Budgeted Output Refer to the information for Pizza Vesuvio on the previous page. Assume that this information was used to construct the following formula for monthly labor cost. TotalLaborCost=5,237+(7.40EmployeeHours) Required: Assume that 675 employee hours are budgeted for the month of September. Use the total labor cost formula for the following calculations: 1. Calculate total variable labor cost for September. 2. Calculate total labor cost for September.arrow_forwardBusiness Specialty, Inc., manufactures two staplers: small and regular. The standard quantities of direct labor and direct materials per unit for the year are as follows: The standard price paid per pound of direct materials is 1.60. The standard rate for labor is 8.00. Overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor hours. A plantwide rate is used. Budgeted overhead for the year is as follows: The company expects to work 12,000 direct labor hours during the year; standard overhead rates are computed using this activity level. For every small stapler produced, the company produces two regular staplers. Actual operating data for the year are as follows: a. Units produced: small staplers, 35,000; regular staplers, 70,000. b. Direct materials purchased and used: 56,000 pounds at 1.5513,000 for the small stapler and 43,000 for the regular stapler. There were no beginning or ending direct materials inventories. c. Direct labor: 14,800 hours3,600 hours for the small stapler and 11,200 hours for the regular stapler. Total cost of direct labor: 114,700. d. Variable overhead: 607,500. e. Fixed overhead: 350,000. Required: 1. Prepare a standard cost sheet showing the unit cost for each product. 2. Compute the direct materials price and usage variances for each product. Prepare journal entries to record direct materials activity. 3. Compute the direct labor rate and efficiency variances for each product. Prepare journal entries to record direct labor activity. 4. Compute the variances for fixed and variable overhead. Prepare journal entries to record overhead activity. All variances are closed to Cost of Goods Sold. 5. Assume that you know only the total direct materials used for both products and the total direct labor hours used for both products. Can you compute the total direct materials and direct labor usage variances? Explain.arrow_forwardCardiff Inc. manufactures men’s sport shirts for large stores. It produces a single quality shirt in lots of a dozen according to each customer’s order and attaches the store’s label. The standard costs for a dozen shirts include the following: During October, Cardiff worked on three orders for shirts. Job cost records for the month disclose the following: The following information is also available: Cardiff purchased 95,000 yards of materials during October at a cost of $53,200. The materials price variance is recorded when goods are purchased, and all inventories are carried at standard cost. Direct labor incurred amounted to $112,750 during October. According to payroll records, production employees were paid $10.25 per hour. Overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor hours. Factory overhead totaling $22,800 was incurred during October. A total of $288,000 was budgeted for overhead for the year, based on estimated production at the plant’s normal capacity of 48,000 dozen shirts per year. Overhead is 60% fixed and 40% variable at this level of production. There was no work in process at October 1. During October, Lots 30 and 31 were completed, and all materials were issued for Lot 32, which was 80% completed as to labor and overhead. Required: Prepare a schedule computing the October total standard cost of Lots 30, 31, and 32. Prepare a schedule computing the materials price variance for October and indicate whether it is favorable or unfavorable. For each lot produced during October, prepare schedules computing the following (indicate whether favorable or unfavorable): Materials quantity variance in yards. Labor efficiency variance in hours. (Hint: Don’t forget the percentage of completion.) Labor rate variance in dollars. Prepare a schedule computing the total flexible-budget and production-volume overhead variances for October and indicate whether they are favorable or unfavorable. Give some reasons as to why the production-volume variance may be unfavorable and why it is important to correct the situation.arrow_forward
