The following standards have been established for one unit of Mip: There were no inventories of any kind on August 1. During August, the following events occurred: Purchased 15,000 board metres at the total cost of $24,000. Used 12,000 board metres to produce 2,100 Mips. Used 1,700 hours of direct labour time at a total cost of $20,060. -(Appendix 10B)To record the use of direct materials in production,the general ledger would include what entry to the Materials Quantity Variance account?

Henley Company uses a standard cost system that applies manufacturing overhead to units of product on the basis of direct labour hours.For the month of January,the fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance was $2,220 favourable.The company uses a fixed manufacturing overhead rate of $1.85 per direct labour hour.What were the standard direct labour hours allowed for the month's output in January?

King Company estimated that it would operate its manufacturing facilities at 800,000 direct labour hours for the year, which served as the denominator activity in the predetermined overhead rate. The total budgeted manufacturing overhead for the year was $2,000,000, of which $1,600,000 was variable and $400,000 was fixed. The standard variable overhead rate was $2 per direct labour hour. The standard direct labour time was 3 direct labour hours per unit. The actual results for the year are presented below: -What was the variable overhead spending variance for the year?

The Claus Company makes and sells a single product and uses standard costing. During January, the company actually used 8,700 direct labour hours (DLHs) and produced 3,000 units of product. The standard cost card for one unit of product includes the following: Variable Factory Overhead: 3.0 DLHs @ $4.00 per DLH. Fixed Factory Overhead: 3.0 DLHs. @ $3.50 per DLH. For January, the company incurred $22,000 of actual fixed overhead costs and recorded an $875 favourable volume variance. -What was the budgeted fixed factory overhead cost for January?

(Appendix 10B) The Dexon Company makes and sells a single product, called a Mip, and employs a standard costing system. The following standards have been established for one unit of Mip: There were no inventories of any kind on August 1. During August, the following events occurred: Purchased 15,000 board metres at the total cost of $24,000. Used 12,000 board metres to produce 2,100 Mips.
