Exam 7: Flexible Budgets, Variances, and Management Control: I

If a purchasing agent is able to negotiate a price lower than that set by the current budget by purchasing direct materials of similar quality

If a company has a favourable efficiency variance, it uses less inputs than were budgeted for the output units achieved.

Use the information below to answer the following question(s).Robb Industries Inc.(RII), developed standard costs for direct material and direct labour.In 2019, RII estimated the following standard costs for one of their major products, the 10-litre plastic container. During June 2020, RII produced and sold 5,000 containers using 490 kilograms of direct materials at an average actual cost per kilogram of $32 and 250 direct manufacturing labour-hours at an average actual wage of $15.25 per hour. -June's direct material rate variance is

Use the information below to answer the following question(s).The following data for a pottery company pertain to the production of 2,000 clay pots during July.Direct Materials (all materials purchased were used): Direct Manufacturing Labour: -What is the direct materials rate variance for the clay pots?

The direct materials mix variance is the

Which of the following statements about benchmarks is TRUE?

The input standard cost per completed unit may be calculated by

Standards differ from budget amounts because standards change from onetime period to the next.

Performance variance analysis can be used in activity-based costing systems.

Flexible budget quantity computations should be focused at the appropriate level of the cost hierarchy.
