The standard materials cost to produce 1 unit of Product R is 6 pounds of material at a standard price of $50 per pound. In manufacturing 8,000 units, 47,000 pounds of material were used at a cost of $51 per pound. -What is the total direct materials cost variance?

Based on predicted production of 25,000 units, Marvel Mix Co. anticipates $175,000 of variable costs and $137,500 of fixed costs. What are the flexible budget amounts of total costs for 28,000 units?

A company's flexible budget for 12,000 units of production showed per unit contribution margin of $3.00 and fixed costs, $20,000. The operating income expected if the company produces and sells 18,000 units is:

Identify the four steps in the budgetary control process.

Clevenger Co. planned to produce and sell 30,000 units with a selling price of $10 per unit. Variable costs are expected to be $4 per unit and fixed costs are expected to be $80,000. Clevenger actually produced and sold 37,000 units. Using a contribution margin format: Prepare a flexible budget income statement for the actual level of sales and production.

Use the following data to find the direct labor rate variance if the company produced 7,000 units of product during the period. $\text {Standard:}$ Direct labor ( 3.2. per unit @\ 7.) \ 22.40 per unit Actual cost incurred: Direct labor (24,500.@\ 7.50/ .) \ 183,750

Another name for a static budget is a variable budget.

The standard materials cost to produce 1 unit of Product R is 6 pounds of material at a standard price of $50 per pound. In manufacturing 8,000 units, 47,000 pounds of material were used at a cost of $51 per pound. - What is the direct materials quantity variance?

Jake Co. has prepared the following fixed budget for the year, assuming production and sales of 30,000 units. This level of production represents 80% of capacity. Jake Co. Fixed Budget for Year Ending December 31 $\text { Jake Co. Fixed Budget for Year Ending December } 31$ Sales \ 1,500,000 Cost of goods sold: Direct materials \ 540,000 Direct labor 300,000 Indirect materials (variable) 15,000 Indirect labor (variable) 21,000 Depreciation 180,000 Salaries 90,000 Utilities ( 80\% fixed) 54,000 Maintenance ( 40\% variable) 33,000 1,233,000 Gross profit \ 267,000 Operating expenses: Commistions \ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots \ 45,000 Advertising (fixed) \ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots 60,000 Wages (variable) \ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots 15,000 Rent \ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots 30,000 Total operating Expentes \ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots 150,000 Income from operations \ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots Calculate the following flexible budget amounts at the indicated levels of capacity: Operations at 60\% of Capacity Operations at 75\% of Capacity Sales Total variable costs Total fixed costs Income from operations

A company uses the following standard costs to produce a single unit of output. Direct materials 6 pounds at \ 0.90 per pound =\ 5.40 Direct labor 0.5 hour at \ 12.00 per hour =\ 6.00 Manufactuning overhead 0.5 hour at \ 4.80 per hour =\ 2.40 During the latest month, the company purchased and used 58,000 pounds of direct materials at a price of $1.00 per pound to produce 10,000 units of output. Direct labor costs for the month totaled $56,350 based on 4,900 direct labor hours worked. Variable manufacturing overhead costs incurred totaled $15,000 and fixed manufacturing overhead incurred was $10,400. -Based on this information, the direct labor rate variance for the month was:

A flexible budget is based on a single predicted amount of sales or other activity measure.

If ending variance account balances are material, they should always be closed directly to Cost of Goods Sold.

Jefferson Co. uses the following standard to produce a single unit of its product: variable overhead $6 (2 hrs. per unit @ $3/hr.). Actual data for the month show variable overhead costs of $150,000, and 24,000 units produced. The total variable overhead variance is:

Wren Company determined that in the production of their products last period; they had a favorable price variance and an unfavorable quantity variance for direct materials. What might be the cause(s) of this pattern of variances?
