Exam 4: Predetermined Overhead Rates and Overhead Analysis in a Standard Costing System

Acuff Corporation applies manufacturing overhead to products on the basis of standard machine-hours. Budgeted and actual overhead costs for the most recent month appear below: The company based its original budget on 6,200 machine-hours. The company actually worked 6,560 machine-hours during the month. The standard hours allowed for the actual output of the month totaled 6,420 machine-hours. What was the overall fixed manufacturing overhead budget variance for the month?

Dori Castings is a job order shop that uses a standard cost system. Manufacturing overhead costs are applied on the basis of standard direct labor-hours. A volume variance will exist for Dori in a month where:

When computing standard cost variances, the difference between actual and standard price multiplied by actual quantity yields a(n):

A manufacturing company uses a standard costing system in which standard machine-hours (MHs) is the measure of activity. Data from the company's flexible budget for manufacturing overhead are given below: The following data pertain to operations for the most recent period: -The fixed manufacturing overhead budget variance for the period is closest to:

Oldham Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on variable manufacturing overhead cost of $4.00 per machine-hour and fixed manufacturing overhead cost of $87,822 per period. If the denominator level of activity is 4,100 machine-hours, the fixed component in the predetermined overhead rate would be:

At the beginning of last year, Tari Corporation budgeted $300,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead and chose a denominator level of activity of 600,000 machine-hours. At the end of the year, Tari's fixed manufacturing overhead budget variance was $9,000 favorable. Its fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance was $15,000 favorable. Actual direct labor-hours for the year were 625,000. What was Tari's total standard machine-hours allowed for last year's output?

A furniture manufacturer uses a standard costing system in which standard machine-hours (MHs) is the measure of activity. Data from the company's flexible budget for manufacturing overhead are given below: The following data pertain to operations for the most recent period: -The overhead applied to products during the period was closest to:

Kingdon Corporation's manufacturing overhead includes $7.10 per machine-hour for variable manufacturing overhead and $207,000 per period for fixed manufacturing overhead. Required: Determine the predetermined overhead rate for the denominator level of activity of 4,600 machine-hours.

Tropiano Electronics Corporation has a standard cost system in which it applies manufacturing overhead to products on the basis of standard machine-hours (MHs). The company had budgeted its fixed manufacturing overhead cost at $62,100 for the month and its level of activity at 3,200 MHs. The actual total fixed manufacturing overhead was $61,600 for the month and the actual level of activity was 3,000 MHs. What was the fixed manufacturing overhead budget variance for the month to the nearest dollar?

Pizzi, Inc. had the following fixed manufacturing overhead variances last year: Pizzi uses machine-hours as an activity base for overhead and used 48,000 machine-hours as the denominator activity level for the year. Total actual fixed manufacturing overhead was $150,000. The actual number of machine-hours incurred were 50,000. What were Pizzi's standard hours allowed for actual output?

Reidenbach Corporation applies manufacturing overhead to products on the basis of standard machine-hours. The budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the most recent month was $17,100 and the actual fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the month was $17,450. The company based its original budget on 4,500 machine-hours. The standard hours allowed for the actual output of the month totaled 4,810 machine-hours. What was the overall fixed manufacturing overhead budget variance for the month?
