- The Costa Company uses a flexible budget and standard costs to aid planning and control of its machining manufacturing operations. Its costing system for manufacturing has two direct-cost categories (direct materials and direct manufacturing labor-both variable) and two overhead-cost categories (variable manufacturing overhead and fixed manufacturing overhead, both allocated using direct manufacturing labor-hours). The following actual results are for August: E (Click the icon to view the results.)

We need to calculate the amount of the allocation base in order to know how Mystic Inc. computed its predetermined overhead rate for 2010. Equation to compute the Predetermined Overhead rate: Given: Predetermined Overhead rate = Predetermined rate: $4.25 per direct labor dollar Budgeted Factory Overhead: $1,275,000 Solution: $4.25 = ? = $300,000 = = $300,000 is the budgeted direct labor cost.arrow_forward

Dazzle Party uses normal costing and assigns manufacturing overhead (MOH) costs using labour hours as the allocation base. Budgeted and actual production data for the year 2023 is provided below. Budget $60,000 120,000 Actual $52,000 MOH costs Labour-hours 110,000 Required: Calculate the difference between the allocated MOH cost and the actual MOH cost incurred in 2023. Clearly state whether this difference represents a case of under-allocation or over-allocation of MOH.arrow_forwardTailored Clothing is a manufacturer of designer suits. The cost of each suit is the sum of three variable costs (direct material costs, direct manufacturing labor costs, and manufacturing overhead costs) and one fixed-cost category (manufacturing overhead costs). Variable manufacturing overhead cost is allocated to each suit on the basis of budgeted direct manufacturing labor-hours per suit. For June 2017, each suit is budgeted to take 3 labor-hours. Budgeted variable manufacturing overhead cost per labor-hour is $12. The budgeted number of suits to be manufactured in June 2017 is 1,060. Actual variable manufacturing overhead costs in June 2017 were $49,896 for 1,020 suits started and completed. There were no beginning or ending inventories of suits. Actual direct manufacturing labor-hours for June were 4,536. 1. Compute the flexible-budget variance, the spending variance, and the efficiency variance for variable manufacturing overhead. 2. Comment on the results.arrow_forward
