5 Demco Berhad produces a single product and used flexible budgetary control system as part of company's planning. The company assigns the manufacturing overhead costs to production on the basis of machine hours. Below is part of the budgeted overhead cost based on machine hours: Capacity 80% 100% Machine hours Maintenance Supplies 40,000 50,000 RM34,000 RM46,000 RM28,000 RM30,000 During April 2020, the company operated at 85% of machine hours and the actual overhead cost for maintenance and supplies are RM38,750 and RM26,375 respectively. The maintenance cost is a semi variable where there is a step up cost of RM5,000 in the fixed cost element for volumes in excess of 40,000 machine hours. The actual fixed costs remains as budgeted. Calculate the variable cost per machine hour for maintenance cost above. A. RMO.20 per machine hour B. RM0.60 per machine hour C. RMO.70 per machine hour D. RM1.20 per machine hour

Refer to Cornerstone Exercise 8.6. Required: 1. Calculate the total budgeted cost of units produced for Play-Disc for the coming year. Show the cost of direct materials, direct labor, and overhead. 2. Prepare a cost of goods sold budget for Play-Disc for the year. 3. What if the beginning inventory of finished goods was 75,200 (for 16,000 units)? How would that affect the cost of goods sold budget? (Assume Play-Disc uses the FIFO method.) Play-Disc makes Frisbee-type plastic discs. Each 12-inch diameter plastic disc has the following manufacturing costs: For the coming year, Play-Disc expects to make 300,000 plastic discs, and to sell 285,000 of them. Budgeted beginning inventory in units is 16,000 with unit cost of 4.75. (There are no beginning or ending inventories of work in process.) Required: 1. Prepare an ending finished goods inventory budget for Play-Disc for the coming year. 2. What if sales increased to 290,000 discs? How would that affect the ending finished goods inventory budget? Calculate the value of budgeted ending finished goods inventory.
Calculating amount of factory overhead applied to work in process The overhead application rate for a company is 2.50 per unit, made up of 1.00 for fixed overhead and 1.50 for variable overhead. Normal capacity is 10,000 units. In one month, there was an unfavorable flexible budget variance of 200. Actual overhead for the month was 27,000. What was the amount of the budgeted overhead for the actual level of production?
Nashler Company has the following budgeted variable costs per unit produced: Budgeted fixed overhead costs per month include supervision of 98,000, depreciation of 76,000, and other overhead of 245,000. Required: 1. Prepare a flexible budget for all costs of production for the following levels of production: 160,000 units, 170,000 units, and 175,000 units. 2. What is the per-unit total product cost for each of the production levels from Requirement 1? (Round each unit cost to the nearest cent.) 3. What if Nashler Companys cost of maintenance rose to 0.22 per unit? How would that affect the unit product costs calculated in Requirement 2?
Determining Budgeted Overhead The overhead application rate for a company is 10 per unit, made up of 6 per unit of fixed overhead and 4 per unit of variable overhead. Normal capacity is 10,000 units. In one month there was a favorable flexible budget variance of 2,500. Actual overhead for the month was 110,000 and actual units produced were 13,125. Based on this information, determine the amount of the budgeted overhead for the actual level of production.
Refer to the data in Exercise 9.15. Required: 1. Compute overhead variances using a two-variance analysis. 2. Compute overhead variances using a three-variance analysis. 3. Illustrate how the two- and three-variance analyses are related to the four-variance analysis. Oerstman, Inc., uses a standard costing system and develops its overhead rates from the current annual budget. The budget is based on an expected annual output of 120,000 units requiring 480,000 direct labor hours. (Practical capacity is 500,000 hours.) Annual budgeted overhead costs total 787,200, of which 556,800 is fixed overhead. A total of 119,400 units using 478,000 direct labor hours were produced during the year. Actual variable overhead costs for the year were 230,600, and actual fixed overhead costs were 556,250. Required: 1. Compute the fixed overhead spending and volume variances. How would you interpret the spending variance? Discuss the possible interpretations of the volume variance. Which is most appropriate for this example? 2. Compute the variable overhead spending and efficiency variances. How is the variable overhead spending variance like the price variances of direct labor and direct materials? How is it different? How is the variable overhead efficiency variance related to the direct labor efficiency variance?

Professional labor cost budget Based on the data in Exercise 13-5 and assuming that the average compensation per hour for staff is $36 and for partners is $300. prepare a professional labor cost budget for Day & Spieth, CPAs, for the year ending March 31. 20Y6. Use the following column headings:
ABC Inc. spent a total of $48,000 on factory overhead. Of this, $28,000 was fixed overhead. ABC Inc. had budgeted $27,000 for fixed overhead. Actual machine hours were 5.000. Standard hours for units made were 4,800. The standard variable overhead rate was $4.10. What is the variable overhead rate variance?
