Question

Genie in a Bottle Company (GBC) manufactures plastic two-liter bottles for the beverage industry. The cost standards per 100 two-liter bottles are as follows:

At the beginning of July, GBC management planned to produce 500,000 bottles. The actual number of bottles produced for July was 540,000 bottles. The actual costs for July of the current year were as follows:

Cost Category	Actual Cost for the Month Ended July 31
Direct labor		$7,197
Direct materials		31,306
Factory overhead		1,527
	Total		$40,030

Enter all amounts as positive numbers.

a. Prepare the July manufacturing standard cost budget (direct labor, direct materials, and factory overhead) for WBC, assuming planned production.

c. The Company's actual costs were $902 than budgeted. direct labor and direct material cost variances more than offset a small factory overhead cost variance.

Definition Definition System of assigning an estimated cost to the product (instead of the actual cost) so that the product cost can be determined well in advance and the pricing of the product can be done on time. Since the actual cost cannot be predicted at the initial stage of the production process, the estimated cost is recorded in the books. Any deviation of the estimated cost of the actual cost is adjusted in the books at the end of the period.
