The Gourmand Cooking School runs short cooking courses at its small campus. Management has identified two cost drivers it uses for budgeting purposes-the number of courses and the total number of students. For example, the school might run two courses in a month and have a total of 62 students enrolled in those two courses. Data concerning the company's cost formulas appear below: Instructor wages Classroom supplies Utilities Campus rent Insurance Administrative expenses Fixed Cost per Cost per Cost per Month Student $ 300 $1,220 $5,200 $2,200 $ 3,900 Revenue Instructor wages Classroom supplies Utilities Campus rent Insurance. Administrative expenses. Course $ 2,960 $ 85 $45 56 For example, administrative expenses should be $3,900 per month plus $45 per course plus $6 per student. The company's sales should average $860 per student. The company planned to run four courses with a total of 62 students; however, it actually ran four courses with a total of only 56 students. The actual operating results for September were as follows: Actual $ 50,420 $ 11,120 $ 18,450 $ 1,970 $ 5,200 $ 2,340 $ 3,878

Use the following information for Problems 9-67 through 9-69: Ladan Suriman, controller for Healthy Pet Company, has been instructed to develop a flexible budget for overhead costs. The company produces two types of dog food. BasicDiet is a standard mixture for healthy dogs. SpecialDiet is a reduced protein formulation for older dogs with health problems. The two dog foods use common raw materials in different proportions. The company expects to produce 80,000 bags of each product during the coming year. BasicDiet requires 0.20 direct labor hour per bag, and SpecialDiet requires 0.30 direct labor hour per bag. Ladan has developed the following fixed and variable costs for each of the four overhead items: Problem 9-68 Flexible Budget for Various Production Levels Refer to the information for Healthy Pet Company on the previous page. Required: 1. Calculate the direct labor hours required for production that is 10% higher than expected. Calculate the direct labor hours required for production that is 20% lower than expected. 2. Prepare an overhead budget that reflects production that is 10% higher than expected and for production that is 20% lower than expected. (Hint: Use total direct labor hours calculated in Requirement 1.)

Assume that Healthy Pet actually produced 100,000 bags of BasicDiet and 90,000 bags of SpecialDiet. The actual overhead costs incurred were as follows: Required: 1. Calculate the number of direct labor hours budgeted for actual production of the two products. 2. Prepare a performance report for the period based on actual production. 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Based on the report, would you judge any of the variances to be significant? Can you think of some possible reasons for the variances?
Advent Software uses standards to manage the cost of the programming staff. There are two programmer levels, Level 1 and Level 2. Level 1 programmers normally work on the easier projects. Level 1 and Level 2 programmers are paid 25 and 35 per hour, respectively. It has been determined from experience that Level 2 programmers can complete 50 lines of code per hour. If a Level 1 programmer is assigned to a Level 2 task, the programming work will be slower than the Level 2 time standard, but will be accomplished at a lower labor rate. During a recent week, a Level 2 project was assigned to a Level 1 programmer. The programmer worked 40 hours and completed 1,400 lines of code. a. Determine the direct labor time variance for this worker. b. Determine the direct labor rate variance for this worker. c. Using the information in (a) and (b), is it more cost effective to use a Level 1 worker or a Level 2 worker on a Level 2 project?
