Xander ManufacturingCompany manufactures blue rugs, using wool and dye as direct materials. One rug is budgeted to use 36skeins of wool at a cost of $2 per skein and 0.8 gallons of dye at a cost of $6 per gallon. All other materials are indirect. At the beginning of the year Xander has an inventory of 458,000 skeins of wool at a costof $961,800 and 4,000 gallons of dye at a cost of $23,680. Target ending inventory of wool and dye is zero.Xander uses the FIFO inventory cost-flow method.Xander blue rugs are very popular and demand is high, but because of capacity constraints the firmwill produce only 200,000 blue rugs per year. The budgeted selling price is $2,000 each. There are no rugs inbeginning inventory. Target ending inventory of rugs is also zero.Xander makes rugs by hand, but uses a machine to dye the wool. Thus, overhead costs are accumulated in two cost pools—one for weaving and the other for dyeing.…arrow_forward
- Flexible budgets, 4-variance analysis. (CMA, adapted) Wilson Products uses standard costing. It allocates manufacturing overhead (both variable and fixed) to products on the basis of standard direct manufacturing labor-hours (DLH). Wilson Products develops its manufacturing overhead rate from the current annual budget. The manufacturing overhead budget for 2017 is based on budgeted output of 672,000 units, requiring 3,360,000 DLH. The company is able to schedule production uniformly throughout the year. A total of 72,000 output units requiring 321,000 DLH was produced during May 2017. Manufacturing overhead (MOH) costs incurred for May amounted to $355,800. The actual costs, compared with the annual budget and 1/12 of the annual budget, are as follows: Calculate the following amounts for Wilson Products for May 2017: Total manufacturing overhead costs allocated Variable manufacturing overhead spending variance Fixed manufacturing overhead spending variance Variable manufacturing…arrow_forwardH.
