Requirements
1. Compute the cost and efficiency variances for direct materials and direct labor.
2. For manufacturing overhead, compute the variable overhead cost and efficiency variances and the fixed overhead cost and volume variances.
3. Hear Smart’s management used better quality materials during September. Discuss the trade-off between the two direct material variances.

- Activity-based costing Brooklyn Cycles produces custom bicycles and has used a traditional manufacturing overhead application rate based on direct labor hours. Currently, overhead is applied at the rate of $26/DLH. Brooklyn is now considering using activity-based driver rates to improve manufacturing overhead costing accuracy.

- Hart Manufacturing makes three products. Each product requires manufacturing operations in three departments: A, B, and C. The labor-hour requirements, by department, are as follows: During the next production period the labor-hours available are 450 in department A, 350 in department B, and 50 in department C. The profit contributions per unit are 25 for product 1, 28 for product 2, and 30 for product 3. a. Formulate a linear programming model for maximizing total profit contribution. b. Solve the linear program formulated in part (a). How much of each product should be produced, and what is the projected total profit contribution? c. After evaluating the solution obtained in part (b), one of the production supervisors noted that production setup costs had not been taken into account. She noted that setup costs are 400 for product 1, 550 for product 2, and 600 for product 3. If the solution developed in part (b) is to be used, what is the total profit contribution after taking into account the setup costs? d. Management realized that the optimal product mix, taking setup costs into account, might be different from the one recommended in part (b). Formulate a mixed-integer linear program that takes setup costs provided in part (c) into account. Management also stated that we should not consider making more than 175 units of product 1, 150 units of product 2, or 140 units of product 3. e. Solve the mixed-integer linear program formulated in part (d). How much of each product should be produced and what is the projected total profit contribution? Compare this profit contribution to that obtained in part (c).arrow_forwardDirect materials and direct labor variance analysis Lenni Clothing Co. manufactures clothing in a small manufacturing facility.
