Standard Cost Information
Quantity | Cost | |
Direct Materials | 2 parts | $ 0.15 per part |
Direct Labor | 0.02 hours | 8.00 per hour |
Variable Manufacturing |
0.02 hours | 10.00 per hour |
Fixed Manufacturing Overhead ($28,500 for static budget volume of 95,000 units and 1,900 hours, or $15 per hour)__________________________________________________________________
Actual Cost Information
Direct Materials | (209,000 parts @ $0.20 per part) | $41,800 |
Direct Labor | (1.600 hours @ $8.15 per hour) | 13,040 |
Variable Manufacturing Overhead | 9,000 | |
Fixed Manufacturing Overhead | 26,000 |
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.

Best Around, Inc., is a manufacturer of vacuums and uses standard costing. Manufacturing overhead (both variable and xed) is allocated to products on the basis of budgeted machine-hours. In2017, budgeted xed manufacturing overhead cost was $17,000,000. Budgeted variable manufacturing overhead was $10 per machine-hour. The denominator level was 1,000,000 machine-hours.arrow_forward
