- 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_forwardPrepare a Flexible Budget Performance Report Vulcan Flyovers offers scenic overflights of Mount St. Helens, the volcano in Washington State that explosively erupted in 1982. Data concerning the company’s operations in July appear below: The company measures its activity in terms of flights. Customers can buy individual tickets for overflights or hire an entire plane for an overflight at a discount. Required: 1. Using Exhibit 9–8 as your guide, prepare a flexible budget performance report for July that includes revenue and spending variances and activity variances. 2. Which of the variances should be of concern to management? Explain.

Eric Williams is a cost accountant and business analyst for Diamond Design Company (DDC), which manufactures expensive brass doorknobs. DDC uses two direct-cost categories: direct materials and direct manufacturing labor. Williams feels that manufacturing overhead is most closely related to material usage. Therefore, DDC allocates manufacturing overhead to production based upon pounds of materials used. At the beginning of 2017, DDC budgeted annual production of 420,000 doorknobs and adopted the following standards for each doorknob:arrow_forward
- Preparing a flexible budget computing standard cost variances Morton Recliners manufactures leather recliners and uses flexible budgeting and a standard cost system. Morton allocates overhead based on yards of direct materials. The company’s performance report includes the following selected data: Requirements Prepare a flexible budget based on the actual number of recliners sold. Compute the cost variance and the efficiency variance for direct materials and for direct labor. For manufacturing overhead, compute the variable overhead cost, variable overhead efficiency, fixed overhead cost, and fixed overhead volume variances. Round to the nearest dollar. Have Morton’s managers done a good job or a poor job controlling materials, labor, and overhead costs? Why? Describe how Morton’s managers can benefit from the standard cost system.arrow_forwardFlexible Budgets, Overhead Cost Variances, and Management Control Fixed manufacturing overhead variance analysis The Sourdough Bread Company bakes baguettes for distribution to upscale grocery stores. The company has two direct-cost categories: direct materials and direct manufacturing labor. The Sourdough Bread Company allocates fixed manufacturing overhead to products on the basis of standard direct manufacturing labor-hours. The following is some budget data for the Sourdough Bread Company for 2020. Direct manufacturing labor use 0.02 hours per baguette Fixed manufacturing overhead $3.00 per direct manufacturing labor-hour The following is additional information for the Sourdough Bread Company for the year ended December 31, 2020: Planned (budgeted) output 3,100,000 baguettes Actual production 2,600,000 baguettes Budgeted direct manufacturing labor 62,000 hours Actual direct manufacturing labor…arrow_forwardRefer to Cornerstone Exercise 8.6. Required: 1. Calculate the total budgeted cost of units produced for Play-Disc for the coming year. Show the cost of direct materials, direct labor, and overhead. 2. Prepare a cost of goods sold budget for Play-Disc for the year. 3. What if the beginning inventory of finished goods was 75,200 (for 16,000 units)? How would that affect the cost of goods sold budget? (Assume Play-Disc uses the FIFO method.) Play-Disc makes Frisbee-type plastic discs. Each 12-inch diameter plastic disc has the following manufacturing costs: For the coming year, Play-Disc expects to make 300,000 plastic discs, and to sell 285,000 of them. Budgeted beginning inventory in units is 16,000 with unit cost of 4.75. (There are no beginning or ending inventories of work in process.) Required: 1. Prepare an ending finished goods inventory budget for Play-Disc for the coming year. 2. What if sales increased to 290,000 discs? How would that affect the ending finished goods inventory budget? Calculate the value of budgeted ending finished goods inventory.arrow_forward
- Preparing a performance report Use the flexible budget prepared in P7-6 for the 29,000-unit level of activity and the actual operating results listed below for the 29,000- unit level. Required: 1. Prepare a performance report. 2. List the major reasons why the actual operating income at 29,000 units differs from the master budget operating income at 30,000 units in Figure 7-12. 3.

Compute overhead variances using a two-variance analysis. 2. Compute overhead variances using a three-variance analysis. 3. Illustrate how the two- and three-variance analyses are related to the four-variance analysis. Oerstman, Inc., uses a standard costing system and develops its overhead rates from the current annual budget. The budget is based on an expected annual output of 120,000 units requiring 480,000 direct labor hours. (Practical capacity is 500,000 hours.) Annual budgeted overhead costs total 787,200, of which 556,800 is fixed overhead. A total of 119,400 units using 478,000 direct labor hours were produced during the year. Actual variable overhead costs for the year were 230,600, and actual fixed overhead costs were 556,250. Required: 1. Compute the fixed overhead spending and volume variances. How would you interpret the spending variance? Discuss the possible interpretations of the volume variance. Which is most appropriate for this example? 2. Compute the variable overhead spending and efficiency variances. How is the variable overhead spending variance like the price variances of direct labor and direct materials? How is it different? How is the variable overhead efficiency variance related to the direct labor efficiency variance?arrow_forward
- Determining Budgeted Overhead The overhead application rate for a company is 10 per unit, made up of 6 per unit of fixed overhead and 4 per unit of variable overhead. Normal capacity is 10,000 units. In one month there was a favorable flexible budget variance of 2,500. Actual overhead for the month was 110,000 and actual units produced were 13,125. Based on this information, determine the amount of the budgeted overhead for the actual level of production.arrow_forwardFlexible Budget with Different Levels of Production Balboa Company budgeted the following amounts: Required: Prepare a flexible budget for 4,000 units, 4,500 units, and 5,000 units.arrow_forwardFlexible Budget for Various Levels of Production Budgeted amounts for the year: Required: 1. Prepare a flexible budget for 3,500, 4,000, and 4,500 units. 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Calculate the unit cost at 3,500, 4,000, and 4,500 units. (Note: Round unit costs to the nearest cent.)
