Exercise 10-4 (Algo) Direct Labor and Variable Manufacturing Overhead Variances [LO10-2, LO10-3] Erie Company manufactures a mobile fitness device called the Jogging Mate. The company uses standards to control its costs. The labor standards that have been set for one Jogging Mate are as follows: During August, 9,105 hours of direct labor time were needed to make 19,100 units of the Jogging Mate. The direct labor cost totaled $51,899 for the month. Required: What is the standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to makes 19,100 Jogging Mates? What is the standard labor cost allowed (SH �� ) to make 19,100 Jogging Mates? What is the labor spending variance? What is the labor rate variance and the labor efficiency variance? The budgeted variable manufacturing overhead rate is $4.50 per direct labor-hour. During August, the company incurred $45,525 in variable manufacturing overhead cost. Compute the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances for the month. (For requirements 3 through 5, indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations.)

- Variable Costing, Absorption Costing During its first year of operations, Snobegon, Inc. (located in Lake Snobegon, Minnesota), produced 40,000 plastic snow scoops. Snow scoops are oversized shovel-type scoops that are used to push snow away. Unit sales were 38,800 scoops. Fixed overhead was applied at $0.75 per unit produced. Fixed overhead was underapplied by $2,500. This fixed overhead variance was closed to Cost of Goods Sold. There was no variable overhead variance. The results of the year's operations are as follows (on an absorption-costing basis): Sales (38,800 units @ $20) $776,000 Less: Cost of goods sold 546,460 Gross margin $229,540 Less: Selling and administrative expenses (all fixed) 185,500 Operating income $ 44,040 Required: Question Content Area 1.
