Gitano Products operates a job-order costing system and applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of direct materials used in production (not on the basis of raw materials purchased). Its predetermined overhead rate was based on a cost formula that estimated $800,000 of manufacturing overhead for an estimated allocation base of $500,000 direct material dollars to be used in production. The company has provided the following actual data for the just completed year: Purchase of raw materials Direct labor cost Required: Manufacturing overhead costs: Indirect labor Property taxes Depreciation of equipment Maintenance Insurance.. Rent, building Raw Materials Work in Process Finished Goods $510,000 $90,000 $170,000 $48,000 $260,000 $95,000 $7,000 $180,000 Beginning Ending $20,000 $80,000 $150,000 $70,000 $260,000 $400,000 a.

After analyzing differences, companies find the reasons for the variance so that the necessary steps should be taken to correct that variance.
