Golden Food Products produces special-formula pet food. The company carries no inventories. The master budget calls
for the company to manufacture and sell 120,000 cases at a budgeted price of $60 per case this year. The standard
direct cost sheet for one case of pet food follows:
Direct
materials
(3 pounds @ $2)
(0.25 hours @
$ 6
Direct labor
8
$32)
Variable overhead is applied based on direct labor-hours. The variable overhead rate is $16 per direct labor-hour. The
fixed overhead rate (at the master budget level of activity) is $12 per unit. All nonmanufacturing costs are fixed and are
budgeted at $2.2 million for the coming year.
At the end of the year, the costs analyst reported that the sales activity variance for the year was $336,000 favorable.
The following is the actual income statement (in thousands of dollars) for the year for Golden Food Products:
