Georgia Gasket Co. budgets 8,000 direct labor hours for the year. The total overhead budget is expected to amount to 20,000. The standard cost for a unit of the companys product estimates the variable overhead as follows: The actual data for the period follow: Using the four-variance method, calculate the overhead variances. (Hint: First compute the budgeted fixed overhead rate.)

Digital Solutions Inc. uses flexible budgets that are based on the following data: Prepare a flexible selling and administrative expenses budget for October for sales volumes of 500,000, 750,000, and 1,000,000.
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.
Performance Report Based on Budgeted and Actual Levels of Production Balboa Company budgeted production of 4,500 units with the following amounts: At the end of the year, Balboa had the following actual costs for production of 4,700 units: Required: 1. Calculate the budgeted amounts for each cost category listed above for the 4,500 budgeted units. 2. Prepare a performance report using a budget based on expected (budgeted) production of 4,500 units. 3. Prepare a performance report using a budget based on the actual level of production of 4,700 units.
Refer to the data in Exercise 9.15. Required: 1. 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?
Marten Company has a cost-benefit policy to investigate any variance that is greater than 1,000 or 10% of budget, whichever is larger. Actual results for the previous month indicate the following: The company should investigate: a. neither the materials variance nor the labor variance. b. the materials variance only. c. the labor variance only. d. both the materials variance and the labor variance.
Cortez Manufacturing, Inc. has the following flexible budget formulas and amounts: Actual results for May for the production and sale of 5,000 units were as follows: Prepare a performance report for May that includes the identification of the favorable and unfavorable variances.
Rosenberry Company computed the following revenue variances for January: Revenue price variance (350,000) Favorable Revenue volume variance50,000 Unfavorable Assuming that the planned selling price per unit was 10 and that actual sales were 175,000 units, determine the following: a. Actual selling price of January. b. Planned number of units that were to be sold in January.
Using High-Low to Calculate Predicted Total Variable Cost and Total Cost for Budgeted Output Refer to the information for Pizza Vesuvio on the previous page. Assume that this information was used to construct the following formula for monthly labor cost. TotalLaborCost=5,237+(7.40EmployeeHours) Required: Assume that 675 employee hours are budgeted for the month of September. Use the total labor cost formula for the following calculations: 1. Calculate total variable labor cost for September. 2. Calculate total labor cost for September.
Nashler Company has the following budgeted variable costs per unit produced: Budgeted fixed overhead costs per month include supervision of 98,000, depreciation of 76,000, and other overhead of 245,000. Required: 1. Prepare a flexible budget for all costs of production for the following levels of production: 160,000 units, 170,000 units, and 175,000 units. 2. What is the per-unit total product cost for each of the production levels from Requirement 1? (Round each unit cost to the nearest cent.) 3. What if Nashler Companys cost of maintenance rose to 0.22 per unit? How would that affect the unit product costs calculated in Requirement 2?
