Question 3
Owen plc manufactures one product, and the entire product is sold as soon as it is
produced. The company operates a standard costing system and analysis of
variances is made every month. The standard cost card for a product is as follows.
Materials (4 Kg at £4 per Kg)
Labour (4 Hours at £5 per hr)
Variable overheads (5 hrs at £2 per hr)
Fixed overheads (6 hrs at £3 per hr)
Budgeted selling price is £80 per unit
Budgeted production
Budgeted sales
There is no opening inventory
The actual results are as follows:
Sales: 8,400 units for £613,200
Production: 9,900 units
Actual costs:
Materials (35,464 kg): £163,455

Question 7
Howard Bannister Company budgets the following per-unit costs for the upcoming year:
Direct Material
Direct Labor
Variable Selling Expenses
Sales commission
$32.54
$21.24
$15.70
$20.10
Howard budgets producing 1,017 units and having 27,370 of total variable overhead, 49,540
of total fixed overhead, and 30,387 of total fixed S&A costs for the year. Howard allocates
overhead based on units produced.
What is the per-unit cost of inventory under variable costing (i.e., assuming budgets are
correct, how much will be the total amount debited to WIP if Howard produces one additional
unit)? Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g., 192.37).
QUESTION 18
