Concept explainers
Budgeting; direct material usage,
Xander blue rugs are very popular and demand is high, but because of capacity constraints the firm will produce only 200,000 blue rugs per year. The budgeted selling price is $2,000 each. There are no rugs in beginning inventory. Target ending inventory of rugs is also zero.
Xander makes rugs by hand, but uses a machine to dye the wool. Thus,
There is no direct manufacturing labor cost for dyeing. Xander budgets 62 direct manufacturing labor-hours to weave a rug at a budgeted rate of $13 per hour. It budgets 0.2 machine-hours to dye each skein in the dyeing process.
The following table presents the budgeted overhead costs for the dyeing and weaving cost pools:
Dyeing | Weaving | |

- 1. Prepare a direct materials usage budget in both units and dollars. Required
- 2. Calculate the budgeted overhead allocation rates for weaving and dyeing.
- 3. Calculate the budgeted unit cost of a blue rug for the year.
- 4. Prepare a revenues budget for blue rugs for the year, assuming Xander sells (a) 200,000 or (b) 185,000 blue rugs (that is, at two different sales levels).
- 5. Calculate the budgeted cost of goods sold for blue rugs under each sales assumption.
- 6. Find the budgeted gross margin for blue rugs under each sales assumption.
- 7. What actions might you take as a manager to improve profitability if sales drop to 185,000 blue rugs?

- Salisbury Bottle Company manufactures plastic two-liter bottles for the beverage industry. The cost standards per 100 two-liter bottles are as follows: At the beginning of March, Salisburys management planned to produce 500,000 bottles. The actual number of bottles produced for March was 525,000 bottles. The actual costs for March of the current year were as follows: a. Prepare the March manufacturing standard cost budget (direct labor, direct materials, and factory overhead) for Salisbury, assuming planned production. b. Prepare a budget performance report for manufacturing costs, showing the total cost variances for direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead for March. c. Interpret the budget performance report.arrow_forwardCloud Shoes manufactures recovery sandals and is planning on producing 12.000 units in March and 11,500 in April. Each sandal requires 1.2 yards if material, which costs $3.00 per yard. The companys policy is to have enough material on hand to equal 15% of next months production needs and to maintain a finished goods inventory equal to 20% of the next months production needs. What is the budgeted cost of purchases for March?arrow_forwardJoyT Company manufactures Maxi Dolls for sale in toy stores. In planning for this year, JoyT estimated variable factory overhead of 600,000 and fixed factory overhead of 400,000. JoyT uses a standard costing system, and factory overhead is allocated to units produced using standard direct labor hours. The level of activity budgeted for this year was 10,000 direct labor hours, and JoyT used 10,300 actual direct labor hours. Based on the output accomplished during this year, 9,900 standard direct labor hours should have been used. Actual variable factory overhead was 596,000, and actual fixed factory overhead was 410,000 for the year. Based on this information, the variable factory overhead controllable variance for JoyT for this year was: a. 24,000 unfavorable. b. 2,000 unfavorable. c. 4,000 favorable. d. 22,000 favorable.arrow_forward
