Direct-cost and
In 2017, Greenspace expected to make and sell 160,000 backpacks; each was budgeted to use 2 yards of fabric and require 0.5 hours of direct labor work. The company expected to pay $2 per yard for fabric and compensate workers at an hourly wage of $12. Greenspace has no variable overhead costs, but budgeted $800,000 for fixed manufacturing overhead in 2017.
In 2017, Greenspace actually made 180,000 backpacks and sold 144,000 of them for a total revenue of $2,592,000.
The costs incurred were as follows:
| Fixed |
$ 875,000 |
| Fabric costs (370,000 yards bought and used) | $ 758,500 |
| Direct manufacturing labor costs (100,000 hours) | $1,260,000 |

Required
- a. Direct materials efficiency variance
- b. Direct materials price variance
- c. Direct manufacturing labor efficiency variance
- d. Direct manufacturing labor price variance
- e. Fixed overhead flexible-

Cool Car Motors assembles and sells motor vehicles and uses standard costing. Actual data relating to April and May 2014 are as follows:
The selling price per vehicle is $29,000. The budgeted level of production used to calculate the budgeted fixed manufacturing cost per unit is 500 units. There are no price, efficiency, or spending variances. Any production-volume variance is written off to cost of goods sold in the month in which it occurs.
Requirements:
Prepare April and May 2014 income statements for Cool Car Motors under (a) variable costing and (b) absorption costing.
Prepare a numerical reconciliation and explanation of the difference between operating income for each month under variable costing and absorption costing.
