The overall difference between the actual and applied manufacturing overhead is the:

Delaware Corp.prepared a master budget that included $21,360 for direct materials,$33,600 for direct labor,$18,000 for variable overhead,and $46,440 for fixed overhead.Delaware Corp.planned to sell 4,000 units during the period,but actually sold 4,300 units.What would Delaware's direct materials cost be if it used a flexible budget for the period based on actual sales?

Sage Corp.uses a standard cost system to account for the costs of its one product.Standards are 3 pounds of materials at $14 per pound and 4 hours of labor at a standard wage rate of $12.During July,Sage Corp.produced 3,300 units.Materials purchased and used totaled 10,100 pounds at a total cost of $142,650.Payroll totaled $146,780 for 13,150 hours worked.Calculate the: a.direct labor rate variance. b.direct labor efficiency variance.

Avon Co.has a favorable fixed overhead spending variance of $2,800.During February,Avon budgeted to produce 2,500 units,it actually produced 2,400 units,and it budgeted $75,000 for fixed overhead.How much was actually spent on fixed overhead?

Which of the following statements is correct about the way managers set standards for employees?

Dill has a fixed overhead spending variance of $3,900 unfavorable.During July,Dill budgeted production of 4,500 units,it actually produced 4,700 units,and it actually spent $71,400 on fixed overhead.How much was budgeted fixed overhead?

Warner Co.has budgeted fixed overhead of $150,000.Practical capacity is 6,000 units,and budgeted production is 5,000 units.During February,4,800 units were produced and $155,600 was spent on fixed overhead.What is the unexpected (unplanned) capacity variance?

After selling 4,300 units during the period,Dole Corp.prepared a flexible budget that included $22,962 for direct materials,$36,120 for direct labor,$19,350 for variable overhead,and $46,440 for fixed overhead.Dole originally planned its master budget based on sales of 4,000 units.What would total costs have been on the master budget?

In a standard cost system,an unfavorable variance will appear as:

Patton Corp.uses a standard cost system to account for the costs of its one product.Budgeted fixed overhead is $75,000,budgeted production is 2,500 per month,and practical capacity is 3,000 units.During November,Patton produced 2,400 units.Fixed overhead incurred totaled $70,310. Assume Patton calculates its fixed overhead rate based on budgeted production. a.What is the fixed overhead rate? b.What is the fixed overhead volume variance? c.By how much was fixed overhead over- or underapplied? Now assume Patton calculates its fixed overhead rate based on practical capacity. d.What is the fixed overhead rate? e.What is the expected (planned)capacity variance? f.What is the unexpected (unplanned)capacity variance? g.By how much was fixed overhead over- or underapplied?

Branch Corp.uses a standard cost system to account for the costs of its one product.Variable overhead is applied using direct labor hours.Standards allowed for each unit are 3 hours of labor at a variable overhead rate of $10.During November,Branch Corp.produced 2,300 units.Payroll totaled $97,780 for 7,140 hours worked.Variable overhead incurred totaled $73,230.Calculate the: a.variable overhead rate variance. b.variable overhead efficiency variance.

Whitman has a direct labor standard of 2 hours per unit of output.Each employee has a standard wage rate of $22.50 per hour.During July,Whitman paid $94,750 to employees for 4,445 hours worked.2,350 units were produced during July.What is the flexible budget amount for direct labor?
