A company's flexible budget for 12,000 units of production showed sales, $48,000; variable costs, $18,000; and fixed costs, $16,000. The fixed costs expected if the company produces and sells 16,000 units is:

A company's flexible budget for 36,000 units of production showed variable overhead costs of $54,000 and fixed overhead costs of $50,000. The company actually incurred total overhead costs of $95,300 while operating at a volume of 32,000 units. What is the controllable variance?

The standard materials cost to produce 1 unit of Product R is 6 pounds of material at a standard price of $50 per pound. In manufacturing 8,000 units, 47,000 pounds of material were used at a cost of $51 per pound. What is the direct materials price variance?

Explain variance analysis. Describe how variance analysis assists managers.

A company's flexible budget for 12,000 units of production showed sales, $48,000; variable costs, $18,000; and fixed costs, $16,000. The variable costs expected if the company produces and sells 16,000 units is:

A favorable variance for a cost means that when compared to the budget, the actual cost is ________ than the budgeted cost.

The standard materials cost to produce 1 unit of Product R is 6 pounds of material at a standard price of $50 per pound. In manufacturing 8,000 units, 47,000 pounds of material were used at a cost of $51 per pound. What is the total direct materials cost variance?

A job was budgeted to require 3 hours of labor per unit at $8.00 per hour. The job consisted of 8,000 units and was completed in 22,000 hours at a total labor cost of $198,000. What is the total labor cost variance?

When recording variances in a standard cost system:

Use the following data to find the direct labor rate variance if the company produced 7,000 units of product during the period.

A company's flexible budget for 30,000 units of production showed sales of $90,000, variable costs of $36,000, and fixed costs of $23,000. Prepare a flexible budget for 25,000 units assuming it is within the same relevant range of production.

What are sales variances? How are they used?

Linx Company's output for a period was assigned the standard direct labor cost of $17,160. If the company had a favorable direct labor rate variance of $1,000 and an unfavorable direct labor efficiency variance of $275, what was the total actual cost of direct labor incurred during the period?

Variable budget is another name for a flexible budget.

Levelor Company's flexible budget shows $10,710 of overhead at 75% of capacity, which was the operating level achieved during May. However, the company applied overhead to production during May at a rate of $2.00 per direct labor hour based on a budgeted operating level of 6,120 direct labor hours (90% of capacity) . If overhead actually incurred was $11,183 during May, the controllable variance for the month was:

Janitor Supply produces an industrial cleaning powder that requires 40 grams of material at $0.10 per gram and .25 direct labor hours at $12.00 per hour. Overhead is applied at the rate of $18 per direct labor hour. What is the total standard cost for one unit of product that would appear on a standard cost card?

A company's flexible budget for 60,000 units of production showed sales of $96,000, variable costs of $36,000, and fixed costs of $26,000. What operating income would be expected if the company produces and sells 70,000 units?

The usefulness of a flexible budget depends on the valid classification of variable and fixed costs.
