Question 25

Figure 10-1.
Jason, Inc. produces leather purses. Jason has developed a static budget for the first quarter, based on 20,000 direct labor hours. During the quarter, the actual activity was 22,000 direct labor hours. Data for the first quarter are summarized as follows:

Static budget
(20,000 hours)

Actual costs
(22,000 hours)

Direct Materials

$ 80,000

$ 87,000

Direct labor

160,000

174,000

Rent

   48,000

   50,000

Total

$288,000

$311,000

Refer to Figure 10-1. Comparing the static budget to the actual outcomes, we can say the following:

Answer

the manager had more direct labor hours.

the variances are all unfavorable.

the comparison is not useful for assessing managerial efficiency.

a flexible budget should be used for assessing efficiency.

all of these.

Budgeted variable overhead for the year was $88,000. The hours allowed per unit are 2.1. The standard variable overhead rate is $4.00 per direct labor hour. The variable overhead spending variance is:

Answer

$2,000 F.

$6,000 U.

$10,000 U.

$2,000 U.

none of these.

Explanation / Answer

Question 25 All of these Question 26 Flexible Budget Variance 311,000-288,000 = 23,000 (U ) Question 27 Cannot be determined. The data is insufficient as regards material. Question 28 Variable Over Head Spending Variance (90,000 - 88,000 ) = 2000 (U )
