Question

All same problem, I always thumbs up :)

Required information

[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

Preble Company manufactures one product. Its variable manufacturing overhead is applied to production based on direct labor-hours and its standard cost card per unit is as follows:

Direct materials: 5 pounds at $11 per pound	$	55
Direct labor: 3 hours at $12 per hour		36
Variable overhead: 3 hours at $7 per hour		21
Total standard cost per unit	$	112

The planning budget for March was based on producing and selling 21,000 units. However, during March the company actually produced and sold 26,600 units and incurred the following costs:

A. Purchased 154,000 pounds of raw materials at a cost of $9.50 per pound. All of this material was used in production.

B . Direct laborers worked 63,000 hours at a rate of $13 per hour.

C. Total variable manufacturing overhead for the month was $510,930.

7. What direct labor cost would be included in the company’s planning budget for March?

8. What direct labor cost would be included in the company’s flexible budget for March?

9. What is the labor rate variance for March? (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance.). Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations.)

10. What is the labor efficiency variance for March? (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance.). Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations.)

11. What is the labor spending variance for March? (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance.). Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations.)

12. What variable manufacturing overhead cost would be included in the company’s planning budget for March?

13. What variable manufacturing overhead cost would be included in the company’s flexible budget for March?

14. What is the variable overhead rate variance for March? (Round the actual overhead rate to two decimal places. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance.). Input all amounts as positive values.)

15. What is the variable overhead efficiency variance for March? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the actual overhead rate to two decimal places. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance.). Input all amounts as positive values.)

Answer 1

7) Labor cost in planning budget = 21000*36 = 756000

8) Labor cost in flexible budget = 26600*36 = 957600

9) Labor rate variance = (12-13)*63000 = 63000 U

10) Labor efficiency variance = (26600*3-63000)*12 = 201600 F

11) Labor spending variance = (26600*36)-(63000*13) = 138600 F

12) Variable overhead in planning budget = 21000*21 = 441000

13) Variable overhead in flexible budget = 26600*21 = 558600

14) Variable overhead rate variance = (7*63000-510930) = 69930 U

15) Variable overhead efficiency variance = (26600*3-63000)*7 = 117600 F
