1. Recheese factory of Indofood Industries manufactures field boots. The cost of each boot includes direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. The firm traces all direct costs to products, and it assigns overhead based on direct labor hours. The company budgeted $15,000 variable overhead and 2,500 direct labor hours to manufacture 5,000 pairs of boots in March 2010. The factory spent 2,700 direct labor hours in March 2010 to manufacture 4,800 pairs of boots and spent $15,600 on variable overhead during the month. Required: 1. Compute the flexible-budget variance, the spending variance, and the efficiency variance for variable overhead for March. 2. Provide appropriate journal entries to record the variable overhead spending and efficiency variances. 3. Comment on the factorys operation in March 2010 with regard to variable overhead.

2. One of the nonfinancial measures that managers of company would likely find helpful in planning and controlling its overhead costs is quantity of budgeted indirect materials used per machine-hour, relative to the quantity of stated indirect materials used per machine-hour.

Select one:

True

False

3. The three variance analysis for overhead cost is actually the development of two variance analysis. The analysis can be break-down into:

Select one:

a. Mix variance, spending variance and efficiency variance

b. Price variance, spending variance and efficiency variance
