The department's cost control report is given below: Freemont Corporation-Machining Department Machine-hours Direct labor wages Supplies Maintenance Utilities Cost Control Report For the Month Ended June 30 Actual Results 42,000 $ 93,500 29,800 25,900 23,600 58,000 Planning Budget 40,000 $ 90,400 26,800 Variances $ 3,100 U 3,000 U 23,300 2,600 U 22,100 1,500 U 0 0 $ 10,200 U Supervision Depreciation Total 58,000 101,000 101,000 $331,800 $ 321,600 "I just can't understand all of these unfavorable variances," Weston complained to the supervisor of another department. "When the boss called me in, I thought he was going to give me a pat on the back because I know for a fact that my department worked more efficiently last month than it has ever worked before. Instead, he tore me apart. I thought for a minute that it might be over the supplies that were stolen out of our warehouse last month. But they only amounted to a couple of hundred dollars, and just look at this report. Everything is unfavorable." Direct labor wages and supplies are variable costs; supervision and depreciation are fixed costs; and maintenance and utilities are mixed costs. The fixed component of the budgeted maintenance cost is $18,900; the fixed component of the budgeted utilities cost is $14,500. Required:
