3. Foster Company has the following standards per finished unit for its product:
Direct materials 3 lbs. @ $4.00 per lb.= $12.00
Direct labor 2 hrs. @ $13.00 per hr. = 26.00
Manufacturing overhead:
Variable 2 Direct labor Hrs. @ $5.00 = 10.00
Fixed 2 DLH @ $7.00 per DLH = 14.00
Total standard cost per unit $62.00
Results for March were:
Budgeted units of production 4,000
Actual units produced 3,800
Direct materials purchases 14,000 lbs. @ $3.75 per lb.
Direct materials used in production 12,600 lbs.
Direct labor incurred 7,200 hrs. @ $13.50 per hr.
Actual variable overhead $39,400
Budgeted fixed overhead $ ?
Actual fixed overhead $52,700
a. Compute the total budgeted fixed overhead. (Hint: The FOH rate was calculated by dividing budgeted
FOH by budgeted DLH, so use the rate to back in to the budgeted FOH.)
b. Prepare a flexible budget analysis for March:
. 1. Compute the static budget amounts for direct materials, direct labor, variable and fixed overhead.
(Hint: Based on budgeted volume and budgeted rates)
. 2. Compute the flexible budget amounts for direct materials, direct labor, variable and fixed
overhead. (Hint: Based on actual volume and budgeted rates)
. 3. Compute the sales volume variances and indicate F or U. (Hint: Compare static and flexible
budgets.)
. 4. Compute the flexible budget variances and indicate F or U. (Hint: Compare flexible budget to
actual.)
c. What is the standard quantity of materials allowed for actual production (SQA)?
d. What is the standard labor hours allowed for actual production (SQA)?
e. Compute the following variances for March:
. 1. Direct materials price variance (based on quantity purchased)
. 2. Direct materials efficiency variance
. 3. Direct labor price variance
. 4. Direct labor efficiency variance
f. Prepare journal entries to record the following the transactions and variances under a standard costing
system:
1. Materials purchases
2. Materials used in production
3. Direct labor
