Flexible Budgets & Standard Cost Systems One of the owners of Nerdzy Computer Company had a midlife crisis and decided to leave the business and start manufacturing soap instead of computers (sound far-fetched... well this is what my stepmom really did). The soap company is called Sudsy Days and it manufactures white labeled soap that it sells to other companies for customizing with their own logos. Sudsy Days prepares flexible budgets and uses a standard cost system to control manufacturing costs. The standard unit cost of a jar of soap is based on static budget volume of 59800 soap jugs per month: Direct Materials (0.2 lbs. @ $0.25 per lb.) $0.05 Direct Labor (3 minutes @ $0.11 per minute) 0.33 Manufacturing Overhead: Variable (3 minutes @ $0.06 per minute) 0.18 Fixed (3 minutes @ $0.13 per minute) 0.39 0.57 Total Cost per Soap Jug $0.95 Actual cost and production information for July 2021 follows: a. There were no beginning or ending inventory balances. All expenditures were on account. b. Actual production and sales were 62500 soap jugs. Actual direct materials usage was 11000 lbs. at an actual cost of $0.17 per lb. d. Actual direct labor usage was 197000 minutes at a total cost of $25610. Actual overhead cost was $10835 variable and $29765 fixed. f. Selling and administrative costs were $95000. C. e.
