Have Smith's managers done a good job or a poor job controling materials, labor, and overhead costs? Why? The vanances computed in Requirement 2 suggest that the managers have done a o controlling metenals and labor costs. The efficiency variance Managers have done job controling overhead costs as evidenced by the fact that of the owerhead variances are Requirement 4. Describe how Smith's managers can benefit from the standard costing system Standard costing helps managers do the following: direct materials cost variance and direct laboreficiency vanance help offset the direct labor cost vanance and direct materias * Requirements 2. Prepare a flexible budget based on the actual number of recliners sold. Compute the cost variance and the efficiency variance for direct materials and for direct labor. For manufacturing overhead, compute the variable overhead cost, variable overhead efficiency, fixed overhead cost, and fixed overhead volume variances. Round to the nearest dollar. Have Smith's managers done a good job or a poor job controlling materials, labor, and overhead costs? Why? Describe how Smith's managers can benefit from the standard costing system. 3.
