Pace Labs, Inc. provides mad cow disease testing for both state and federal governmental agricultural agencies. Because the companys customers are governmental agencies, prices are strictly regulated. Therefore, Pace Labs must constantly monitor and control its testing costs. Shown below are the standard costs for a typical test.
Direct materials (2test tubes @ $2.00per tube) $4.00
Direct labor (1hour @ $30per hour) 30.00
Variable overhead (1hour @ $6per hour) 6
Fixed overhead (1hour @ $13per hour) 13
Total standard cost per test $53.00
The lab does not maintain an inventory of test tubes. Therefore, the tubes purchased each month are used that month. Actual activity for the month of November 2014, when1,000tests were conducted, resulted in the following:
Direct materials (2,060test tubes) $3,832
Direct labor (1,050hours) 30,450
Variable overhead 6,640
Fixed overhead 11,450
Monthly budgeted fixed overhead is $17,810. Revenues for the month were $65,000, and selling and administrative expenses were $4,390.
