Problem 8-3A Flexible budget preparation; computation of materials, labor, and overhead variances; and overhead variance report LO P1, P2, P3, C2

[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Antuan Company set the following standard costs for one unit of its product.

Direct materials (4.0 Ibs. @ $5.00 per Ib.)	$	20.00
Direct labor (1.8 hrs. @ $13.00 per hr.)		23.40
Overhead (1.8 hrs. @ $18.50 per hr.)		33.30
Total standard cost	$	76.70

The predetermined overhead rate ($18.50 per direct labor hour) is based on an expected volume of 75% of the factorys capacity of 20,000 units per month. Following are the companys budgeted overhead costs per month at the 75% capacity level.

Overhead Budget (75% Capacity)
Variable overhead costs
Indirect materials	$	15,000
Indirect labor		75,000
Power		15,000
Repairs and maintenance		30,000
Total variable overhead costs				$	135,000
Fixed overhead costs
DepreciationBuilding		24,000
DepreciationMachinery		71,000
Taxes and insurance		17,000
Supervision		252,500
Total fixed overhead costs					364,500
Total overhead costs				$	499,500

The company incurred the following actual costs when it operated at 75% of capacity in October.

Direct materials (61,000 Ibs. @ $5.10 per lb.)				$	311,100
Direct labor (19,000 hrs. @ $13.30 per hr.)					252,700
Overhead costs
Indirect materials	$	41,300
Indirect labor		176,600
Power		17,250
Repairs and maintenance		34,500
DepreciationBuilding		24,000
DepreciationMachinery		95,850
Taxes and insurance		15,300
Supervision		252,500			657,300
Total costs				$	1,221,100

3. Compute the direct materials cost variance, including its price and quantity variances. AQ = Actual Quantity SQ = Standard Quantity AP = Actual Price SP = Standard Price
