1. Variance Analysis (10pts): Exterminate, Inc. has provided the following standards data concerning one of their products. Assume that OH costs are applied to products based on direct labor (DL) hours.

   Inputs	Standard quantity or standard hours of input per unit of output	Standard price or rate per unit of input
   Direct materials	4.0 liters	$7.25 per liter
   Direct labor	2.2 DL hours	$18.00 per DL hour
   Variable overhead	2.2 DL hours	$2.50 per DL hour
   Fixed overhead	2.2 DL hours	$4.00 per DL hour

   The standard OH rate for both Variable OH ($2.50 per DL hour) and Fixed OH ($4.00 per DL hour) is based on an expected volume of 85% of the factorys capacity of 8,000 units per month. Per the firms flexible OH budget, the Budgeted OH costs per month at the 75%, 85%, and 95% capacity level are:

   	Operating levels (% of capacity)
   	75%	85%	95%
   Units of production	6,000	6,800	7,600
   Standard DL hours	13,200	14,960	16,720
   Budgeted OH Costs:
   Variable OH	$33,000	$37,400	$41,800
   Fixed OH	$59,840	$59,840	$59,840
   Total OH	$92,840	$97,240	$101,640

   The firm reported the following actual costs for the month of May when it operated at 75% of capacity, producing 6,000 units.

   Actual output	6,000 units
   Direct materials purchased and used	23,400 liters
   Actual cost of materials purchased	$173,160
   Actual direct labor hours used	13,600
   Actual direct labor cost	$224,400
   Actual variable overhead cost	$34,680
   Actual fixed overhead cost	$59,000
