rate

The material variance terms price and quantity are replaced with the terms BLANK and BLANK when computing direct labor variances

hour or hours rate or rates

When 100% peak effort from the most skilled and efficient workers is assumed, the direct labor hours required per unit is being set using BLANK standards.

ideal

Using multiple cost drivers on a flexible budget report will generally Blank______. Multiple choice question. not impact the planning budget have no impact on expected or actual net income increase accuracy

increases accuracy

When direct labor is used as the overhead allocation base, the variable overhead efficiency variance Blank______. Multiple choice question. cannot be calculated will be favorable when the direct labor efficiency variance is favorable will always be unfavorable explains how efficient overhead resources were used

will be favorable when the direct labor efficiency variance is favorable

The materials price variance is the difference between the actual price of materials Blank______. Multiple choice question. times the actual quantity of materials and the standard price of materials times the standard quantity allowed for production and the standard price for materials with the difference multiplied by the actual quantity of materials and the standard price for materials with the difference multiplied by the standard quantity of material allowed

and the standard price for materials with the difference multiplied by the actual quantity of materials

If the activity level for the month is 4,000 units, actual revenue is $6,000, actual variable costs are $0.20 unit, and actual fixed costs total $500, which of the following are true? Multiple select question. $800 in total costs $4,200 net income $1,300 in total costs $4,700 net income

$1,300 in total costs $4,700 net income

The planning budget, based on 1,000 units, shows revenue of $24,000 and $6,250 for supplies. A total of 1,200 units were actually produced and sold. The flexible budget will show Blank______. $7,500 for supplies Reason: $6,250 ÷ 1,000 = $6.25 per unit × 1,200 = $7,500 $24,000 revenue Reason: When the units sold increase, total revenue increases. $6,250 for supplies Reason: Supplies is a variable cost, so it increases when activity increases. $28,800 revenue

$7,500 for supplies $28,800 revenue

If the planned budget revenue for 5,000 units is $120,000, the flexible budget revenue for 4,500 units is Blank

Which statement regarding variable overhead variance analysis is true? Multiple choice question. The variable overhead efficiency is calculated by multiplying the variance in the labor hours with the variable portion of the predetermined overhead rate. Variable overhead variances are easy to interpret. Efficient use of variable overhead results in a favorable variable overhead efficiency variance. The variable overhead efficiency variance uses exactly the same inputs as the direct labor efficiency variance.

The variable overhead efficiency is calculated by multiplying the variance in the labor hours with the variable portion of the predetermined overhead rate.

Which of the following are used to calculate the standard quantity per unit of direct materials? Multiple select question. Direct materials requirements per unit of finished product Freight and transportation costs Allowance for waste and spoilage

Direct materials requirements per unit of finished product Allowance for waste and spoilage

A price variance is the difference between the Blank______. Multiple choice question. actual price and the standard price multiplied by the actual amount of the input standard quantity allowed and the actual quantity used multiplied by the actual price standard quantity allowed and the actual quantity used multiplied by the standard price actual price and the standard price multiplied by the standard amount allowed

actual price and the standard price multiplied by the actual amount of the input

efficiency

The materials price variance is generally calculated at the time materials are purchased because

it allows materials to be carried in the inventory accounts at standard cost it simplifies bookkeeping management can generate more timely variance reports
