Answer: C Explanation: SH = 2,800 units × 0.2 hours per unit = 560 hours Variable overhead efficiency variance = (AH - SH) × SR = (500 hours − 560 hours) × $6.00 per hour = (−60 hours) × $6.00 per hour = $360 F
Majer Corporation makes a product with the following standard costs: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Per Unit Direct materials 6.4 ounces $ 3.00 per ounce $ 19.20 Direct labor 0.4 hours $ 13.00 per hour $ 5.20 Variable overhead 0.4 hours $ 5.00 per hour $ 2.00 The company reported the following results concerning this product in February. Originally budgeted output 4,800 units Actual output 4,900 units Raw materials used in production 30,230 ounces Actual direct labor-hours 1,910 hours Purchases of raw materials 32,600 ounces Actual price of raw materials $ 2.90 per ounce Actual direct labor rate $ 12.40 per hour Actual variable overhead rate $ 4.90 per hour The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. The materials quantity variance for February is: A) $3,277 F B) $3,390 U C) $3,390 F D) $3,277 U
Answer: C Explanation: SQ = 4,900 units × 6.4 ounces per unit = 31,360 ounces Materials quantity variance = (AQ - SQ) × SP = (30,230 ounces − 31,360 ounces) × $3.00 per ounce = (−1,130 ounces) × $3.00 per ounce = $3,390 F
Dinham Kennel uses tenant-days as its measure of activity; an animal housed in the kennel for one day is counted as one tenant-day.

Kartman Corporation makes a product with the following standard costs: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Per Unit Direct materials 6.5 pounds $ 7.00 per pound $ 45.50 Direct labor 0.6 hours $ 24.00 per hour $ 14.40 Variable overhead 0.6 hours $ 4.00 per hour $ 2.40 In June the company's budgeted production was 3,400 units but the actual production was 3,500 units. The company used 22,150 pounds of the direct material and 2,290 direct labor-hours to produce this output. During the month, the company purchased 25,400 pounds of the direct material at a cost of $170,180. The actual direct labor cost was $57,021 and the actual variable overhead cost was $8,931. The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. The materials price variance for June is: A) $7,620 U B) $6,825 U C) $6,825 F D) $7,620 F
Answer: D Explanation: Materials price variance = (AQ × AP) − (AQ × SP) = ($170,180) − (25,400 pounds × $7.00 per pound) = $170,180 − $177,800 = $7,620 F

Answer: D Explanation: Turnover = Sales ÷ Average operating assets = $750,000 ÷ $375,000 = 2 ROI = Margin × Turnover 15% = Margin × 2 Margin = 15% ÷ 2 = 7.5%
Juhasz Corporation makes a product with the following standards for direct labor and variable overhead: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Direct labor 0.5 hours $ 20.00 per hour Variable overhead 0.5 hours $ 4.00 per hour In August the company produced 7,900 units using 4,080 direct labor-hours. The actual variable overhead cost was $15,096. The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The variable overhead rate variance for August is: A) $1,185 F B) $1,224 U C) $1,185 U D) $1,224 F
Answer: D Explanation: AH × AR = $15,096 Variable overhead rate variance = (AH × AR) − (AH × SR) = ($15,096) − (4,080 hours × $4.00 per hour) = $15,096 − $16,320 = $1,224 F
Smith Corporation makes and sells a single product called a Pod. Each Pod requires 1.4 direct labor-hours at $9.60 per direct labor-hour. The direct labor workforce is fully adjusted each month to the required workload. Smith Corporation is preparing a Direct Labor Budget for the second quarter of the year. If the budgeted direct labor cost for April is $201,600, then the budgeted production of Pods for April would be: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.) A) 21,000 units B) 29,400 units C) 18,273 units D) 15,000 units
Answer: D Explanation: Budgeted direct labor cost = Budgeted production × 1.4 direct labor-hours per unit × $9.60 per direct labor-hour $201,600 = Budgeted production × 1.4 direct labor-hours per unit × $9.60 per direct labor-hour $201,600 = Budgeted production × $13.44 per unit Budgeted production = $201,600 ÷ $13.44 per unit = 15,000 units
Dustman Manufacturing Corporation's most recent production budget indicates the following required production: January February March April Required production (units) 4,000 6,000 5,500 5,000 Each unit of finished product requires 3 feet of raw materials. The company maintains raw materials inventory equal to 2,000 feet plus 10% of the next month's expected production needs.

What is the value of raw material that Dustman Manufacturing should plan on purchasing for the month of February? A) $73,575 B) $74,250 C) $81,000 D) $80,325
Answer: D Explanation: Direct Materials Budget February Required production in units 6,000 Raw materials required per unit 3 Raw materials needed to meet the production 18,000 Add desired ending raw materials inventory [2,000 feet + (5,500 units × 3 feet per unit × 10%)] 3,650 Total raw materials needs 21,650 Less beginning raw materials inventory [2,000 feet + (6,000 units × 3 feet per unit × 10%)] 3,800 Raw materials to be purchased 17,850 Cost of raw materials per unit $ 4.50 Cost of raw materials to be purchased $ 80,325
The following information relates to last year's operations at the Legumes Division of Gervani Corporation: Minimum required rate of return 12 % Return on investment (ROI) 15 % Sales $ 900,000 Turnover (on operating assets) 3 times What was the Legume Division's net operating income last year? A) $108,000 B) $135,000 C) $36,000 D) $45,000
Answer: D Explanation: ROI = Margin × Turnover 15% = Margin × 3 Margin = 15% ÷ 3 = 5% Margin = Net operating income ÷ Sales 5% = Net operating income ÷ $900,000 Net operating income = 5% × $900,000 = $45,000
Doogan Corporation makes a product with the following standard costs: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Direct materials 7.4 grams $ 2.00 per gram Direct labor 0.5 hours $ 20.00 per hour Variable overhead 0.5 hours $ 7.00 per hour The company produced 5,200 units in January using 39,310 grams of direct material and 2,380 direct labor-hours. During the month, the company purchased 44,400 grams of the direct material at $1.70 per gram. The actual direct labor rate was $19.30 per hour and the actual variable overhead rate was $6.80 per hour. The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. The labor efficiency variance for January is: A) $4,246 U B) $4,246 F C) $4,400 U D) $4,400 F
Answer: D Explanation: SH = 5,200 units × 0.5 hours per unit = 2,600 hours Labor efficiency variance = (AH - SH) × SR = (2,380 hours − 2,600 hours) × $20.00 per hour = (-220 hours) × $20.00 per hour = $4,400 F
Hermansen Corporation produces large commercial doors for warehouses and other facilities. In the most recent month, the company budgeted production of 5,100 doors. Actual production was 5,400 doors. According to standards, each door requires 3.8 machine-hours. The actual machine-hours for the month were 20,880 machine-hours. The standard supplies cost is $7.90 per machine-hour. The actual supplies cost for the month was $152,063. Supplies cost is an element of variable manufacturing overhead. The variable overhead efficiency variance for supplies cost is: A) $10,045 F B) $10,045 U C) $2,844 F D) $2,844 U
Answer: D Explanation: SH = 5,400 doors × 3.8 hours per door = 20,520 hours Variable overhead efficiency variance = (AH - SH) × SR = (20,880 hours - 20,520 hours) × $7.90 per hour = (360 hours) × $7.90 per hour = $2,844 U
Kesselring Corporation makes one product and has provided the following information to help prepare the master budget for the next three months of operations: Budgeted unit sales (all on credit): July 8,400 August 8,800 September 12,200 Raw materials requirement per unit of output 4 pounds Raw materials cost $ 3.00 per pound Direct labor requirement per unit of output 2.8 direct labor-hours Direct labor wage rate $ 18.00 per direct labor-hour Predetermined overhead rate (all variable) $ 11.00 per direct labor-hour The ending finished goods inventory should equal 40% of the following month's sales.
