Question - Computation of materials, labor, and overhead variances
Tuna Company set the following standard unit costs for its single product.
Direct materials (25 lbs. @ $4 per lb.)......................................... $100.00
Direct labor (6 hrs. @ $8 per hr.)............................................... 48.00
Factory overhead-variable (6 hrs. @ $5 per hr.).............................. 30.00
Factory overhead-fixed (6 hrs. @ $7 per hr.)................................. 42.00
Total standard cost................................................................ $220.00
The predetermined overhead rate is based on a planned operating volume of 80% of the productive capacity of 60,000 units per quarter. The following flexible budget information is available.
Operating Levels 70% 80% 90%
Production in units.............................. 42,000 48,000 54,000
Standard direct labor hours..................... 252,000 288,000 324,000
Budgeted overhead
Fixed factory overhead............... $2,016,000 $2,016,000 $2,016,000
Variable factory overhead............$1,260,000 $1,440,000 $1,620,000
