| The company uses a standard cost system based on manufacturing 5,000 tents per month. Overhead is applied on a per-unit basis. In May, |
| 4,840 tents were produced. Management has a policy that all variances greater than 3% from standard should be investigated. Standard and |
| actual costs are listed below: | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | Standard | | | | | | | |
| Direct material | 18 yards at $3.20 per yard | | | | | | | |
| Direct labor | 6.5 hours at $16.00 per hour | | | | | | | |
| Overhead applied | $12.00 per tent | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | Actual | | | | | | | |
| Direct material | 86,550 yards at $3.25 per yard | | | | | | | |
| Direct labor | 32,100 hours at $15.80 per hour | | | | | | | |
| Actual overhead | $56,750 | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| Instructions: | | | | | | | | |
| 1. Compute the total, price, and quantity variances for both materials and labor. | | | | | |
| State if each variance is favorable or unfavorable. | | | | | | | |
| 2. Compute the total, volume, and budget overhead variances. State if favorable | | | | | |
| or unfavorable. | | | | | | | | |
| 3. Prepare journal entries for the application of overhead, the actual overhead, | | | | | |
| and to record variances and close the overhead account. Note that on the actual | | | | | |
| overhead, you will not have individual expense account amount, so just list | | | | | |
| "various" for the expense accounts. | | | | | | | |
| 4. Always label all of your work. | | | | | | | |
