Question
Monty Manufacturing builds playground equipment that it sells to elementary schools and municipalities. Monty's management has contracted you to perform a variance analysis on the fixed manufacturing overhead for its line of slides. Monty's cost accounting team informs you that it allocates fixed overhead based on machine hours. This period production was budgeted at 35
0 slides
. Budgeted and actual production data follows:
Standard fixed overhead cost per machine hour $5.00
Standard machine hours per slide 9
Actual production 390
Actual fixed overhead cost $20,000
What is the fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance in this period?
Answer:
Fixed overhead volume variance $1800 Favorable
Explanation:
Standard fixed cost per unit = cost per hour × standard hours
= $5.00 ×9 = $45
Units
Budgeted production unit 350
Actual production unit <u>390</u>
Volume variance in (units) 40
Standard fixed over cost per unit <u>× $45</u>
Fixed overhead volume variance <u> 1800 </u>Favorable
Fixed overhead volume variance $1800 Favorable

Answer:
It will be a net gain for 6,325.2 after taxes
Explanation:
Bases on the MACRS at the end of the third year. we will have a book value of 7.41% Remember that under MACRS we have a half year convention so we depreciate for half a year on the assets first year. given a total year of useful life + 1
40,000 x 7.41% = 2.964
sales price: 12,000
we will pay taxes for the difference:
12,000 - 2,964 = 9.036
9036 x (1 - 30%) = 6.325,2
Answer:
operating income would decrease by $2,500 if tires are purchased
Explanation:
offer from outside vendor = $1.40 per tire
yearly demand = 50,000 tires
production costs:
- direct materials $0.25
- direct labor $0.80
- variable manufacturing overhead $0.30
- fixed costs $0.50
total costs = $1.85
total avoidable costs = $1.35
make tires buy tires differential amount
produce tires $92,500 $0 $92,500
buy tires $0 $95,000 ($95,000)
total $92,500 $95,000 ($2,500)
operating income would decrease by $2,500 if tires are purchased
Answer:
I'm assuming because they need more construction workers because nobody wants to have a job like that anymore
