as asked that you review the company’s costing system and "do what you can to help us get better control of our manufacturing overhead costs."

Supplies $0.30 per machine hour $8,400
Indirect labor $130,000 plus $0.70 per machine hour $149,600
Depreciation $70,000 $71,500

Answer:

Explanation:

Variance analysis studies the relationship between actual and budgeted cost for business activities. Variance analysis helps the management in two ways;

  • Favorable
  • Unfavorable

Favorable - if the actual cost incurred is less than the budgeted cost, the difference amount is a saving for the company.

Unfavorable - if the actual cost is more than the budgeted cost, the difference is an extra expenditure for the company.

Flexible budget;

  • The flexible budget is prepared at different levels of volume that was initially projected by the master budget.
  • It is highly styled and more useful than the master budget.

The report showing the Activity and Spending  Variances for march is given in the file attached below, in other not to cause confusion. Thank you.
