Question

The following data were drawn from the records of Campbell Corporation. Planned volume for year (static budget) Standard direct materials cost per unit Standard direct labor cost per unit Total expected fixed overhead costs Actual volume for the year (flexible budget) Actual direct materials cost per unit Actual direct labor cost per unit Total actual fixed overhead costs 4,300 units 3.30 pounds @ $1.10 per pound 4.00 hours @ $3.20 per hour $17,200 4,700 units 2.90 pounds @ $1.60 per pound 4.10 hours @ $2.80 per hour $13,200 Required a. Prepare a materials variance information table showing the standard price, the actual price, the standard quantity, and the actual quantity. b. Calculate the materials price and usage variances. Indicate whether the variances are favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). c. Prepare a labor variance information table showing the standard price, the actual price, the standard hours, and the actual hours. d. Calculate the labor price and usage variances. Indicate whether the variances are favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). e. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate, assuming that Campbell uses the number of units as the allocation base. f. Calculate the fixed cost spending variance. Indicate whether the variance is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). g. Calculate the fixed cost volume variance. Indicate whether the variance is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). X Answer is not complete. Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Req A Req B Reqc Req D Req Eto G Calculate the predetermined overhead rate, assuming that Campbell uses the number of units as the allocation base. Calculate the fixed cost spending variance and the fixed cost volume variance. Indicate whether the variance is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). (Round "Predetermined overhead rate" answer to 2 decimal places. Select "None" if there is no effect i.e., zero variance).) Show less per unit f. Predetermined overhead rate Fixed cost spending variance Fixed cost volume variance $ 4,000 F g.

Answer 1

Pre-determined overhead rate = 17200/4300 =	$                4.00	per unit
Fixed cost volume variance = (4700-4300)*4 =	$             1,600	F

Answer is given for e and g, as f is correct.
