Computing and journalizing standard cost variances
McKnight manufactures coffee mugs that it sells to other companies for customizing with
their own logos. McKnight prepares flexible budgets and uses a standard cost system to
control manufacturing costs. The standard unit cost of a coffee mug is based on static budget
volume of 59,800 coffee mugs per month:
Direct Materials (0.2 lbs. @ $0.25 per Ib.)
$ 0.05
Direct Labor (3 minutes @ $0.11 per minute)
0.33
Manufacturing Overhead:
Variable (3 minutes @ $0.06 per minute)
$ 0.18
Fixed (3 minutes @ $0.15 per minute)
0.45
0.63
Total Cost Per Coffee Mug
$ 1.01
Actual cost and production information for July 2020 follow:
а.
Actual production and sales were 62,500 coffee mugs.
b. Actual direct materials usage was 10,000 Ibs. at an actual cost of $0.17 per Ib.
Actual direct labor usage of 198,000 minutes at a cost of $25,740.
d. Actual overhead cost was $8,500 variable and $32,100 fixed.
e. Selling and administrative costs were $110,000.

- Which of the following is a value-added activity? a.waiting b.inspection c.processing d.moving Which of the following statements is characteristic of overhead? a.The adjusted cost of goods sold is equal to the normal cost of goods manufactured plus or minus the overhead variance. b.Variances in overhead are expected every other month. c.lf the overhead variance shows overapplied overhead, then that amount would be subtracted from normal cost of goods sold. d.lf the overhead variance shows underapplied overhead, then that amount would be subtracted from normal cost of goods sold. Which accounting method is used for external reporting? a.absorption costing b.transfer price costing c.variable costing d.responsibility costingarrow_forwardGauging the Favorableness of Variances When variances occur, they are described as being either favorable or unfavorable. When actual activity consumes more time or money than initially planned, an unfavorable variance exists. However, when actual activity consumes less time or money than initially planned, a favorable variance exists. Note that the terms favorable and unfavorable are used, rather than saying that a variance is good or bad, because until the cause of a variance is discovered, it is not clear whether a variance is either good or bad. Note: Use the minus sign to indicate negative values (when the budgeted amount is greater than the actual). If a company calculates that the actual cost for the actual hours worked by employees was $4,600,000, and the amount budgeted for those hours actually worked was $4,800,000, the actual cost for hours worked less the budgeted cost for hours worked is $ less than ✔ the budgeted cost at actual hours worked.
