- Budgeted unit sales for the entire countertop oven industry were 2,500,000 (of all model types), and actual unit sales for the industry were 2,550,000. Recall from Cornerstone Exercise 18.6 that Iliff, Inc., provided the following information: Required: 1. Calculate the market share variance (take percentages out to four significant digits). 2. Calculate the market size variance. 3. What if Iliff actually sold a total of 41,000 units (in total of the two models)? How would that affect the market share variance? The market size variance?arrow_forwardRosenberry Company computed the following revenue variances for January: Revenue price variance (350,000) Favorable Revenue volume variance50,000 Unfavorable Assuming that the planned selling price per unit was 10 and that actual sales were 175,000 units, determine the following: a.Actual selling price of January. b.Planned number of units that were to be sold in January.arrow_forwardStatic budget versus flexible budget The production supervisor of the Machining Department for Hagerstown Company agreed to the following monthly static budget for the upcoming year: The actual amount spent and the actual units produced in the first three months in the Machining Department were as follows: The Machining Department supervisor has been very pleased with this performance because actual expenditures for May-July have been significantly less than the monthly static budget of2,358,000. However, the plant manager believes that the budget should not remain fixed for every month but should flex or adjust to the volume of work that is produced in the Machining Department. Additional budget information for the Machining Department is as follows: a. Prepare a flexible budget for the actual units produced for May, June, and July in the MachiningDepartment. Assume depreciation is a fixed cost. b. Compare the flexible budget with the actual expenditures for the first three months.What does this comparison suggest?arrow_forward
- Titanium Blades refines titanium for use in all brands of razor blades. It prepared a static budget for the sales of 5,000 units. These variances were observed: Determine the static budget and use the information to prepare a flexible budget and analysis for the 6,000 units actually sold.arrow_forwardDetermining Budgeted Overhead The overhead application rate for a company is 10 per unit, made up of 6 per unit of fixed overhead and 4 per unit of variable overhead. Normal capacity is 10,000 units. In one month there was a favorable flexible budget variance of 2,500. Actual overhead for the month was 110,000 and actual units produced were 13,125. Based on this information, determine the amount of the budgeted overhead for the actual level of production.arrow_forwardCalculating factory overhead: two variances Monrovia Manufacturing Inc. normally produces 10,000 units of product A each month. Each unit requires 4 hours of direct labor, and factory overhead is applied on a direct labor hour basis. Fixed costs and variable costs in factory overhead at the normal capacity are 10 and 5 per unit, respectively. Cost and production data for June follow: a. Calculate the flexible-budget variance. b. Calculate the production-volume variance. c. Was the total factory overhead under- or overapplied? By what amount?arrow_forward

- Operating Budget, Comprehensive Analysis Allison Manufacturing produces a subassembly used in the production of jet aircraft engines. The assembly is sold to engine manufacturers and aircraft maintenance facilities. Projected sales in units for the coming 5 months follow: The following data pertain to production policies and manufacturing specifications followed by Allison Manufacturing: a. Finished goods inventory on January 1 is 32,000 units, each costing 166.06. The desired ending inventory for each month is 80% of the next months sales. b. The data on materials used are as follows: Inventory policy dictates that sufficient materials be on hand at the end of the month to produce 50% of the next months production needs. This is exactly the amount of material on hand on December 31 of the prior year. c. The direct labor used per unit of output is 3 hours. The average direct labor cost per hour is 14.25. d. Overhead each month is estimated using a flexible budget formula. (Note: Activity is measured in direct labor hours.) e. Monthly selling and administrative expenses are also estimated using a flexible budgeting formula. (Note: Activity is measured in units sold.) f. The unit selling price of the subassembly is 205. g. All sales and purchases are for cash. The cash balance on January 1 equals 400,000. The firm requires a minimum ending balance of 50,000. If the firm develops a cash shortage by the end of the month, sufficient cash is borrowed to cover the shortage. Any cash borrowed is repaid at the end of the quarter, as is the interest due (cash borrowed at the end of the quarter is repaid at the end of the following quarter). The interest rate is 12% per annum. No money is owed at the beginning of January. Required: 1. Prepare a monthly operating budget for the first quarter with the following schedules. (Note: Assume that there is no change in work-in-process inventories.) a. Sales budget b. Production budget c. Direct materials purchases budget d. Direct labor budget e. Overhead budget f. Selling and administrative expenses budget g. Ending finished goods inventory budget h. Cost of goods sold budget i. Budgeted income statement j. Cash budget 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Form a group with two or three other students. Locate a manufacturing plant in your community that has headquarters elsewhere. Interview the controller for the plant regarding the master budgeting process. Ask when the process starts each year, what schedules and budgets are prepared at the plant level, how the controller forecasts the amounts, and how those schedules and budgets fit in with the overall corporate budget. Is the budgetary process participative? Also, find out how budgets are used for performance analysis. Write a summary of the interview.arrow_forwardReplenish sells shampoo that removes chlorine from hair. It prepared a static budget for the sales of 10,000 units. These variances were observed: Determine the static budget and use the information to prepare a flexible budget and analysis for the 8,000 units actually sold.arrow_forwardNashler Company has the following budgeted variable costs per unit produced: Budgeted fixed overhead costs per month include supervision of 98,000, depreciation of 76,000, and other overhead of 245,000. Required: 1. Prepare a flexible budget for all costs of production for the following levels of production: 160,000 units, 170,000 units, and 175,000 units. 2. What is the per-unit total product cost for each of the production levels from Requirement 1? (Round each unit cost to the nearest cent.) 3. What if Nashler Companys cost of maintenance rose to 0.22 per unit? How would that affect the unit product costs calculated in Requirement 2?arrow_forward
