Question

Use the following information for the Exercises below. [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.) Sedona Company set the following standard costs for one unit of its product for 2017. Direct material (30 lbs. @ $2.50 per lb.) Direct labor (20 hrs. @ $4.80 per hr.) Factory variable overhead (20 hrs. @ $2.30 per hr.) Factory fixed overhead (20 hrs. @ $1.20 per hr.) Standard cost $ 75.00 96.00 46.00 24.00 $241.00 The $3.50 ($2.30 + $1.20) total overhead rate per direct labor hour is based on an expected operating level equal to 70% of the factory's capacity of 53,000 units per month. The following monthly flexible budget information is also available. 75% Operating Levels (% of capacity) 65% 70% 34,450 37,100 39,750 689,000 742,000 795,000 Flexible Budget Budgeted output (units) Budgeted labor (standard hours) Budgeted overhead (dollars) Variable overhead Fixed overhead Total overhead $ 1,584,700 890,400 $ 2,475,100 $1,706,600 890,400 $2,597,000 $1,828,500 890,400 $2,718,900 During the current month, the company operated at 65% of capacity, employees worked 652,000 hours, and the following actual overhead costs were incurred. Variable overhead costs Fixed overhead costs Total overhead costs $1,525,000 954,000 $2,479,000 AH = Actual Hours SH = Standard Hours AVR = Actual Variable Rate SVR = Standard Variable Rate SFR = Standard Fixed Rate
