Assume that the moving activity has an expected cost of $80,000. Expected direct labor hours are 20,000, and expected number of moves is 40,000. The best activity rate for moving is a. $4 per move. b. $1.33 per hour-move. c. $4 per hour. d. $2 per move. e. None of these.
Activity rate for moving = Expected cost/Expected no of moves
= 80000/40000
Activity rate for moving = $2 per move
So answer is d) $2 per move
Assume that the moving activity has an expected cost of $80,000. Expected direct labor hours are...

Morton Company’s budgeted variable manufacturing overhead is $4.00 per direct labor-hour and its budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $450,000 per year. The company manufactures a single product whose standard direct labor-hours per unit is 2.0 hours. The standard direct labor wage rate is $30 per hour. The standards also allow 4 feet of raw material per unit at a standard cost of $6 per foot. Although normal activity is 50,000 direct labor-hours each year, the company expects to operate at...
Cheney Company established a predetermined variable overhead cost rate at $21.00 per direct labor hour. The actual variable overhead cost rate was $19.20 per hour. The planned level of labor activity was 76,000 hours of labor. The company actually used 80,000 hours of labor. Required Determine the total flexible budget variable overhead cost variance and indicate the effect of the variance by selecting favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). (Select "None" if there is no effect (i.e., zero variance).)
Quick Step Company is debating the use of direct labor cost or direct labor hours as the cost allocation base for allocating manufacturing overhead.

1. Lee Manufacturing uses a standard cost system with overhead applied based on direct labor hours. The manufacturing budget for the production of 5,000 units for the month of May included the following information. Direct labor (10,000 hours at $15 per hour) $150,000 Variable overhead $30,000 Fixed overhead $80,000 During May, 6,000 units were produced and the direct labor efficiency variance was $1,500 unfavorable. Based on this information, the actual number of direct labor hours used in...
Rooftop Solar estimated the following annual costs: Expected annual direct labor hours 12,000 Expected annual direct labor cost $198,000 Expected machine hours 10,400 Expected material cost for the year $65,000 Expected manufacturing overhead $218,400 Job 612 used $350 of direct materials, 26 direct labor hours, and 14 machine hours. Actual labor cost is $17 per hour. a. If Rooftop Solar allocates overhead based upon machine hours, how much is the overhead rate? b. Determine the cost of job 612.
Direct Labor Variances Bellingham Company produces a product that requires 4 standard direct labor hours per unit at a standard hourly rate of $20 per hour.
