E4-24 (Job Costing, Journal Entries, pages 129-130)The University of
Chicago Press is wholly owned by the university. It performs the bulk of
its work for other university departments, which pay as though the press
were an outside business enterprise. The press also publishes and
maintains a stock of books for general sale. The press uses normal
costing to cost each job. Its job-costing system has two direct-cost
categories (direct materials and direct manufacturing labor) and one
indirect-cost pool (manufacturing overhead, allocated on the basis of
direct manufacturing labor costs).
The following data (in thousands) pertain to 2011:
Direct materials and supplies purchased on credit
Direct materials used
Indirect materials issued to various production departments
Direct manufacturing labor
Indirect manufacturing labor incurred by various production departments

E4-29 (Job-order Costing: Actual, Normal, and Variation from Normal
Costing, pages 131-132) Braden Brothers, Inc., is an architecture firm
specializing in high-rise buildings. Its job-costing system has a single
direct-cost category (architectural labor) and a single indirect-cost pool,
which contains all costs of supporting the office. Support costs are
allocated to individual jobs using architect labor-hours. Braden Brothers
employs 15 architects.
Budgeted and actual amounts for 2010 are as follows:
Required

8. Compute the direct-cost rate and the indirect-cost rate per architectural
labor-hour for 2010 under (a) actual costing, (b) normal costing, and (c)
the variation from normal costing that uses budgeted rates for direct
costs.
Braden Brother’s architectural sketches for Champ Tower in Houston
was budgeted to take 275 hours of architectural labor time. The actual
architectural labor time spent on the job was 250 hours. Compute the
cost of the Champ Tower sketches using (a) actual costing, (b) normal
costing, and (c) the variation from normal costing that uses budgeted
rates for direct costs.

10. E7-16 (Flexible Budget) Brabham Enterprises manufactures tires for the
Formula I motor racing circuit. For August 2014, it budgeted to
manufacture and sell 3,000 tires at a variable cost of $74 per tire and
total fixed
costs of $54,000. The budgeted selling price was $110 per tire. Actual
results in August 2014 were 2,800 tires manufactured and sold at a
selling price of $112 per tire. The actual total variable costs were
$229,600,
and the actual total fixed costs were $50,000.
1) Prepare a performance report that uses a flexible budget and a static
budget.
2) Comment on the results in requirement 1.
E7-20 (Flexible-Budget and Sales Volume Variances) Luster, Inc.,
produces the basic fillings used in many popular frozen desserts and
treats - vanilla and chocolate ice creams, puddings, meringues, and
fudge.
Luster uses standard costing and carries over no inventory from one
month to the next. The ice-cream product group's results for June 2014
were as follows:

12. Variable manufacturing costs

1 038 500
Contribution margin

$938 000
Sam Adler, the business manager for ice-cream products, is pleased that
more pounds of ice cream were sold than budgeted and that revenues
were up. Unfortunately, variable manufacturing costs went up, too.
The bottom line is that contribution margin declined by $63,000, which
is less than 3% of the budgeted revenues of $1,976,500. Overall, Adler
feels that the business is running fine.
1) Calculate the static-budget variance in units, revenues, variable
manufacturing costs, and conribution margin. What percentage is each
static-budget variance relative to its static-budget amount?
2) Break down each static-budget variance into a flexible-budget
variance and a sales-volume variance.

13. 3) Calculate the selling-price variance.
4) Assume the role of management accountant at Luster. How would
you present the results to Sam Adler? Should he be more concerned? If
so, why?

E8-26 (Overhead variances, missing information; page 293) (Horngren,
Datar, & Rajan, 2012) Dvent budgets 18,000 machine-hours for the
production of computer chips in August 2011. The budget variable
overhead rate is $6 per machine-hour. At the end of August, there is a
$375 favorable spending variance for variable overhead and a $1,575
unfavorable spending variance for fixed overhead. For the computer
chips produced, 14,850 machine-hours are budgeted and 15,000
machine-hours are actually used. Total actual overhead costs are
$120,000.
Required
Compute efficiency and flexible-budget variances for Dvent’s variable
overhead in August 2011. Will variable overhead be over- or
underallocated? By how much?

16. Compute production-volume and flexible-budget variances for Dvent’s
fixed overhead in August 2011. Will fixed overhead be over- or
underallocated? By how much?
E8-27 (Identifying favorable and unfavorable variances; page 293)
Purdue, Inc. manufactures tires for large auto companies. It uses
standard costing and allocates variable and fixed manufacturing
overhead based on machine-hours. For each independent scenario given,
indicate whether each of the manufacturing variances will be favorable
or unfavorable or, in case of insufficient information, indicate “CBD”
(cannot be determined).
