Prepare a monthly flexible selling expense budget for Prater Company for sales volumes of $300,000, $400,000, and $500,000, based on the following data: $\begin{array}{ll}5 \% \text { of sales } & \text { Sales commissions } \\\$ 70,000 \text { per month } & \text { Sales managet's salary } \\\$ 75,000 \text { per month } & \text { Advertising expense } \\1 \% \text { of sales } & \text { Shipping expense } \\\$ 2,100 \text { per month plus } 1 / 2 \% \text { of sales } & \text { Miscellaneous selling expense }\end{array}$

The budgeted direct materials purchases are based on the sum of (1) the materials needed for production and (2) the desired ending materials inventory, less (3) the estimated beginning materials inventory.

The standard factory overhead rate of Quaker Inc. is $10 per direct labor hour ($8 for variable factory overhead and $2 for fixed factory overhead) based on 100% capacity of 30,000 direct labor hours. The standard cost and the actual cost of factory overhead for the production of 5,000 units during May were as follows: $\begin{array}{lll}\$ 250,000 & 25,000 \text { hours at } \$ 10 & \text { Standard } \\202,500 & \text { Variable factory overhead } & \text { Actual: } \\60,000 & \text { Fixed factory overhead } &\end{array}$ Refer to the information provided for Quaker Inc. What is the amount of the fixed factory overhead volume variance?

If the standard to produce a given amount of product is 600 direct labor hours at $17 and the actual was 500 hours at $15, the direct labor time variance was $1,700 favorable.

The unfavorable volume variance may be due to all of the following factors except:

If the standard to produce a given amount of product is 1,000 units of direct materials at $11 and the actual was 800 units at $12, the direct materials price variance was $1,000 favorable.

The standard factory overhead rate is $7.50 per machine hour ($6.20 for variable factory overhead and $1.30 for fixed factory overhead) based on 100% capacity of 80,000 machine hours. The standard cost and the actual cost of factory overhead for the production of 15,000 units during August were as follows: $\begin{array}{lll}\$ 360,000 & \text { Variable factory overhe ad } & \text { Actual } \\104,000 & \text { Fixed factory overhead } & \\450,000 & 60,000 \text { hours at } \$ 7.50 &\text { Standard } \end{array}$ What is the amount of the variable factory overhead controllable variance?

Which of the following budgets provides the starting point for the preparation of the direct labor cost budget?

The standard costs and actual costs for direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead for the manufacture of 2,500 units of product are as follows: $\begin{array}{ll}\text { StandardCosts } \\7,500 \text { hours } \$ 12 & \text { Directlabor } \\\\\text { Actual Costs } \\7,400 \text { hours } \$ 11.40 & \text { Direct labor }\end{array}$ The amount of the direct labor time variance is:

In most businesses, cost standards are established principally by accountants.

Employees view budgeting more positively when goals are established for them by senior management.

Once a static budget has been determined, it is changed regularly as the underlying activity changes.

Standard and actual costs for direct materials for the manufacture of 1,000 units of product were as follows: $\begin{array}{ll}1,450 \mathrm{lbs.} @ \$ 8.10 & \text { Actual costs } \\1,500 \mathrm{lbs.} @ \$ 8.00 & \text { Standard costs }\end{array}$ Determine the (a) quantity variance, (b) price variance, and (c) total direct materials cost variance.

Changes in technology, machinery, or production methods may make past cost data irrelevant for future operations.

Which of the following budgets is prepared using the production budget?

Budgets are normally used by both profit-making businesses and nonprofit organizations.

A budget performance report compares actual results with the budgeted amounts and reports differences for possible investigation.

Answer Corporation uses standard cost system. The standard costs and actual costs for direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead for the manufacture of 2,500 units of product are as follows: $\begin{array}{ll}\text { StandardCosts } \\ 2,500 \text { kilograms@\$8 }& \text { Direct labor } \\7,500 \text { hours @ } \$ 12 & \text { Direct material } \\\\\text { Actual Costs } & \\2,600 \text { kilograms } @ \$ 8.75 & \text { Direct material } \\7,400 \text { hours } \$ 11.40 & \text { Direct labor } \\\text { Factory overhead(100\% capacity- } 10,000 \text { hrs.) : } &\end{array}$ Variable cost @ $2 per hour Total variable cost, $18,000 Fixed cost @ $0.80 per hour Total fixed cost, $8,000 Refer to the information provided for Answer Corporation. The amount of the direct labor rate variance is:
