d. Standard

1. Measures whether the quantity of materials or laborused to make the actual number of outputs is within thestandard allowed for the number of outputs.

2. Uses standards based on best practice.

3. Measures how well the business keeps unit costs ofmaterials and labor inputs within standards.

4. A price, cost, or quantity that is expected under normalconditions.

Question: How do flexible budgets differ from static budgets?

Preparing a flexible budget and performance report

This continues the Piedmont Computer Company situation from Chapter 22. Assume Piedmont Computer Company has created a standard cost card for the PCC model tablet computer, with overhead allocated based on direct labor hours:

Direct materials

\( 300 per tablet

Direct labor

3 hours per tablet at \)26 per hour

Variable overhead

3 hours per tablet at \(5 per hour

Fixed overhead

\)54,000 per month

During the month of September, Piedmont Computer Company incurred the following costs while manufacturing 1,100 PCC model tablets:

Direct material

\(341,000

Direct labor

88,000

Variable overhead

17,600

Fixed overhead

56,320

Requirements

1. Prepare a flexible budget for September for 900, 1,000, and 1,100 PCC model tablets. The tablet has a standard sales price of \)675. List variable costs separately.

2. Using 1,000 PCC model tablets for the static budget, prepare a flexible budget performance report for September. Total sales revenue for the month was $767,800. The company sold 1,100 tablets.

3. What insights can the management of Piedmont Computer Company draw from the performance report?

Computing overhead variances

Refer to the Morgan, Inc. data in Short Exercise S23­9. Last month, Morgan reported the following actual results: actual variable overhead, \(10,800; actual fixed overhead, \)2,770; actual production of 7,000 units at 0.20 direct labor hours per unit. The standard direct labor time is 0.25 direct labor hours per unit (1,300 static direct labor hours / 5,200 static units).

Requirements

1. Compute the overhead variances for the month: variable overhead cost variance, variable overhead efficiency variance, fixed overhead cost variance, and fixed overhead volume variance.

2. Explain why the variances are favorable or unfavorable.
