    1. price variance.
    2. quantity variance.
    3. mix variance.  

  1. A company would most likely have an unfavorable labor rate variance and a favorable labor efficiency variance if
    1. the mix of workers used in the production process was more experienced than the normal mix.
    2. the mix of workers used in the production process was less experienced than the normal mix.

  1. Bailey Corporation. incurred 2,300 direct labor hours to produce 600 units of product. Each unit should take 4 direct labor hours. Bailey Corporation applies variable overhead to production on a direct labor hour basis. The variable overhead efficiency variance a. will be unfavorable.
    1. will be favorable.
    2. will depend upon the capacity measure selected to assign overhead to production.
    3. is impossible to determine without additional information.

  1. A variable overhead spending variance is caused by
    1. using more or fewer actual hours than the standard hours allowed for the production achieved.
    2. paying a higher/lower average actual overhead price per unit of the activity base than the standard price allowed per unit of the activity base.
    3. larger/smaller waste and shrinkage associated with the resources involved than expected.
    4. both b and c are causes.

  2. no                 no               yes
  3. no                 yes              no
  4. yes                yes              no  

  1. A company may set predetermined overhead rates based on normal, expected annual, or theoretical capacity. At the end of a period, the fixed overhead spending variance would a. be the same regardless of the capacity level selected.
    1. be the largest if theoretical capacity had been selected.
    2. be the smallest if theoretical capacity had been selected.
    3. not occur if actual capacity were the same as the capacity level selecte

  1. The variance least significant for purposes of controlling costs is the
    1. material quantity variance.
    2. variable overhead efficiency variance.
    3. fixed overhead spending variance.
    4. fixed overhead volume variance.

  1. Fixed overhead costs are
    1. best controlled on a unit-by-unit basis of products produced.
    2. mostly incurred to provide the capacity to produce and are best controlled on a total basis at the time they are originally negotiated.
    3. constant on a per-unit basis at all different activity levels within the relevant range.
    4. best controlled as to spending during the production process.  

  1. The variance most useful in evaluating plant utilization is the
    1. variable overhead spending variance.
    2. fixed overhead spending variance.
    3. variable overhead efficiency variance.
    4. fixed overhead volume variance.  

  1. A favorable fixed overhead volume variance occurs if
    1. there is a favorable labor efficiency variance.
    2. there is a favorable labor rate variance.
    3. production is less than planned.
    4. production is greater than planne  

  1. The fixed overhead application rate is a function of a predetermined activity level. If standard hours allowed for good output equal the predetermined activity level for a given period, the volume variance will be a. zero.
    1. favorable.
    2. unfavorable.
    3. either favorable or unfavorable, depending on the budgeted overhea d
