1. |
Prepare a flexible budget based on the actual number of recliners sold. |
2. |
Compute the cost variance and the efficiency variance for direct materials and for direct labor. For manufacturing? overhead, compute the variable overhead? cost, variable overhead? efficiency, fixed overhead? cost, and fixed overhead volume variances. Round to the nearest dollar. |
3. |
Have McKnight?'s managers done a good job or a poor job controlling?materials, labor, and overhead? costs? Why? |
4. |
Describe how McKnight?'s managers can benefit from the standard costing system. |
