Enter all amounts as positive numbers.

a. Prepare the July manufacturing standard cost budget (direct labor, direct materials, and factory overhead) for WBC, assuming planned production.

Feedback

b. Prepare a budget performance report for manufacturing costs, showing the total cost variances for direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead for July. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number. If required, round your answers to nearest cent.

c. The Company's actual costs were $805.6 less than budgeted. Favorable direct labor and direct material cost variances more than offset a small unfavorable factory overhead cost variance.

Churchill Products is considering updating its cost system to an activity-based costing system and is interested in understanding the effects. The company’s cost accountant has identified three overhead cost pools along with appropriate cost drivers for each pool.

The company manufactures three models of water basins (Oval, Round, and Square). The plans for production for the next year and the budgeted direct costs and activity by product line are as follows:

Required:

a. The current cost accounting system charges overhead to products based on direct labor-hours. What unit product costs will be reported for the three products if the current cost system continues to be used? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "Per unit cost" answers to 2 decimal places.)

c. What are the cost driver rates for the three cost pools identified by the cost accountant? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

d. What unit product costs will be reported for the three products if the ABC system suggested by the cost accountant's classification of cost pools is used? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "Per unit cost" answers to 2 decimal places.)

e. If management should decide to implement an activity-based costing system, what benefits should it expect?
