4.  Gucci Manufacturing produces two products, Big and Bigger. Gucci expects to sell 10,000 units of product Bigger and to have an inventory of 2,000 units of Bigger on hand at the end of the period. Currently, Gucci has 800 units of Bigger on hand. Bigger requires two labor operations, molding and polishing. Each unit of Bigger requires one hour of molding and two hours of polishing. The direct labor rate for molding is $20 per molding hour and the direct labor rate for polishing is $25 per polishing hour. The expected number of hours of direct labor for Bigger is:

A) 8,800 hours of molding; 17,600 hours of polishing

B) 11,200 hours of molding; 22,400 hours of polishing

C) 17,600 hours of molding; 8,800 hours of polishing

D) 22,400 hours of molding; 11,200 hours of polishing

Answer: B

Explanation: B) 10,000 + 2,000 - 800 = 11,200

(11,200 × 1) = 11,200 hours of molding; (11,200 × 2) = 22,400 hours of polishing

5.  Hewitt Co. budgeted its activity for October 2004 from the following information:

·  Sales are budgeted at $750,000. All sales are credit sales and a provision for doubtful accounts is made monthly at the rate of 2 percent of sales.

·  Merchandise inventory was $120,000 at September 30, 2004, and an increase of $10,000 is planned for the month.

·  All merchandise is marked up to sell at invoice cost plus 50 percent.

·  Estimated cash disbursements for selling and administrative expenses for the month are $105,000.

·  Depreciation for the month is projected at $25,000.

Hewitt is projecting operating income for October 2004 in the amount of

a. $105,000.

b. $119,000.

c. $129,000.

d. $230,000.

Sales $750.000

Cost of goods sold (500,000) (750,000/Cost +.5 Cost)

Bad debts expense (15,000)

S & A expense (105,000)

Depreciation expense (25,000)

Operating income 105,000

6.  The following data have been taken from the budget reports of a merchandising company.

Forty percent of purchases are paid for in cash at the time of purchase, and 30% are paid for in each of the next two months. Purchases for the previous November and December were $150,000 per month. Employee wages are 10% of sales for the month in which the sales occur. Selling and administrative expenses are 20% of the following month's sales. (July sales are budgeted to be $220,000.) Interest payments of $20,000 are paid quarterly in January and April. Brandon's cash disbursements for the month of April would be:
A.$140,000
B.$254,000
C.$200,000
D.$248,000

Cash disbursements for April:

7.  The Madona Company makes and sells a product called Product K. Each unit of Product K sells for $24 dollars and has a unit variable cost of $18. The company has budgeted the following data for November:
· Sales of $1,152,200, all in cash.
· A cash balance on November 1 of $48,000.
· Cash disbursements (other than interest) during November of $1,160,000.
· A minimum cash balance on November 30 of $60,000.
If necessary, the company will borrow cash from a bank. The borrowing will be in multiples of $1,000 and will bear interest at 2% per month. All borrowing will take place at the beginning of the month. The November interest will be paid in cash during November.
The amount of cash needed to be borrowed on November 1 to cover all cash disbursements and to obtain the desired November 30 cash balance is:
A.$20,000
B.$21,000
C.$37,000
D.$38,000

Since the company desires an ending cash balance of at least $60,000, the excess of cash available over disbursements is $40,200, and cash must be borrowed in multiples of $1,000, it would appear that the company must borrow at least $21,000. The remainders of the computations establish that this borrowing will suffice, including the interest on the borrowing.

8.  The following information is available for the Gabriel Products Company for the month of July:

Static Budget Actual

Units 5,000 5,100

Sales revenue $60,000 $58,650

Variable manufacturing costs $15,000 $16,320

Fixed manufacturing costs $18,000 $17,000

Variable marketing expense $10,000 $10,500

Fixed marketing and administrative expense $12,000 $11,000

The total sales-volume variance for the month of July would be

A. $2,550 unfavorable.

B. $1,350 unfavorable.

C. $700 favorable.

D. $100 favorable.

C $700. F. From the text, I used the formula: Sales Volume Variance for OI = Budgeted Contribution Margin x (Actual units sold – Static units sold). Step1: Calculate CM for the Static Budget: Revenues – VC = CM (60,000 – 15,000 -10,000= 35,000). Per unit CM = 35,000/5000= 7. Step 2: SVV = 7 x (Actual units sold – Static units sold) 7 x (5100 – 5000) = 700. Since we sold more than budgeted, it is a favorable variance.

9.  What is the actual sales revenue?
A.$156,000.
B.$169,000.
C.$180,000.
D.$191,000.


First, solve for actual variable marketing & administrative costs = $29,250; Second, add actual contribution margin to the actual variable costs to find actual sales = $169,000

10.  What is the sales revenue in the flexible budget?
A.$139,000.
B.$156,000.
C.$169,000.
D.$180,000.

$169,000 (actual sales from previous question) - $13,000 = $156,000

11.  What is the flexible budget contribution margin?
A.$39,000.
B.$45,000.
C.$52,000.
D.$58,000.

$156,000 - $91,000 - $26,000 = $39,000

12.  What is the master budget sales revenue?
A.$124,000.
B.$148,000.
C.$156,000.
D.$180,000.

($156,000/13,000) = $12 selling price; $12 ´ (13,000 + 2,000) = $180,000

13.  What is the master budget contribution margin?
A.$52,000.
B.$47,500.
C.$45,000.
D.$39,000.

$180,000 - $105,000 - $30,000 = $45,000

14.  The Reedy Company uses a standard costing system. The following data are available for November:



The actual direct labor rate for November is:
A.$8.80
B.$8.90
C.$9.00
D.$9.20

Labor rate variance = AH(AR - SR)
5,800 hours (AR - $9 per hour) = -$1,160
5,800 hours ´ AR - $52,200 = -$1,160
5,800 hours ´ AR = $51,040
AR = $51,040 ¸ 5,800 hours
AR = $8.80 per hour

15.  What is the direct materials price variance for ammonia?

A) $2,500 favorable

B) $2,500 unfavorable

C) $375 favorable

D) $375 unfavorable

Answer: D

Explanation: D) DM Price Variance = (standard price - actual price) × actual amount purchased

$375 U = ($.75 - $1) × 1,500

16.  What is the direct materials flexible budget variance for ammonia?

A) $1,125 unfavorable

B) $1,875 unfavorable

C) $1,125 favorable

D) $1,875 favorable

Answer: B

Explanation: B) DM Price Variance = (standard price - actual price) × actual amount purchased

$375 U = ($.75 - $1) × 1,500

Price variance / $375 / unfavorable
Quantity variance / $1,500 / Unfavorable
Direct material flexible budget variance (If both variances are favorable, add them; if both variances are unfavorable, add them; if one variance is favorable and the other is unfavorable, take the difference) / $1,875 / U

17.  What is the standard price for bleach?

A) $0.79/oz.

B) $0.88/oz.

C) $0.92/oz.

D) $1.14/oz.

Answer: A

Explanation: A) Price Variance = (Standard Price - Actual Price) × Actual Quantity Purchased

- 300 = (.79 - .9) × 2,800

18.  What is the direct material quantity variance for the bleach?

A) $378 favorable

B) $378 unfavorable

C) $978 favorable

D) $978 unfavorable

Answer: C

Explanation: C)

Price variance / $300 / Unfavorable
Flexible budget variance / $678 / Favorable
Quantity variance (If both price variance and flexible budget variance are favorable, then take the difference; if both are unfavorable, take the difference; if one is favorable and one is unfavorable, then add) / $978 / favorable

B) $3,937.50 unfavorable

C) $4,500 favorable

D) $3,937.50 favorable

D) $3,937.50 favorable

Answer: D

20.  What is the total variable overhead variance?

A) $7,875 unfavorable

B) $3,937.50 f unfavorable

C) $7,875 favorable

Explanation: C) Actual variable overhead - Flexible budgeted variable overhead

(7,875 mh × $31.00) - [16,000 × (9,000/18,000) mh × $31.50]

$244,125 - $252,000 = $7,875 favorable
