Step 1
First, we need to calculate the budgeted cost per unit for each cost element. To do this, we divide the total budgeted cost for each element by the budgeted production level of 95,000 units: - Raw materials: 133,000 / 95,000 = 1.40 per unit - Direct labour: Show more…

The company used 5,540 liters of direct material and 1,690 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The company purchased 5,900 liters of the direct material at $57.30 per liter. The actual direct labor rate was $525.10 per hour, and the actual variable overhead rate was $51.80 per hour. The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. The variable overhead rate variance for September is:

Holton Company makes three products in a single facility. Data concerning these products follow: Product A B C Selling price per unit $ 125.40 $ 79.90 $ 168.00 Direct materials $ 54.60 $ 44.50 $ 100.90 Direct labor $ 39.30 $ 14.20 $ 30.00 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 7.50 $ 4.60 $ 14.00 Variable selling cost per unit $ 14.30 $ 3.30 $ 8.60 Mixing minutes per unit 25.30 2.50 2.50 Monthly demand in units 3,000 1,000 2,000 The mixing machines are potentially the constraint in the production facility. A total of 14,000 minutes are available per month on these machines. Direct labor is a variable cost in this company. Required: a. How many minutes of mixing machine time would be required to satisfy demand for all three products? b. How much of each product should be produced to maximize net operating income? c. Up to how much should the company be willing to pay for one additional hour of mixing machine time if the company has made the best use of the existing mixing machine capacity?

Edgerron Company is able to produce two products, G and B, with the same machine in its factory. The following information is available. Product G Product B Selling price per unit $150 $180 Variable costs per unit 60 108 Contribution margin per unit $90 $72 Machine hours to produce 1 unit 0.4 hours 1.0 hours Maximum unit sales per month 550 units 200 units The company presently operates the machine for a single eight-hour shift for 22 working days each month. Management is thinking about operating the machine for two shifts, which will increase its productivity by another eight hours per day for 22 days per month. This change would require $9,000 additional fixed costs per month. (Round hours per unit answers to 1 decimal place. Enter operating losses, if any, as negative values.) Required: 1. Determine the contribution margin per machine hour that each product generates. 2. How many units of product G and product B should the company produce if it continues to operate with only one shift? How much total contribution margin does this mix produce each month?
