Exercise 12
Flexible Budget, Standard Cost Variances, T-Accounts
Ingles Company manufactures external hard drives. At the beginning of the period, the following plans for production and costs were revealed:
Flexible Budget, Standard Cost Variances, T-Accounts  Ingles Company manufactures external hard drives. At the beginning of the period, the following plans for production and costs were revealed:     During the year, 24,800 units were produced and sold. The following actual costs were incurred:     There were no beginning or ending inventories of direct materials. The direct materials price variance was $10,168 unfavorable. In producing the 24,800 units, a total of 12,772 hours were worked, 3 percent more hours than the standard allowed for the actual output. Overhead costs are applied to production using direct labor hours. Required:  1. Prepare a performance report comparing expected costs to actual costs. 2. Determine the following:  a. Direct materials usage variance b. Direct labor rate variance c. Direct labor usage variance d. Fixed overhead spending and volume variances e. Variable overhead spending and efficiency variances 3. Use T-accounts to show the flow of costs through the system. In showing the flow, you do not need to show detailed overhead variances. Show only the over- and underapplied variances for fixed and variable overhead.
