Nonfinancial performance output measures are used to improve the input measures.

The formula to compute the direct labor rate variance is to calculate the difference between

*Actual hours are equal to standard hours for units produced. -The total factory overhead cost variance is

Compute the standard cost for one pair of boots, based on the following standards for each pair of boots: Standard material quantity: 1.25 yards of leather at $35.00 per yard Standard labor: 9 hours at $25.75 per hour Factory overhead: $1.75 per direct labor hour

Standard and actual costs for direct labor for the manufacture of 300 units of product were as follows: Determine the direct labor a) time variance, b) rate variance, and c) total cost variance.

At the end of the fiscal year, the variances from standard are usually transferred to the finished goods account.

Accounting systems that use standards for product costs are called budgeted cost systems.

?If the actual quantity of direct materials used in producing a commodity differs from the standard quantity, the variance is a

Currently attainable standards do not allow for reasonable production difficulties.

The standard factory overhead rate is $7.50 per machine hour $6.20 for variable factory overhead and $1.30 for fixed factory overhead) based on 100% of normal capacity of 80,000 machine hours. The standard cost and the actual cost of factory overhead for the production of 15,000 units during August were as follows: -What is the amount of the variable factory overhead controllable variance?

Calculate the direct labor rate variance.

Non-financial measures are often linked to the inputs or outputs of an activity or process.

The standard costs and actual costs for direct materials for the manufacture of 2,500 actual units of product are Standard Costs Direct materials 2,500 kilograms @ $8.50 Actual Costs Direct materials 2,600 kilograms @ $8.75 The amount of the direct materials quantity variance is
