Activity-based costing, batch-level variance analysis
 
  Audrina's Fleet Feet, Inc., produces dance shoes for stores all over the world. While the pairs of shoes are boxed individually, they are crated and shipped in batches. The shipping department records both variable direct batch-level costs and fixed batch-level overhead costs. The following information pertains to shipping department costs for 2014.
 
  Required:
  1. What is the static budget number of crates for 2014?
  2. What is the flexible budget number of crates for 2014?
  3. What is the actual number of crates shipped in 2014?
  4. Assuming fixed overhead is allocated using crate-packing hours, what is the predetermined fixed overhead allocation rate?
  5. For variable direct batch-level costs, compute the price and efficiency variances.
  6. For fixed overhead costs, compute the spending and the production-volume variances.

Question 2

Jamie's Lighting Company paid rent for the month, 2,500 . What are the effects on the fundamental accounting equation?
 a. Assets increase 2,500; liabilities, no effect; owner's equity increases 2,500.
  b. Assets decrease 2,500; liabilities, no effect; owner's equity increases 2,500.
  c. Assets decrease 2,500; liabilities, decrease 2,500; owner's equity, no effect.
  d. Assets decrease 2,500; liabilities, no effect; owner's equity decreases 2,500.

Answer to Question 1

1. Static budget number of crates = Budgeted pairs shipped / Budgeted pairs per crate
= 225,000/15
= 15,000 crates

2. Flexible budget number of crates = Actual pairs shipped / Budgeted pairs per crate
= 180,000/15
= 12,000 crates

3. Actual number of crates shipped = Actual pairs shipped / Actual pairs per box
= 180,000/10
= 18,000 crates

4. Static budget number of hours = Static budget number of crates  budgeted hours per box
= 15,000  0.9 = 13,500 hours

Fixed overhead rate = Static budget fixed overhead / static budget number of hours
= 54,000/13,500
= 4.00 per hour
