Casco Co. planned to produce and sell 40,000 units. At that volume level, variable costs are determined to be $320,000 and fixed costs are $30,000. The planned selling price is $10 per unit. Casco actually produced and sold 42,000 units. Using a contribution margin format: (a) Prepare a fixed budget income statement for the planned level of sales and production. (b) Prepare a flexible budget income statement for the actual level of sales and production.

The entry to charge Goods in Process Inventory for the standard material costs during the month and to record the direct material variances in the accounts would include:


A) A debit to Goods in Process for $19,500.
B) A credit to Raw Materials for $19,270.

Quantity variances for direct cost categories (direct materials and direct labor) are based on differences between the actual inputs used and the standard inputs allowed for the actual output achieved. A key difference in the analysis of quantity variances for direct cost categories and the analysis of the efficiency variance for variable overhead is:


A) An efficiency variance for variable overhead cannot be calculated.
B) The flexible-budget variance for variable overhead is always equal to the efficiency variance for variable overhead.
C) The efficiency variance for variable overhead is based on the cost effectiveness in using the cost-allocation base.
D) The flexible-budget variance for variable overhead is always equal to the spending variance for variable overhead.
E) There is no key difference between the analysis of quantity variances for direct cost categories and the analysis of the efficiency variance for variable overhead; they should be evaluated in exactly the same manner.
