Erie Company manufactures an MP3 player called the Jogging Mate. The company uses standards to control its
costs. The labour and variable overhead standards that have been set for one Jogging Mate MP3 player are as
follows:
Direct labour
Variable overhead
Standard Hours
18 minutes
18 minutes
Direct labour cost
Standard Rate per
Hour
$18.00
$ 5.00
Budgeted fixed overhead was estimated to be $30,000 per month. Fixed overhead cost is applied using direct
labour-hours. During August, 5,450 hours of direct labour time was recorded in the manufacture of 19,000 units of
the Jogging Mate. The direct labour cost totalled $109,100 for the month. Actual variable overhead and fixed
overhead costs were $20,710 and $30,400, respectively.
Standard Cost
$ 5.40
$ 1.50
Required:
1-a. What direct labour cost should have been incurred in the manufacture of the 19.000 units of the Jogging Mate?
(Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Variance
1-b. Calculate the total direct labor cost variance? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Indicate the effect of
each variance by selecting "F" for favourable, "U" for unfavourable, and "None" for no effect (i.e.. zero
variance).)

variance by selecting "F" for favourable, "U" for unfavourable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)
Variable overhead spending variance
Variable overhead efficiency varian
Volume variance
4. Suppose the static budget volume is 18.000 players-this is the denominator volume. Compute the volume
variance for fixed overhead cost. (Round intermediate calculations to the nearest whole dollar amount. Indicate
the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favourable, "U" for unfavourable, and "None" for no effect (i.e.,
zero variance).)

5. Suppose that the static budget volume is also the normal volume and that the budgeted variable overhead cost
in the static budget is $30,000. Given the standard cost card data in the question, calculate the under-or
overapplied fixed overhead for August. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
