Your company has forecasted 400 units of product 'A'
1	Expected material usage for product 'A' is 1 foot of material per unit
2	Expected material price for each unit of product 'A' is $5 per foot
3	Expected labor hours for product 'A' is 3 hours per unit
4	Expected labor rate for product 'A' is $20 per hour
5	Expected variable labor efficiency is $2
6	Variable overhead is apportioned using direct labor hours
7	Budgeted fixed overhead was $30,000 for the year
8	Budgeted volume was 10,000 units for the year
Your company actually produced 500 units of product 'A'
7	Actual material usage for product 'A' was 1.5 feet of material per unit
8	Actual material price for product 'A' was $7 per foot
9	Actual labor hours for product 'A' was 2 per unit
10	Actual labor rate for product 'A' was $10 per hour
11	Total spend on fixed manufacturing overhead was $25,000 for the year
12	Total direct labor hours were 8,000 for the year
13	Actual volume was 12,000 units for the year
