Problem 10A-10(Static) Comprehensive Standard Cost Variances [LO10-1, LO10-2, LO10-3, LO10-4]
Wonderful! Not only did our salespeople do a good job in meeting the sales budget this year, but our production people did a good job in controlling costs as well, said Kim Clark, president of Martell Company. Our $18,300 overall manufacturing cost variance is only 1.2% of the $1,536,000 standard cost of products made during the year. Thats well within the 3% parameter set by management for acceptable variances. It looks like everyone will be in line for a bonus this year.
The company produces and sells a single product with a standard cost card as follows:
