99. The Clayton Company uses a standard cost system in which manufacturing overhead
costs are applied to units of the company’s single product on the basis of standard direct labor–
hours (DLHs). The standard cost card for the product follows:
The following data pertain to last year’s activities:
• The company manufactured 18,000 units of product during the year. A total of 70,200 yards of
material was purchased during the year at a cost of $3.75 per yard. All of this material was used
to manufacture the 18,000 units.
• The company worked 29,250 direct labor-hours during the year at a cost of $7.80 per hour.
• The denominator activity level was 22,500 direct labor-hours.
• Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead costs were $135,000 while actual manufacturing
overhead costs were $133,200.
• Actual variable overhead costs were $61,425.
Required:
a. Compute the direct materials price and quantity variances for the year.
b. Compute the direct labor rate and efficiency variances for the year.
c. Compute the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances for the year.
d. Compute the fixed manufacturing overhead budget and volume variances for the year.

100. Mountain Manufacturing uses a standard cost system in which manufacturing overhead
is applied to units of product on the basis of standard machine-hours. At standard, each unit of
product requires one machine-hour to complete. The standard variable overhead is $1.75 per
machine-hour and Budgeted Fixed Manufacturing Costs are $300,000 per year. The denominator
level of activity is 150,000 machine-hours, or 150,000 units. Actual data for the year were as
follows:
Required:
a. What are the predetermined variable and fixed manufacturing overhead rates for the year?
b. Compute the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances for the year.
c. Compute the fixed manufacturing overhead budget and volume variances for the year.
