Product Budgeted production Actual production
Units Standard machine hours Units
W 15,000 3,000 12,000
X 20,000 8,000 25,000
Y 14,000 7,000 16,000
Z 6,000 9,000 5,000
Total machine hours worked in the period amounted to 29,000 hours.
sir, i this question we are given list of standard hours.. but why these hours used as budgeted and we have to calculate standard hours??December 6, 2014 at 10:40 am #218827Question 1:
There is not enough information in the question (we need to be told how many workers there were at the end of the year)
December 6, 2014 at 10:41 am #218829Question 2:
Hours needed for production = 5 x 4800 = 24000
SInce 20% of hours paid are idle, it means paying for 24,000 x 100/80 = 30,000 hours
Cost if $10 per hour, so total of $300,000
December 6, 2014 at 10:43 am #218831Question 3
Standard hours are budgeted hours per unit.
