Answer the following questions using the information below: Midend’s Camera Shop has prepared the following flexible budget for September and is in the process of interpreting the variances. F denotes a favorable variance and U denotes an unfavorable variance.   Flexible Budget  Variances             Price Efficiency Material A $25,000 $1,500U $1,800F Material B 32,000 600F 900U Material C 42,000 1,300U 900F The actual amount spent for Material A was ________. Hint: Please use Chp 7 Formula Sheet. Recall: Flexible Budget Variance = Actual Results – Flexible Budget, and Flexible Budget Variance = Price Variance + Efficiency Variance.

Cocoa Pet Corporation manufactures two models of grooming stations, a Standard model and a Deluxe model. Total Overhead Costs are $160,000, which include Setup costs of $40,000 and Component-related costs of $120,000. In  Traditional Costing system, Total Overhead Costs are allocated based on Direct Labor Hours. In Activity-based Costing system, number of Setups and number of Components are used as cost drivers for Setup costs and Component-related costs, respectively.  Other information as below: Product Number of  Setups Number of Components Number of Direct Labor Hours Standard 3 30 650 Deluxe 7 50 150 What is the Allocation Rate of Total Overhead Costs in Traditional Costing system?

In the Traditional Costing system, is the Standard model Overcosted or Undercosted?
