Performance Report Based on Actual Production Nadia Tamimi, controller for First-Aid-Care Company, has been instructed to develop a flexible budget for overhead costs. The company produces two types of bandages for hospitals: (1) Young-Ones, designed for children, and (2) Surga-Aid, designed for use on larger injuries. The two lines of bandages use common raw materials in different proportions. The company expects to produce 80,000 cartons of each product during the coming year. Young-Ones requires 0.20 direct labour hours per carton, and Surga-Aid requires 0.30 direct labour hours per carton. Nadia has developed the following fixed and variable costs for each of the four overhead items: Overhead Item Fixed Cost Variable Rate per Direct Labour Hour Maintenance $57,250 $0.50 Power 0.40 Indirect labour 43,500 2.10 Rent 39,000 Assume that First-Aid-Care actually produced 100,000 cartons of Young-Ones and 90,000 cartons of Surga-Aid. The actual overhead costs incurred were as follows: Maintenance $ 81,300 Power 18,700 Indirect labour 143,600 Rent 39,000 Required: 1. Calculate the number of direct labour hours budgeted for actual production of the two products. direct labour hours 2. Prepare a performance report for the period based on actual production. In the variance type column, type "F" for favourable and "U" for unfavourable. If the variance is zero, enter ("0") in the variance amount column and "N" for neither in the variance type column. (Note: Be sure to use capital letters.)
