McCarthy Fender, which uses a standard cost system, manufactured 20,000 boat fenders during 2018. The 2018 revenue and cost information for McCarthy follows:
Sales Revenue \( 1,300,000
Cost of Goods Sold (at standard) 196,800
Direct materials cost variance 7,150 F
Direct materials efficiency variance 5,950 U
Direct labor cost variance 400 U
Direct labor efficiency variance 530 F
Variable overhead cost variance 650 U
Variable overhead efficiency variance 360 F
Fixed overhead cost variance 2,350 U
Fixed overhead volume variance 4,410 U
Assume each fender produced was sold for the standard price of \)65, and total selling and administrative costs were $250,000. Prepare a standard cost income statement for 2018 for McCarthy Fender
Preparing a standard cost income statement Review your results from Problem P23Â33B.
Middleton’s actual and standard sales price per mug is $5. Prepare the standard cost income statement for July 2018.
Murphy Company managers received the following incomplete performance report:

Complete the performance report. Identify the employee group that may deserve praise and the group that may be subject to criticism. Give your reasoning.
What is a variance?
Understanding variance relationships
Complete the table below for the missing variances.
Total Flexible Budget Product Cost Variance (a) |
Total direct material variance (b) | Total direct labor variance (c) | Total Manufacturing Overhead Variance (d) |
Direct material cost variance | Direct material efficiency variance | Direct Labor Cost Variance | Direct Labor Efficiency Variance | Total Variable Overhead Variance | Total fixed overhead variance |
\(310F | \)165U | \(160U | \)415F | (e) | (f) |
Variable Overhead Cost Variance | Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance | Fixed Overhead Cost Variance | ||||
\(525U | \)575F | $50F |
