Bobby Brickley, operations manager, was reviewing the results for November when he became upset by the unfavorable variances he was seeing. In an attempt to understand what had happened, Bobby asked CFO Lila Davis for more information. She provided the following overhead budgets, along with the actual results for November.
The company purchased and used 116,400 yards of fabric during the month. Fabric purchases during the month were made at $1.45 per yard. The direct labor payroll ran $251,559, with an actual hourly rate of $12.1 per direct labor hour. The annual budgets were based on the production of 1,004,950 shirts, using 256,500 direct labor hours.
