Assessment Task 1
- a) Which cost driver probably would be most suitable for allocating overhead costs?
Machine hours
- Using machine hours as the cost driver, what overhead recovery rate will be used for the year
- Product A requires ½ hour of machine time and Product B requires 3 hours. What are their overhead costs per unit?
- Factory overhead application rate
- Overhead applied in the period
- Under and over-applied overhead for the period
- Flexible Budget formula
- Spending Variance
This is the difference between the Actual Factory Overhead (AFOH) and the Budgeted Allowance based on Standard Hour (BAAH)
- Capacity Variance
This is the difference between Budgeted Allowance based on Standard Hour (BAAH) and Actual Hour based on Standard rate (AH×SR)
Assignment Task 2
- How many units must be produced and sold to break-even?
- Calculate the margin of safety as a percentage.
- Determine the expected profit or loss if selling price decreases by 10% and all other cost and revenue relationships remain the same.
- Determine the expected profit or loss if sales volume decreases by 10% and all other cost and revenue relationships remain the same.
- Fixed costs increase by 70% and all other cost and revenue relationships remain the same, determine the expected net profit or loss.

Assessment Task 3
- Show calculations for the cost of direct materials requisitioned using the stipulated cost assignment methods. You are not required to prepare stock cards but may do so if you wish. A total stocktake adjustment will need to be recorded later in the general ledger account only-information is not supplied as to the stocktake balance for each of the two direct material items.
