The standard quantity or standard hours allowed refers to the amount of the input that should have been used to produce the actual output of the period
True
The labor rate variance measures the difference between the actual hourly rate and the standard hourly rate, multiplied by the standard hours allowed for the actual output.
false
Material price variances are often isolated at the time materials are purchased, rather than when they are placed into production, to facilitate earlier recognition of variances.
true
Residual income is the difference between net operating income and the product of average operating assets and the minimum rate of return
true
Residual income can be used most effectively in comparing the performance of divisions of different size
false
BBP Corporation's standards call for 1,000 direct labor-hours to produce 250 units of product. During February the company worked 1,250 direct labor-hours and produced 300 units. The standard hours allowed for February would be:
A. 1,250 hours
B. 1,000 hours
C. 1,200 hours
D. 1,300 hours
Standard hours per unit of output = direct labor hours/units

Standard hours allowed = units * direct labor per unit

C. 1,200 hours
Standard hours per unit of output
direct labor hours/units
Stand hours allowed
units * direct labor per unit
