operating profit 14200 6200 U 20400 6000 U 26400
Ques 3
Actual costs = AQ * AP
Actual costs = 2.4*22000
Actual costs= 52800
Actual input at standard price
2.5*22000= 55000
Flexible production budget
std qt * std rate
2.5*20000 50000
So we have
price variance 2200 F
55000-52800=
Efficiency variance 5000 U
55000-50000
Total cost variance 2800 U
Ques 4
Actual costs = AH * AR
Actual costs =10.2*5000
Actual costs= 51000
Actual input at standard price
10*5000= 50000
Flexible production budget
std HRS * std rate
10*4000 40000
So we have
price variance 1000 U
55000-52800=
Efficiency variance 10000 U
50000-40000
Total cost variance 11000 U
