Clarissa McWhirter, vice-president of Cyprus Company, was pleased to see a small variance on the income statement after the trouble the company had been having in controlling manufacturing costs. She noted that the $35,865 overall manufacturing variance reported last period was well below the 3% limit that had been set for variances. The company produces and sells a single product. The standard cost card for the product follows:

Standard Cost Card—Per Unit
  Direct materials, 4 metres at $3.40 per metre $ 13.60
  Direct labour, 1.2 direct labour-hours at $14.0 per direct labour-hour 16.80
  Variable overhead, 1.2 direct labour-hours at $2.4 per direct labour-hour 2.88
  Fixed overhead, 1.2 direct labour-hours at $5 per direct labour-hour 6.00
  Standard cost per unit $ 39.28

The following additional information is available for the year just completed:

  1. The company manufactured 29,000 units of product during the year.
  2. A total of 115,050 metres of material was purchased during the year at a cost of $3.50 per metre. All of this material was used to manufacture the 29,000 units. There were no beginning or ending inventories for the year.
  3. The company worked 36,700 direct labour-hours during the year at a cost of $13.80 per hour.
  4. Overhead cost is applied to products on the basis of standard direct labour-hours. Data relating to manufacturing overhead costs follow:

  Actual fixed overhead costs $ 176,750
  Actual variable overhead costs $ 89,100

2. Compute the direct labour rate and efficiency variances for the year. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)

3. For manufacturing overhead, compute the following:

a. The variable overhead spending and efficiency variances for the year. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)

b. The fixed overhead budget and volume variances for the year. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)
