Answer 1

	Cost card
	Particulars	Standard cost for actual production	Particulars	Actual cost
	Quantity & hour	Rate($/lb & $/hr)	Amount	Quantity & hour	Rate($/lb & $/hr)	Amount
	Direct Material	480.00	20.00	$                  9,600	Material purchased	800.00	6.25	$                     5,000.00
			($8000/400kg)		Material used	700.00	6.25	$                     4,375.00
					Closing material	100.00		$                         625.00
	Direct labour	42000.00	11.00	$            4,62,000	Direct labour	46,102.00	16.50	$                5,07,080.00
			($385000/35000)
	Variable overhead	42000.00	10.00	$            4,20,000	Variable overhead	35,300.00	11.87	$                4,19,161.00
			($350000/35000)
	Fixed overhead			$            1,60,000	Fixed overhead			$                1,61,000.00
	Total Standard manufacturing cost	$         10,51,600
		Budgeted unit		10,000
		Actual unit		12,000
	Computation of variances:
1	Material Price variance = (Standard rate - Actual rate) * Actual quantity purchase
	Material Price variance = ($20 - $6.25) X 800 pound   = $11000 (Favourable)
2	Material efficiency variance = (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity used) * Standard rate
	Material efficiency variance = (480 pound   - 700 pound ) X $20 = $-4400 (Unfavourable)
3	Labor Rate variance = (Standard rate - Actual rate) * Actual hours
	Labor Rate variance = ($11/hr - $16.5/hr) X 46102 hr = $-253561 (Unfavourable)
4	Labor efficiency variance = (Standard Hours - Actual Hours) * Standard rate
	Labor efficiency variance = (42000 hr - 46102 hr) X $11/hr = $-45122 (Unfavourable)
5	Variable Overhead rate variance = (Standard rate - Actual rate) * Actual hour used
	Variable Overhead rate variance = ($12/hr - $12.04/hr) X 35300 hr = $-1400 (Unfavourable)
6	Variable overhead efficiency variance = (Standard hour - Actual hour) * Standard rate
	Variable overhead efficiency variance = (42000 hr - 35300 hr) X $10/hr = $67000 (Favourable)
7	Fixed Overhead Budget variance = (Actual Fixed overhead - Budgeted Fixed overhead
	Fixed Overhead Budget variance = ($161000 - $160000) = $-1000 (Unfavourable)
8	Fixed overhead Volume variance = (Actual output - Budgeted output) * Budgeted Overhead rate
	Fixed overhead Volume variance = (12000 unit - 10000 unit ) X ($160000 / 10000 unit ) = $32000 (Favourable)	ekkarill92 Next > < Previous Related Solutions Original Budget Actual Flexible Budget Units Produced (in units) 10,000 12,000 ?
