1) Prepare a comprehensice and meaningful performance report for the year. Your report should show a) the static budget variance, b) the volume variance and c) the flexible budget variance.
2) Provide a summary of your findings regarding the Company's results for the period. Which of these variances are considered "controllable" and which are not?
3) Assuming that the company manufactures ONE PRODUCT, explain the company’s SALES performance.
4) If, instead, the company manufactured MULTIPLE PRODUCTS, what might have accounted for the variances noted in #3 above?
NOW ASSUME that the following standards have been established for the produciton of one unit:
Direct
materials
5 lbs @ $13 per lb.
Direct
Labor
1 hour @ $15 per hr.
The actual results shown above reflect actual materials usage of 118,500 pounds and actual labor of 22,240 hours.
5) What is meant by a standard, as used above? WHY are these important?
6) Further break down the Flexible Budget Variance (Standard Cost Variance) by computing and analyzing the direct materials price and usage (quantity) variances AND the direct labor rate and efficiency variances. Explain TWO possible causes for each.
7) NOW ASSUME that the company uses a standard costing system for recording product costs. The company recognizes direct materials variances at the time of usage. Journalize the following, assuming that the company uses normal costing AND standard costing:
a) Direct materials purchases, on account
b) Direct materials payments to vendors
c) Direct materials usage in production
d) Direct materials variances
e) Direct labor incurrence in production
f) Payments to direct labor employees
8) Provide the journal entries required to dispose of the variances computed in #8(d) and #8(g) above, assuming that these amounts are considered immaterial.
9) NOW ASSUME that the variances computed above are considered material. Would this change the entry? How would this be handled? What additional information would be needed?
