Question

Flandro Company uses a standard cost system and sets its predetermined overhead rate on the basis of direct labor-hours. The following data are taken from the company’s planning budget for the current year: Denominator activity (direct labor-hours) 19,000 Variable manufacturing overhead cost $ 62,700 Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 147,250 The standard cost card for the company’s only product is given below: Inputs (1) Standard Quantity or Hours (2) Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost (1) × (2) Direct materials 4 yards $ 2.10 per yard $ 8.40 Direct labor 2 hours $ 8.50 per hour 17.00 Manufacturing overhead 2 hours $ 11.05 per hour 22.10 Total standard cost per unit $ 47.50 During the year, the company produced 9,880 units of product and incurred the following actual results: Materials purchased, 62,700 yards at $2.00 per yard $ 125,400 Materials used in production (in yards) 40,750 Direct labor cost incurred, 20,000 hours at $8.10 per hour $ 162,000 Variable manufacturing overhead cost incurred $ 61,800 Fixed manufacturing overhead cost incurred $ 128,000 Required: 1. Create a new standard cost card that separates the variable manufacturing overhead per unit and the fixed manufacturing overhead per unit. 2. Compute the materials price and quantity variances. Also, compute the labor rate and efficiency variances. 3. Compute the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances. Also, compute the fixed overhead budget and volume variances.

Compute the materials price and quantity variances. Also, compute the labor rate and efficiency variances. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance.). Input all amounts as positive values.)

Answer 1

Part 1

Direct Materials	4	yards at	2.10	per yard	$ 8.40
Direct Labor	2	DLHs	8.50	per DLH	$    17.00
variable manufacturing Overhead	2	DLHs	3.30 [62700 / 19000]	per DLH	$       6.60
Fixed manufacturing Overhead	2	DLHs	7.75 [147250/19000]	per DLH	$ 15.50
Standard cost per unit					$ 47. 5

Part 2

Material Price Variance
(	Standard Rate	-	Actual Rate	)	x	Actual Quantity purchased
(	$ 2.10	-	$ 2.00	)	x	62700
	1287.5
	Variance		$ 6270			Favourable-F

Material Quantity Variance
(	Standard Quantity	-	Actual Quantity	)	x	Standard Rate
(	39520	-	40750	)	x	$2.10
	-2583
	Variance		$2583			Unfavourable-U

9880*4=39520

Labor Rate Variance
(	Standard Rate	-	Actual Rate	)	x	Actual Labor Hours
(	$ 8.50	-	$                       8.10	)	x	20000
	8000
	Variance		$ 8,000.00			Favourable-F

Labour Efficiency Variance
(	Standard Hours	-	Actual Hours	)	x	Standard Rate
(	19760	-	20000	)	x	$ 8.50
	-2040
	Variance		$ 2040.00			Unfavourable-U

9880*2=19760

Part 3

Variable Overhead Rate Variance
(	Standard Rate	-	Actual Rate	)	x	Actual Labor Hours
(	$                        3.30	-	$ 3.09	)	x	20000
	4200
	Variance		$ 4200.00			Favourable-F

61800/20000 = 3.09

Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance
(	Standard Hours	-	Actual Hours	)	x	Standard Rate
(	19760	-	20000	)	x	$                           3.30
	-792
	Variance		$ 792.00			Unfavourable-U

9880*2=19760

Fixed Overhead Production Budget Variance
(	Budgeted Fixed Overhead	-	Actual Fixed Overhead incurred	)
(	$ 147250.00	-	$ 128000.00	)
	19250
	Variance		19250			Favourable-F

Fixed Overhead Production Volume Variance
(	Standard Fixed Overhead or Fixed Overhead absorbed	-	Budgeted Fixed Overhead	)
(	$ 153140	-	$          14725.00	)
	5890
	Variance		5890			Favourable-F

9880*2*7.75=153140
