The following materials standards have been established for a particular product:

Standard quantity per unit of output	4.5	grams
Standard price	$12.00	per grams

The following data pertain to operations concerning the product for the last month:

Actual materials purchased	3,400	grams
Actual cost of materials purchased	$ 39,610
Actual materials used in production	2,700	grams
Actual output	530	units

The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased.

The following standards for variable overhead have been established for a company that makes only one product:

Standard hours per unit of output	6.5	hours
Standard variable overhead rate	$13.00	per hour

The following data pertain to operations for the last month:

Actual hours	9,800	hours
Actual total variable overhead cost	$125,200
Actual output	1,500	units

Required:

a.

What is the variable overhead rate variance for the month? (Input the amount as a positive value. Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance.) b. What is the variable overhead efficiency variance for the month? (Input the amount as a positive value. Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance.)

Answer 1

18)Materials price variance =Actual cost [AQ purchased *SR]

           39610- [3400*12]

             39610-40800

              -1190 F

Materials quantity variance =SR[AQ-SQ]

             12[2700- (530*4.5)]

               12[2700- 2385]

               3780 U

19)Variable overhead rate = AH[AR-SR]

             = 125200- [9800*13]

                 125200 - 12740

                   - 2200 F

Variable overhead efficiency variance =SR[AH-SH]

           = 13 [9800- (1500*6.5)]

               13[9800-9750]

                 650 U

20)Correct option is ""B -4.2%

margin =net operating income /sales

         = 738360/17580000

         = .042 or 4.2%

21) correct option is " B"'

Division turnover =sales /average operating asset

           = 17560000/4300000

            =4.08
