Direct Materials Variances LO10–1 Bandar Industries Berhad of Malaysia manufactures sporting equipment. One of the company’s products, a football helmet for the North American market, requires a special plastic. During the quarter ending June 30, the company manufactured 35,000 helmets, using 22,500 kilograms of plastic. The plastic cost the company $171,000. According to the standard cost card, each helmet should require 0.6 kilograms of plastic, at a cost of $8 per kilogram.

2.

     Alternatively, the variances can be computed using the formulas:

         Materials quantity variance = SP (AQ – SQ)

            = $ _____per Kilogram (_______ Kilogram – _____ Kilogram)

            = $______ __

         Materials price variance = AQ (AP – SP)

            = _____ Kilogram ($____ per Kilogram* – $___ per Kilogram)

            = $____ __

            *$171,000 / 22,500 Kilogram = $____ per Kilogram.

Destin Company recently acquired several businesses and recognized goodwill in each acquisition. Destin has allocated the resulting goodwill to its three reporting units: Sand Dollar, Salty Dog, and Baytowne.

Haggstrom, Inc., manufactures steel fittings. Each fitting requires both steel and an alloy that allows the fitting to be used under extreme conditions. The following data apply to the production of the fittings:

The plant and equipment depreciation and miscellaneous costs are fixed and are based on production of 250,000 units annually. All other costs are variable. Plant capacity is 300,000 units annually. All other overhead costs are variable.

The following are forecast for year 2. Contract negotiations with the union are expected to lead to an increase in hourly direct labor costs of 4 percent, mostly in the form of additional benefits. Commodity prices, including steel, are expected to decline by 10 percent due to the economic slowdown. Alloy prices are expected to remain constant. Plant and equipment depreciation costs are expected to increase by 6 percent. All other unit overhead costs are expected to remain constant.

Haggstrom expects to sell 290,000 units in year 2. The current inventory of fittings is 20,000 units, and management would like to see a reduction of inventory of 10,000 units by the end of the year 2. Steel and alloy inventories will not change. Sales are approximately uniform over the year.
