  Net operating income (loss)    $ 14,420    $ (2,700)
    
*Contains direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead.

Janet Dunn, who has just been appointed general manager of the Westwood Plant, has been given instructions to “get things under control.” Upon reviewing the plant’s income statement, Ms. Dunn has concluded that the major problem lies in the variable cost of goods sold. She has been provided with the following standard cost per swimming pool:

Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price
or Rate
Standard Cost
  Direct materials    3.9 pounds $ 2.30 per pound $ 8.97   
  Direct labor    0.8 hours $ 6.90 per hour    5.52   
  Variable manufacturing overhead    0.6 hours* $ 2.40 per hour    1.44   
    
  Total standard cost $ 15.93   
    
*Based on machine-hours.
     During June the plant produced 6,000 pools and incurred the following costs:
a.

Purchased 28,400 pounds of materials at a cost of $2.75 per pound.

b.

Used 23,200 pounds of materials in production. (Finished goods and work in process inventories are insignificant and can be ignored.)

c. Worked 5,400 direct labor-hours at a cost of $6.60 per hour.
d.

Incurred variable manufacturing overhead cost totaling $10,920 for the month. A total of 3,900 machine-hours was recorded.

1. Compute the following variances for June:

b.

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).)

           

c.

Variable overhead rate and efficiency variances. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)

           

2.

Summarize the variances that you computed in (1) above by showing the net overall favorable or unfavorable variance for the month. (Input all values as positive amounts. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)
