End of Chapter “A” Chapter 8: Standard Costing Exercises (Short Questions) Exercise 8A-1 Target Industries manufactures a mold-formed dog dish made out of plastic. The standard quantity of material input is 2.2 L of a liquified petroleum product with a standard cost of $1.76/L. In 2021 Target produced 8,000 dog dishes consuming 16,400 L of the input material at a cost of $30,340. Determine a. the direct material quantity variance (include U or F) b. the direct material price variance (include U or F) c. the spending variance (include U or F) (301/LO8.2/medium) Exercise 8A-2 On average, Target’s standard is to produce one dog dish for every 15 minutes of labour, with a standard labour cost of $24/hour. In 2021, workers logged 2,400 hours at a cost of $50,400 in the production of 8,000 dog dishes. Determine a. the direct labour efficiency variance (include U or F) b. the direct labour rate variance (include U or F) c. the direct labour spending variance (include U or F) (304/LO8.3/medium) Exercise 8A-3 Maximum Machining Company applies manufacturing overhead to its products based on actual machine hours used. The standard is based on budgeted variable manufacturing overhead of $400,000 for the production of 80,000 units requiring a total of 160,000 machine hours. In 20X2, the actual variable manufacturing overhead cost were $394,680 using 171,600 machine hours to produce 78,000 units. Determine a. the variable manufacturing overhead spending variance (include U or F) b. the variable manufacturing overhead efficiency variance (include U or F) c. the variable manufacturing overhead total variance (include U or F) (307/LO8.4/medium)
End of Chapter “A” Chapter 8: Standard Costing Problems (Long Questions) Problem 8A-1 Barracuda Industries has the following incomplete information available regarding its budgeted and actual variable costs for 20X1 and their variances. Barracuda allocates variable manufacturing overhead on the basis of machine hours. Required: a. Please complete the table based on the information that is provided. The grey-shaded cells must be solved first and can be solved based on information that is provided . The second group to be solved have green-shaded backgrounds. After these are solved, others will follow. Budgeted Values Actual values Quantity to produce: 10,000 Quantity produced: 12,000 Direct Materials Required (kg): 150,000 Direct Materials Used (kg): Direct Materials cost/kg: Direct Materials Cost/kg: $16.00 Direct Labour Hours Required: Direct Labour Hours Used: 32,000 Direct Labour Rate ($/dlh): $40.00 Direct Labour Rate ($/dlh): Machine Hours: 15,000 Machine Hours Used: Variable Mfg Overhead Costs: $90,000 Var. Mfg Overhead Incurred: $100,000 Actual Costs at actual quantity Variance Name Amount (F/U) Standard costs at actual quantity Variance Name Amount (F/U) Standard costs at standard amounts (budget) Direct Materials $3,120,000 Total Variance: $60,000 U Direct Labour Rate Variance Efficiency Variance $64,000 F $80,000 U Total Variance: Var. Mfg. Ovrhd Efficiency Variance - Total Variance: b. Based on the information provided, suggest at least one possible explanation for one of the variances of each variable cost component.
