Direct materials variances Bellingham Company produces a product that requires 2.5 standard pounds per unit. The standard price is 3.75 per pound. If 15,000 units used 36,000 pounds, which were purchased at 4.00 per pound, what is the direct materials (A) price variance, (B) quantity variance, and (C) cost variance?
Calculating factory overhead: two variances Munoz Manufacturing Co. normally produces 10,000 units of product X each month. Each unit requires 2 hours of direct labor, and factory overhead is applied on a direct labor hour basis. Fixed costs and variable costs in factory overhead at the normal capacity are 2.50 and 1.50 per direct labor hour, respectively. Cost and production data for May follow: a. Calculate the flexible-budget variance. b. Calculate the production-volume variance. c. Was the total factory overhead under- or overapplied? By what amount?
Factory overhead volume variance Bellingham Company produced 15,000 units of product that required 4 standard direct labor hours per unit.

Direct materials and direct labor variance analysis Lenni Clothing Co. manufactures clothing in a small manufacturing facility. Manufacturing has 25 employees. Each employee presently provides 40 hours of productive labor per week. Information about a production week is as follows: Instructions Determine (A) the standard cost per unit for direct materials and direct labor; (B) the price variance, quantity variance, and total direct materials cost variance; and (C) the rate variance, time variance, and total direct labor cost variance.
Calculating factory overhead: two variances Monrovia Manufacturing Inc. normally produces 10,000 units of product A each month. Each unit requires 4 hours of direct labor, and factory overhead is applied on a direct labor hour basis. Fixed costs and variable costs in factory overhead at the normal capacity are 10 and 5 per unit, respectively. Cost and production data for June follow: a. Calculate the flexible-budget variance. b.

Standard cost summary; materials and labor cost variances Perkins Processors Inc. produces an average of 10,000 units each month. The factory standards are 20,000 hours of direct labor and 10,000 pounds of materials for this volume. The standard cost of direct labor is 9.00 per hour, and the standard cost of materials is 4.00 per pound. The standard factory overhead at this level of production is 20,000. During the current month the production and cost reports reflected the following information: On the basis of this information: 1. Prepare a standard cost summary. 2. Calculate the materials (use the materials purchase price variance) and labor cost variances, and indicate whether they are favorable or unfavorable, using the formulas on pages 421422 and 424.
Calculation of materials and labor variances Fritz Corp. manufactures and sells a single product. The company uses a standard cost system. The standard cost per unit of product follows: The charges to the manufacturing department for November, when 5,000 units were produced, follow: The Purchasing department normally buys about the same quantity as is used in production during a month. In November, 5,500 lb were purchased at a price of $2.90 per pound. Required: Calculate the following from standard costs for the data given, using the formulas on pages 421–422 and 424: Materials quantity variance. Materials purchase price variance (at time of purchase). Labor efficiency variance. Labor rate variance. Give some reasons as to why both the materials quantity variance and labor efficiency variance might be unfavorable.
Direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead cost variance analysis Mackinaw Inc. processes a base chemical into plastic. Standard costs and actual costs for direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead incurred for the manufacture of 40,000 units of product were as follows: Each unit requires 0.3 hour of direct labor. Instructions Determine (A) the direct materials price variance, direct materials quantity variance, and total direct materials cost variance; (B) the direct labor rate variance, direct labor time variance, and total direct labor cost variance; and (C) the variable factory overhead controllable variance, fixed factory overhead volume variance, and total factory overhead cost variance.
Kavallia Company set a standard cost for one item at 328,000; allowable deviation is 14,500. Actual costs for the past six months are as follows: Required: 1. Calculate the variance from standard for each month. Which months should be investigated? 2. What if the company uses a two-part rule for investigating variances? The allowable deviation is the lesser of 4 percent of the standard amount or 14,500. Now which months should be investigated?
Materials and labor variances Fausto Fabricators Inc. uses a standard cost system to account for its single product. The standards established for the product include the following: The following operating data came from the records for the month: In process, beginning inventory, none. In process, ending inventory, 800 units, 80% complete as to labor; material is issued at the beginning of processing. Completed during the month, 5,600 units. Materials issued to production were 51,680 lb @ .55 per pound. Direct labor was 384,000 for 40,000 hours worked. Required: Calculate the following variances, using the diagram format in Figure 8-4. 1. Materials price. 2. Materials quantity. 3. Net materials variance. 4. Labor rate. 5. Labor efficiency. 6. Net labor variance. (Hint: Before determining the standard quantity for materials and labor, you must first compute the equivalent units of production for materials and labor.)
Variance interpretation Vanadium Audio Inc. is a small manufacturer of electronic musical instruments. The plant manager received the following variable factory overhead report for the past month of operations: Actual units produced: 15,000 (90% of practical capacity) The plant manager is not pleased with the 12,320 unfavorable variable factory overhead controllable variance and has come to discuss the matter with the controller. The following discussion occurred: Plant Manager: I just received this factory report for the latest month of operations. Im not very pleased with these figures. Before these numbers go to headquarters, you and I need to reach an understanding. Controller: Go ahead. Whats the problem? Plant Manager: Whats the problem? Well, everything. Look at the variance. Its too large. If I understand the accounting approach being used here, you are assuming that my costs are variable to the units produced. Thus, as the production volume declines, so should these costs. Well, I dont believe these costs are variable at all. I think they are fixed costs. As a result, when we operate below capacity, the costs really dont go down. Im being penalized for costs I have no control over. I need this report to be redone to reflect this fact. If anything, the difference between actual and budget is essentially a volume variance. Listen, I know that youre a team player. You really need to reconsider your assumptions on this one. Assume you are the controller. Write a memo responding to the plant manager.
At the end of the period, the factory overhead account has a credit balance of 10,000. (a) Is the total factory cost variance favorable or unfavorable? (b) Are the controllable and volume variances favorable or unfavorable?
