Question

The following information is for the standard and actual costs for Happy Corporation:

Enter favorable variances as negative numbers.

Standard Costs:

Budgeted units of production - 16,000 [80% (or normal) capacity]

Standard labor hours per unit - 4

Standard labor rate - $26 per hour

Standard material per unit - 8 lb.

Standard material cost - $12 per pound

Standard variable overhead rate - $15 per labor hour

Budgeted fixed overhead - $640,000

Fixed overhead rate is based on budgeted labor hours at 80% (or normal) capacity.

Actual Cost:

Actual production - 16,500 units

Actual material purchased and used - 130,000 pounds

Actual total material cost - $1,600,000

Actual labor - 65,000 hours

Actual total labor costs - $1,700,000

Actual variable overhead - $1,000,000

Actual fixed overhead - $640,000

a. Determine the following:

Quantity variance:	$fill in the blank 1
Price variance:	$fill in the blank 3
Total direct material cost variance:	$fill in the blank 5

b. Determine the following:

Time variance:	$fill in the blank 7
Rate variance:	$fill in the blank 9
Total direct labor cost variance:	$fill in the blank 11

c. Determine the following:

Volume variance:	$fill in the blank 13
Controllable variance:	$fill in the blank 15
Total factory overhead cost variance:	$fill in the blank 17

Definition Definition System of assigning an estimated cost to the product (instead of the actual cost) so that the product cost can be determined well in advance and the pricing of the product can be done on time. Since the actual cost cannot be predicted at the initial stage of the production process, the estimated cost is recorded in the books. Any deviation of the estimated cost of the actual cost is adjusted in the books at the end of the period.
