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.
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.
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.)
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.
Computing materials variances D-List Calendar Co. specializes in manufacturing calendars that depict obscure comedians. The company uses a standard cost system to control its costs. During one month of operations, the direct materials costs and the quantities of paper used showed the following: Calculate the following: 1. Total cost of purchases for the month 2. Materials purchase price variance 3. Materials quantity variance 4. Net materials variance
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?
Refer to Cornerstone Exercise 8.13. In March, Nashler Company produced 163,200 units and had the following actual costs: Required: 1. Prepare a performance report for Nashler Company comparing actual costs with the flexible budget for actual units produced. 2. What if Nashler Companys actual direct materials cost were 1,175,040? How would that affect the variance for direct materials? The total cost variance?
Eagle Inc. uses a standard cost system. During the most recent period, the company manufactured 115,000 units. The standard cost sheet indicates that the standard direct labor cost per unit is $1.50. The performance report for the period includes an unfavorable direct labor rate variance of $3,700 and a favorable direct labor time variance of $10,275. What was the total actual cost of direct labor incurred during the period?
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.
H.J. Heinz Company uses standards to control its materials costs. Assume that a batch of ketchup (7,650 pounds) has the following standards: The actual materials in a batch may vary from the standard due to tomato characteristics. Assume that the actual quantities of materials for batch 08-99 were as follows: a.Determine the standard unit materials cost per pound for a standard batch. b.Determine the direct materials quantity variance for batch 08-99.
Using variance analysis and interpretation Last year, Endicott Corp. adopted a standard cost system. Labor standards were set on the basis of time studies and prevailing wage rates. Materials standards were determined from materials specifications and the prices then in effect. On June 30, the end of the current fiscal year, a partial trial balance revealed the following: Standards set at the beginning of the year have remained unchanged. All inventories are priced at standard cost. What conclusions can be drawn from each of the four variances shown in Endicotts trial balance?
Yohan Company has the following balances in its direct materials and direct labor variance accounts at year-end: Unadjusted Cost of Goods Sold equals 1,500,000, unadjusted Work in Process equals 236,000, and unadjusted Finished Goods equals 180,000. Required: 1. Assume that the ending balances in the variance accounts are immaterial and prepare the journal entries to close them to Cost of Goods Sold. What is the adjusted balance in Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the variances? 2. What if any ending balance in a variance account that exceeds 10,000 is considered material? Close the immaterial variance accounts to Cost of Goods Sold and prorate the material variances among Cost of Goods Sold, Work in Process, and Finished Goods on the basis of prime costs in these accounts. The prime cost in Cost of Goods Sold is 1,050,000, the prime cost in Work in Process is 165,200, and the prime cost in Finished Goods is 126,000. What are the adjusted balances in Work in Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold after closing out all variances? (Round ratios to four significant digits. Round journal entries to the nearest dollar.)
