Magee discusses monitoring cost variances. A cost variance is the difference between a budgeted cost and an actual cost. Magee describes the following situation: Michael Bitner has responsibility for control of two manufacturing processes. Every week he receives a cost variance report for each of the two processes, broken down by labor costs, materials costs, and so on. One of the two processes, which we'll call process A , involves a stable, easily controlled production process with a little fluctuation in variances. Process B involves more random events: the equipment is more sensitive and prone to breakdown, the raw material prices fluctuate more, and so on. "It seems like I'm spending more of my time with process B than with process A," says Michael Bitner. "Yet I know that the probability of an inefficiency developing and the expected costs of inefficiencies are the same for the two processes. It's just the magnitude of…arrow_forwardClick to watch the Tell Me More Learning Objective 1 video and then answer the questions below. 1.

- Away, as discussed in the chapter opener, uses a costing system with standard costs for direct materials, direct labor, and overhead costs. Two comments frequently are mentioned in relation to standard costing and variance analysis: “Variances are not explanations” and “Management’s goal is not to minimize variances.” Required Write a short memo (no more than one page) to Jen Rubio and Steph Korey, Away’s co-founders, interpreting these two comments in the context of their luggage business.arrow_forwardStandard Costing and Variance Analysis Standard cost systems set budgets for the materials, labor, and factory overhead used by a manufacturer to produce its product. Deviations from these standards are reported as variances.. Standards-variance analysis cost control system can be applied to non-manufacturing businesses, provided that they use repetitive activities to produce a common product or service. Based on real-life experience, describe and discuss a non-manufacturing (service) business that could benefit from the use of standards. Also explain how standards would help that business control its operations.arrow_forwardStandard Costing, Ethical Behavior, Usefulness of Costing Objective 1, 2, 3 Pat James, the purchasing agent for a local plant of the Oakden Electronics Division, was considering the possible purchase of a component from a new supplier. The component's purchase price, $0.90, compared favorably with the standard price of $1.10. Given the quantity that would be purchased, Pat knew that the favorable price variance would help to offset an unfavorable variance for another component. By offsetting the unfavorable variance, his overall performance report would be impressive and good enough to help him qualify for the annual bonus. More importantly, a good performance rating this year would help him to secure a position at division headquarters at a significant salary increase. Purchase of the part, however, presented Pat with a dilemma. Consistent with his past behavior, Pat made inquiries regarding the reliability of the new supplier and the part's quality.
